Semi-regular Disclaiment
*Chapter 30*
Zach hung of the bed by his knees, it was something he was well known for in the CIA, if something had vanished from your hands look up and you might see a dark haired boy hanging above you holding it. He didn't know where he had learnt it from but he guessed it was probably tree related and spying on people when he had run away. His hands were starting to hurt so he let go of his t-shirt and let them fall so they just touched the floor. His t-shirt fell over his face and Grant chucked at him, Zach reached out to hit him but Grant dodged the fist.
"BATFINK IS BACK!" Jonas called over when he saw Zach, Preston rolled his eyes and re-applied himself to the game of chess he was playing with Jonas. They were inside some random boys room, they could tell because it was half as messy as the girls, Zach had trained himself out of making his bed but most these boys hadn't. Grant grabbed Zach's jacket and held it just out of his reach,
"Come on Grant we don't need this game again, remember last time?" Zach raised an eyebrow at him and Grant nodded before dropping the Jacket next to Zach and taking a step away, "Anyway, how come your not back on the alcohol? I know for a fact you want to be, you talk about it in your sleep." He spoke more quietly now to Grant who ran his hands over his face.
"I have no idea, well I do… The girls. Why aren't you?"
"Because running for your life with a girl you love is best done not drunk or with a hangover." Zach grinned, "And also because I'm sick with being an adult, so I'm acting like a 17 year old should." Grant shook his head, and blinked a few times before looking at Zach incredulously.
"Did I hear you say love?" He said as if Zach was mad, Zach shrugged, which is quite hard when your hanging upside down.
"I dunno, I think that's what its called…" Zach ran a hand through his hair, a sign he was embarrassed and Grant nodded.
"Let me guess, weird sort of magnetic attraction…"
"… they stick in your head even when you concentrating…"
"… slightly sick feeling when they look amazing…"
"… wonder how on earth you had the guts to ask…"
"… wondering how the hell you haven't run for your life…"
"… wanting to keep her safe." Zach finished, "Grant, we are doomed!" He did a vertical sit up and jumped off the boys bed, Grant shook his head slightly.
"How are we meant to show the girls this?" He asked Zach, "I mean you seem to have got it, whatever it is, you just know what to do, how do you do it?"
"I have no idea, oh…" Zach was looking at the door to see Macey looking her normal stunning self.
"How did I ever get the guts to ask?" Preston whispered as she held her hand out to him, he took it and the boys followed him out into the corridor. Zach looked around as Macey started to speak, Liz looked simple but nice, Bex was, as normal looking like a goddess, and his eyes landed on Cammie. Her hair was in a ponytail with the ends curled down to her shoulders, her eyes were outlined with black makeup and her lips were slightly red. She was wearing a black crop top, black jeans, grey baseball boots and her army jacket. In her hand was the tiara, Zach smiled and stepped over. She finally looked up and stuck her arms out,
"I am not liking this." She muttered to him pointing at her bare stomach, he smiled.
"Personally I'm a fan." Zach smirked and put his hands under her jacket on her back.
"You would be, if I remember correctly you asked me out when I was hiding under this exact coat because you kept asking me to take my top off."
"Well, I think that worked." Zach grinned and Cammie hit him lightly over the head, "Yep I think it worked." Zach grabbed her round the waist and threw her over his shoulder. She kicked and hit Zach but he just laughed and joined up with the others who didn't even question. Cammie grinned at Bex, who motioned a kiss, she nodded and turned round to see them descending the stairs, picking a point on his neck she waited and kissed his neck lightly. He dropped her and she grinned at him, a few other student groups passed them.
"Well, I think that worked." Cammie grinned at him, he scowled while trying not to smile at her, she laughed and dragged him into the canteen and onto their table. They took a seat and reached for the food in the middle.
"Wonder when the ball will be." Macey wondered aloud, Bex grinned and clapped excitedly, Liz frowned and Cammie just head butted the table, "I mean, I need to go shopping. It will be amazing! You boys better go away though, you cannot see any of us until the night." Macey said the last word in a whisper.
"Macey, can't we just go paintballing or something. I don't care about…" Cammie started
"Don't you dare! You better care it's the first time dearest Zachary will see you looking amazing!" Macey threw her hands in the air and hit Grace B in the face.
"Thank you Mace, now guys we need you to stop being so disruptive, please we need you co-operation for us to be able to vanish better when we need to go and find out some…"
"Can we go out?" Bex asked hopefully, "I mean, get to do something."
"No, you all need to stay here until everything is safe." Grace stood up fully, "Anyway, please." And she walked off, Bex turned around and Cammie could see a spark in her eyes.
"We are going to go some time, right?" She asked, looking towards Zach and Cammie who nodded, "Good, because I cannot stand it when my mother says that."
"STUDENTS!" Graham stood up, the all turned and silence fell, "We have an announcement, as part of your C&A work and a treat from the teachers we are giving everybody a ball…" The whole school either cheered or sighed, "You will be going to Edinburgh shopping tomorrow!" The cheer made everybody's ears hurt and Cammie's head hit the table with a thud.
\_ (OO) _/
Cammie looked down at herself in the mirror, she looked stunning. She now had dark brown eyes, flowing mid brown hair, a cute little nose, a beauty spot on her upper lip and a much slimmer face thanks to Macey's makeup. She stood next to a girl with bright blonde hair in a bob, she had very light blue eyes and was very pale. Another girl had very long dark brown hair, grey/green eyes and a slightly large nose but it suited her. The last girl was in a chair, she had 'amputated' legs and slightly frizzy, but neat, red hair and a freckled face. She was grinning at them,
"I don't even recognise us, now everyone remember your names? Rose." Bex turned to them and they looked back,
"Maisy." The blonde girl said in a voice very similar to Macey McHenry's.
"Lily." The girl with mermaid hair said, she fiddled with the bag at her side.
"Charlotte." Cammie grinned, "Wait, don't we need to change clothes too?" She went over to Macey's wardrobe, Bex moved to Cammie's wardrobe, Liz to Bex's and Macey went to Liz's. Cammie pulled out an open backed dress, leather jacket, red belt and converses. Pulling them on she looked in the mirror at the girls who were also now changed.
"Oh my god." Liz muttered when she looked down, she was wearing ripped skinny jeans and a large white t-shirt. Bex was in a dress with a hoodie over it. Macey looked unrecognisable however. A pale green tatty hoodie, straight jeans, tatty trainers and a pale pink top. She smiled,
"We look nothing like ourselves. Come on, bus leaves in 1 hour." She grabbed Cammie's hand and dragged her into the corridor. The minute they walked out they became their aliases. Cammie stood up straighter and walked with more of a fling to her hips and the other two became quieter. Cammie remembered looking at the boys files and, to her delight, Grace had decided to keep a few of them in partners.
"Hey, Will! Hurry up you twit!" She called in her perfect English accent, Bex had been working with them for hours on it, a mutter came back and somebody yelling, "We are coming, chill out!" Four boys fell out the door, one of them grinned at Cammie who smirked back. He had the look of a surfer dude, hair in his eyes, which were dark dark blue, and a permanent tan. A boy with shoulder length hair was behind him, he had browny green eyes and a missing tooth. A slightly weaker looking boy behind grinned to show braces, he walked over to Macey and started to talk about cars. The final boy had lightish brown hair which defied gravity in a very attractive way, he was very tanned and had mid brown eyes. The final boy didn't grin at Cammie, he didn't greet her like the other boys a smile began to creep onto his face, then finally a grin. He was taller than Cammie and he placed his arms around her and spun her round with her feet of the floor.
"Will!" She squealed and he finally put her down,
"I can tell you now, you should wear that more often." He had an easy air and was also perfectly English, "Anyway, dad's waiting for us." He called, the one who Cammie hoped was Grant as he had looked around before giving Bex a quick kiss and dropping back again. The one she knew was Jonas lead the way with Macey and Preston wandered at the back with Grant.
"Dan! It is not the Aston Martin!" Maisy squealed at the front, Dan shook his head and they continued to argue all the way down the stairs to the three adults at the bottom of the stairs.
"Hey Baby." The woman said, hugging Will who hugged back. She had 'Will's' hair and eyes, a man with his tan and smile also hugged him and then Charlotte who hugged back. The final man hugged Maisy who grinned at him. Cammie didn't know who was who until the man who had hugged Will took Grace's hand in a subtly different way to the normal way. The two parents, Will and Charlotte and Rose, who Will helped and Charlotte sorted her chair, climbed into the first very posh Range Rover and the rest into a tatty VW.
"We have blacked out the windows in the back so you can unfold your legs Bex." Townsend said in his normal voice. Bex sighed heavily and unfolded her legs.
"Can we be normal now dad?" Zach asked, he put great emphasis on dad knowing he could say it in both versions and it would be normal.
"Sure." Townsend said and Zach rolled his eyes at Cammie who shrugged back.
"I prefer the other you," He said quietly in Cammie's ear, "This one is too…"
"I prefer this me, surprisingly, much more perfect, pretty and elegant."
"Nope, I love Cammie. Not Charlotte." Zach said in his English accent, "I like this accent better, anyway where are we from I got caught up looking at your face in the file."
"Zach!"
"What?" Zach tried to sound innocent as Grace spun around and glared at him, he stuck his tounge out and turned back to the two girls who were doubled over in laughter, "Care to tell me?"
"You two are from Stratford Upon-Avon, go to Stratford high school. You met in form and she has had a crush on you for over a year. You asked her to prom but she said no because she had a better idea, you went paintballing with a load of your friends and your first kiss was when she won. Your both 17 and still together. I am Cammie's old best friend, moved to London where I met those guys. You come down semi-regually so you know them pretty well. Really William keep up." Bex smirked and lay back in her seat, Cammie turned to Zach who just smiled and wrapped his arms around her. Cammie tucked her feet up and closed her eyes on Zach's shoulder.
/_ ("O") _\
"We're here!" Townsend called back to them as he turned the car and parked up neatly, "We are in the fairly posh side of town, but keep your weapons close." Townsend slid out of the open door and went to talk to the VW driver next to them, with 4 hyper looking teenagers in the back. Will climbed out too and helped Rose into her chair and then the three of them went over to the other car and began to help the others out.
"Keep safe, we will be here in 5 hours to pick you up. Love you all." Grace grinned and climbed back into the car. The group looked at each other and wandered off towards the shopping centre. They went down in the dusty lift and descended in silence. Stepping out Charlotte grinned and dragged the rest of them out.
"Right boys, you go wherever we aren't. Meet you back here in 4?" They all nodded and walked off, she turned back to the girls and Rose grinned back at her.
"Well? What are we waiting for, a have looked at a map and the whole 'posh dresses' thing is over in the right wing on the second floor. COME ON MAISY!" She rolled off and the group all grouped together, Charlotte could feel Maisy covering her back every 2 or so minutes. First they ducked into a large shop and went Christmas shopping for the team and then they continued chatted unconcerned and slid into the first, 'prom' shop. The lady at the cashier smiled at them,
"Hello can I help you?"
"Yes please, could you help us pick some stunning dresses for a ball at school?" Charlotte asked in the flawless English accent.
"Oh of course! For anyone special?" Charlotte smirked and the lady grinned back, "I will make sure it's beautiful for all of you. Maisy walked off between the isles frowning at them all, Rose grabbed Lily's arm and dragged her too and the lady went to join Maisy. Charlotte ambled between the 7 isles and over 70 dresses, 14 mirrors, 237 silver floor tiles, 206 gold floor tiles and 431 white floor tiles. Maisy was holding 4 dresses in her hands and walking towards the 4 changing rooms, she stumbled inside and shut the curtain. Charlotte turned around and did a 360 scan of the shop. The whole front was glass which was re-enforced, the counter was about 1.5 meters high and had jewellery stored below in 5 glass and metal shelves. There were two doors to the back and either side of the 4 red curtains were shelves of shoes. A few manikins adorned the front of the shop but it was mostly clear glass. Lily squealed and held up a pale blue dress, hugged it and ran off to the changing rooms. Maisy stumbled out in the first dress, it was frilly and made her look too pale. Rose said this and she went back in, Charlotte started to actually look at the dresses, running her hands over the covering plastic. She looked out the window again until a small electric shock made her jump, she looked down to see a shiny looking dress she tried to walk off but her finger was stuck in a small hole, it brushed against the dress and she felt lace that felt like silk. She pulled it off the hanger and looked at it. It had lace all over the neckline and down to the main bodice where it became light red fabric, the lace went down the arms the wrists and turning it round she saw most the back was lace too.
"Miss? Do you want to try that dress on?" The lady asked.
"Urm…"
"Yes." Rose threw her voice and changed it so it looked like Charlotte had said it, she gave her a glare and the lady gave it to her out the packaging. It was light and extremely soft,
"Go and try it on, I think it will suit you." The lady ushered her towards the room. She stepped inside and got changed; the dress was not too close fitting but fit her body neatly. The lace was white and the light red faded to dark red at the bottom. She stepped out and spun round in front of Rose who gasped and nodded, the lady clapped and held out a pair of silver heals which she slipped on and a large silver necklace.
"Oh my… BUY IT!" Maisy nodded along with Lily who clapped. Charlotte stepped inside the room took it off and took the various items to the cashier, paid with the card and once they had all made up their minds they exited the shop and they glanced around.
"I recognise her, I have seen her before pushing a baby trolley." Charlotte pointed out a woman, she was watching them.
"And him." Maisy said, "Charlotte lets go."
"Come on guys, let's go find the boys." Charlotte began to push Rose and the man followed them, they quickened their pace slightly but continued to talk absent minded.
"Cameron Morgan?" The man asked, "I'm from the CIA." The girls didn't even respond, pretending they had no idea who Cammie was. Charlotte felt a hand on her shoulder and turned around to see a man pulling her round.
"Hello? Who are you?" She asked.
"I am Agent James Fredrick from the CIA, follow us please Cameron."
"Who is Cameron?"
"Don't play silly with us," a few other people stepped forward to surround them. Cammie started to think normally but kept herself like Charlotte, "We know who you all are." He pulled a gun and pointed it at her, the men and women around them all pulled weapons too. The girls closed ranks, all of them snapping out of whoever they were.
"5, Bex can you fight properly?" Cammie asked almost silently in Swahili.
"Trust me, me and Grant have been working on it for days. I'm back to normal." She muttered back in Russian.
"Liz?" Macey asked.
"I have a small amount of smoke bomb in my bag, enough to set off a distraction. I have seen a security room 560 meters to our left." She also spoke silently and in Japanese, they all looked right to put them off, as if it was agreed. The citizens were watching in silent fear, some were filming and others were huddled together in fear.
"Who are you?" Cammie stuck with her English accent but stopped the theatrics.
"We, my dear, are your ex-next-door neighbours. Old school teacher and some others. Please, we are the C.I.A." From this Cammie shivered. A voice, a lot like her mothers, rang though her head, 'Circle in Avengement'.
"What do you want?"
"You and Zachary."
"Who is he?" The woman to her left suddenly moved and shot a bullet at her feet, Cammie made herself flinch, even though she had trained herself not to in these circumstances, "Really this is beyond a joke." One of the men, who had a bruised nose, gave a short laugh.
"He is your beloved boyfriend. And I believe he is coming this way." They all turned and the crowd split as 7 more men came in with the four boys, all awake and all looking scared, Cammie knew better though.
"Will!" She screamed and rushed forward, hoping for a brush conversation. The woman grabbed her neck as she moved forward though and Cammie acted. She turned round and kicked her in the stomach. Macey punched one of the men, kicked the other. Liz hit one of them with her bag and he sprawled onto the floor out cold. The boys also acted, all of them performing similar moves to get out and knock out their opponents. They ran off though the crowd, losing all hope of hiding now. They could hear the agents getting up and following but they ignored them. Bex had grabbed their bags from the chair and was running normally. All of them had at least one shopping bag, because as Macey said,
"I DID NOT COME ALL THIS WAY TO LOOSE IT!" A few shots followed them which Grant returned.
"SPLIT!" Jonas called back in Spanish, they all dispersed down alleyways, making sure at least one boys was with a girl. Zach grabbed Cammie's hand and they dived into a New Look. Cammie pulled her gun out and clicked it into place,
"That's my girl." Zach whispered and clicked his own. They saw the shop assistant come over but she froze at the guns. "Shhhh Shhh!" Zach pulled her down next to them. He made a silence motion in sign language. She nodded and he let go.
"GUNS!" She screamed standing up. A sound of crashing people followed and they stood up and shot out the other side of the shop followed by crashing shelves and many many bullets. Cammie saw Grant and Bex hiding behind a large statue. She signalled to them to run, they sped off and Cammie and Zach shot in the opposite direction. The lights flickered overhead and all went out, civilians began to scream and Cammie continued to run, allowing the windows to guide her and Zach. Shots flew over her head and finally one hit, Zach turned to her in shock as she fell to the floor. Zach turned and shot four shots, the firing stopped and he knelt down next to her in the pitch black between two windows.
"Cammie, no." He said, a slight roughness was to his voice. Cammie clenched her fists to try to stay awake, but the pain was spreading from her lower shoulder all over her body. She closed her eyes and felt Zach shaking her, yelling her name. But she closed her eyes and let herself sink into oblivion.
