Yeah, I don't own anything from Kings or Gallagher even though I really wish... (My mind just started singing, I know you I walked with you once upon a dreeeaaaammm... (I think I'm insane))
The cold air was cold on Cammie's face; they watched the door to the hut shut in silence. Knowing they were never going to come back, and that they could all be dead in an hour. Liz ushered them all into the treeline, the darkness around them meaning they disappeared with only their snowy footprints to show where they had gone. Once they were into the trees enough they all climbed up into the tree's and, following Zach's expert lead, climbed from tree to tree until they had put enough distance from the footprints to themselves.
They dropped down and walked to the bottom of the hill, where the van they had come in was parked. They all climbed in and Jonas started up the engine, everyone made themselves comfortable and packed their bags in carefully.
"Ready?" Liz asked, opening a map.
"Bex literally asked that 10 minutes ago…" Grant chuckled; Liz ignored him and slid out of the dig out onto the road. The tires slid slightly as they slipped down the rest of the hill, but Jonas controlled it until they hit a road and they trundled off into the night as Preston's watch beeped midnight.
Townsend watched the girl faint, she was one of the team and the fact the boy caught her so easily and before she had really fallen was already odd. He glanced to see her other friends all watching intently from the platform they were on, they looked slightly worried but also… determined? The boy carried the girl out the room, followed by all her friends. Everyone went back to what they were doing, except Townsend, who dodged around the crowd and to the door. He just about saw a set of bright green eyes survey they crowd before the door shut silently.
"Buck…" Townsend spoke into the small wristband on his right arm, but his curiosity won him over and he followed them instead. He silently edged into the entrance hall, and disconnected his band. The guards were all dead asleep, or worse, on the floor. As if they had all just collapsed.
"F…udge." He muttered under his breath, if they had got out… Well he would hope his head looked pretty on a spike.
Wishing he didn't have such a capable set of teenagers under his care, he went over to the small panel of logs of when the lift had been used and flipped it open. Then he heard light footsteps behind him. Spinning round he saw a boy running towards the medical room, slipping into the shadows he followed him up the stairs and along a corridor. The boy skidded into the medical room and silently opened another cupboard. Townsend expected him to run to the medical cupboards to help the girl that fainted, but instead he flicked a few of the lights on and ran out again. Townsend stuck to the shadows and watched him fly past, he was still looking slightly afraid but also defiant and excited. He skidded into the doom room and Townsend watched from the top of the stairs as the room went quiet and still.
Then suddenly the door opened, Townsend reached for his wristband but then snuck into a nearby doorway instead. Watching them file past all in totally inconspicuous clothes he realised what they were going to do and reached for his band again.
"Buckingham, we…" They reached the door, didn't even notice the guards and left as if it was a normal day at work. "Oh shit."
Townsend spotted a small scrap of paper on the floor in the entrance hall. He jumped down the steps and looked at the note, picking it up it said in the normal scrawl of a teenage boy,
Second draw down, your room.
Townsend looked up at the now closed door; these kids were in for one hell of a ride.
The small van bounced over a bump in the road and the team rolled in their sleep. Jonas sat behind the wheel, the small vibrations from the poor road texture making his arms ache. He glanced in the rear view mirror to see 7 sleeping teenagers, even Cammie and Zach lay curled up asleep. He reached for the gear stick and shifted perfectly into 4. Thanking his lucky stars that his mum drove an auto and a manual, and that he had taught himself to drive in the second. A snort from the back made him jump slightly; he hadn't quite ever gained the agent like ability of the others to be fearless to jump scares. But at least Zach now made sense; at least his story was more complete. Glancing in the mirror again he watched Cammie's mouth twist into a painful shape, her fists clenched and Zach's eyes shot open.
Jonas frowned, was she going to wake everyone up? They needed all the rest they could! Jonas began to look for somewhere to pull over but Zach distracted him. He didn't hesitate in his actions when he saw Cammie, running a finger down her palm and fingers he whispered quietly,
"Sing a song, to awaken.
Sing a song, for life.
Sing a song until your heart can fly.
Because one day, you never know, your wish might come true.
But for now, know that I love you." The tune was soft and Jonas had never heard Zach sing, it seemed to be a song Cammie knew as when her eyes blinked open she smiled and sang the last line back exactly the same.
"Jonas, get some sleep. I'll drive." Zach muttered from the back, Jonas read that as I need to talk to Cammie. He nodded and pulled into the side of the deserted road. Jumping out he noticed a small light in the hedgerow. He picked it up he looked at it carefully, it seemed to be a listening device of sorts, it gave him a small electric shock. A small symbol was on the back, a big C with an O in the middle then another big backwards C. Putting it down he walked to Zach and Cammie and whispered almost silently to them,
"Listening device of Circle of Cavan, they are on us, they wanted us to find it."
"Joan? What's this?" Zach said louder, his perfect English accent astounding Cammie. He smiled at her and she twigged,
"Rupert? Get out that hedge now, you have no idea what could be in there, I've heard they have foxes!" Zach picked up the small device and turned it over in his hand, a small shock made him frown, the cold metal hurting his skin. "Oh, that's pretty what is it?" Cammie took it off him, flinched slightly at the shock, as Zach shrugged; she turned it over onto its side and smiled. Jonas handed her a tiny screwdriver out of his pocket she undid the tiny nuts holding it in place.
"Joan, I know you are an electrician and all but it could be a bomb." Zach suggested, hiding his grin. His eyes looked over every small wire and little connection inside; pointing to one he grinned and cut it with his penknife. The light went out and Cammie grinned, "Can never be too careful." Zach said, still in his accent he took it off her and threw it as far as he could into the wilderness.
"They have been here." He dropped his facade and let his fear show openly. "They knew we would find it."
"That means they are nearby."
"They could know the base, Joe might have told them."
"They probably do." Jonas interjected his speech blank and matter of fact. Cammie looked down at the floor worried, "And that means they know where we are. Hate to bother you, but we have a tail to lose, and I'm afraid that means ridding ourselves of this van."
"Not yet, we need to get somewhere safe first, we can't just wander around alone in the dark." Zach frowned, "Let's get to Edinburgh, we can find somewhere safe there." Cammie nodded, from his emphasis she realised he meant make contact, but he didn't want to say that in case they overheard.
"Let's go." Jonas climbed into the back of the van and as the engine started up he let himself get lulled into uneasy sleep.
Ed, Dad, Townsend,
You say a word to anyone and I get to scratch out the middle one, because for once I need you to take off your Agent head and act like a teenager.
We have gone, we have left to finish what you guys all started, just not necessarily in the same style as you tried. We can do it, we have been training for it since we could walk, and that not an exaggeration.
Due to the nature of a letter I can't say where we are going, or what we are going to do. Use your head and work it out, because I know you well enough to know you can at least do that. All I would say is AW doesn't mean absent wittering's and that if that is the case to think parallel.
You seem an alright person Ed, I can't say I will ever really regard you as a 'Dad' and I'm pretty sure you knew that. But you don't seem too bad, and at some point I really do need to teach you to kick better, they are flimsy and weak, I would recommend asking Sam and Eva if you have a real problem. Bex says if you don't continue to get a better person she will boot you up there with Grant's guitar, which by the way you need to keep clean for him when we get back.
If we get back.
Don't tell anyone else about this, when they ask you deny any knowledge, I know you were watching us and know we have run but they will work that out in time too, just wait for that to come before you say anything basically. But I'm pretty sure you knew that already, you're a good Agent Townsend.
Keep everyone safe, and yourself.
Zach and Cammie.
Cammie glanced in the rear view mirror at the others all sleeping, checking her small watch she saw it was 6 o'clock, sneaking a glance to her left she could see Zach, his eyes were closed but he wasn't fully asleep. Just dozing, looking back at the road she spotted a sign ahead,
Edinburgh 10 m
"YES!" Cammie squealed without thinking, "Oh… sorry." Everyone sat up, rubbing their eyes and looking around.
"What the hell Cam?!" Bex snarled from Grant's shoulder.
"Sorry, it's just, its 10 miles to Edinburgh." She muttered. Everyone woke up to this, "Jonas can you fill them in." Cammie went back to looking at the road and observing number plates. Zach shuffled into the middle and whispered quietly to her,
"You know I love you right?" He asked quietly, Cammie nodded and smiled at him silently, "Good because I don't know if I will ever be able to say it again, because JDC 25T has been following us for nearly 3 hours."
"Shit." Cammie muttered, glancing in the mirrors noticing the plain black car with what looked like two women and two men in the car. Swerving in-between two cars she watched them carefully, they followed swiftly. "Shit!" She slammed her foot on the accelerator and watched the team in the back slide around.
"We have a tail, on a motorway, in Scotland. GIVE THE WHEEL TO BEX!" Liz squealed as the van swerved dangerously between two cars, a horn blared and Cammie just stepped on the accelerator. "SHE IS THE MOST DANGEROUS DRIVER WE HAVE, AND SHE IS USED TO DRIVING ON THE LEFT!" Liz yelled again, louder. Bex dropped down next to Cammie in the middle seat,
"Well, give it over." Bex grinned; shuffling onto Cammie's lap she took the wheel and slammed her foot on the accelerator even harder. The speedo dial snapped in half.
Townsend kicked the door shut and clicked the small lock, pulling out his penknife he climbed onto his small desk in his tiny room he clicked open the smoke detector and cut open the red wire, the flashing light went out and Townsend stepped down. Pulling out his small lighter he set fire to the bottom of the letter, watching the letters curl into a small pile of ashes he dropped it onto the floor and kicked the ashes away under his bed.
Smiling to himself he pulled out the small from his wardrobe, opening the front patch he unzipped the small bag inside. A small scrap of paper fell out,
Call me when Zach needs help, 07979 543 567
Flicking it open he pulled out his mobile, and entered the number, he had hacked the internal signal a little while ago.
"Hello, yes I would. Oxford no brogues." (A.N. Yes mon amies, it's what you think it is.)
The black car was getting closer and closer to them now, and if it wasn't for Bex grinning and using new inventive swear words constantly, then they would all be scared to death.
They were now off the motorway and winding though the outer suburbs of the city. Bex had the window open and was yelling sorry at an almost 2 second basis as she nearly hit everyone in view. Sliding the back end round they spun onto the main road, Bex still screaming sorry at anyone who was close enough to hear, if they hadn't been hit. Then suddenly a sound of a gun made everyone jump,
"Oh look, bullets. Bex put your foot down girl."
"Whoopee, those f**k nuggets stand no chance!" She squealed and virtually stood up, the car horns got louder and the cars in front wove out the way, the car behind took a second then caught up, Bex glanced away for one second and then the sudden stopping of the Van into another car, they jolted to a stop suddenly and the bullets restarted. "Oh crap." She muttered, "Fancy a run?" Flicking a button in the front the back doors unlocked, everyone pulled their guns out and kicked open the doors at the ready. Cammie stepped out and heard the bullets wiz again,
"Run Cam!" Bex yelled as Zach grabbed Cammie's hand and dragged her away, firing in the direction of the cars. All Cammie could see was the top of the hill, Dr Steve lying dead at her feet and the men all dead around her, her eyes started to swim with tears. The street was crowded with stationary cars and screaming people, all running for safety, the sound of police cars was nearby, the blue lights reflecting off the tall buildings around. The sound of screaming and footsteps surrounded her, letting her instincts kick in she dived into an alley.
"Right, remember that Park Ore lesson we had? Time to put it into use." Macey called but before they could run a hand grabbed Cammie and pinned her against the wall, he was wearing a neat suit and held a gun to her head. Cammie saw Bex raise her gun and aim,
"So you're Cameron Morgan, we have been looking for you little…" He never finished his sentence because a bullet flew though his head at over 100mph. Cammie crumpled for a second, catching her breath.
"Oh, that was fun." Bex stood with her gun out, well until 7 people appeared nearby, all holding guns and looking around. They all wore neat suits too and looked down the alley they were in "Run." Bex's face fell and they dashed off towards a small wall at the end,
"There they are!" A voice yelled but Grant dropped over the wall and they disappeared into the alleyway and onto the main street. All hiding their guns again they attempted to blend in, but a man stood stock still in front of Cammie, turning round to go round him he stepped in front of her again, Zach tried to shoot him but a man took is gun off him and kicked him in the stomach. Cammie heard a shot and a man fell and then Bex yelled as another man shot her in the calf.
They were surrounded and out of ammo. One dead man lay on the ground and Bex stood limping.
It had all happened so fast, and the crowds around were all screaming and running away. Cammie's eyes were swimming with tears and flashbacks from Dr Steve's incident swam around her head, making her feel sick. They had a wall of a building behind them, 10 men in front of them, all holding guns and they were all breathing heavily.
"Now we have you safe. We need you two in." One of the men said, more men arrived behind them and Zach sagged, they couldn't fight 15 people at once. "So come quietly and nobody gets hurt." Cammie's back hit the wall and her heart sank, they were almost certainly dead. All 8 of them were lined up, ready.
"Never." Zach snarled at them, a single shot sounded, the screaming from nearby people came back and Grant fell slightly, the man had hit him in the upper arm. "Let them go and we will come quietly." Zach changed his mind, taking Cammie's hand and she nodded. The sound of lots of heavy footsteps came and Cammie saw policemen standing in a circle around them.
"POLICE DROP YOUR WEAPONS!" A man behind a shield yelled, none of them responded, still concentrating on the 8 teenagers. Cammie noticed one of the Circle men fall silently at the back, disappearing from view, then another and another.
"We will let them go." The man said.
"Let them go NOW." Cammie stated calmly, another shot sounded, Liz this time. He had shot her in the foot. "Please!" She yelled, she gave up looking strong and pleaded. The chaos around made it hard to see or hear anything, she just about see a helicopter overhead. Police surrounding them and the circle men silently dropping one by one.
"Oh… We're dead anyway." Grant muttered and he sprung forward, all the others followed.
Chaos broke out, yelling, screaming, and fighting. She felt an arm grab around her neck and Zach scream something as they were wrenched apart. She thrashed against the arm of her captor but he didn't move. He didn't even flinch.
"Shut up girl." He scowled; Cammie went limp watching the fight. The police were moving forward, advancing but it was too much too late. Grant was the last one, a punch to the temple and he was knocked out. An eerie silence fell on the scene as the two men holding Zach and Cammie let them stand in silence.
"Now talk." The one holding Zach said.
"Never." Zach yelled back, and flicking upwards he kicked him in the head with surprising force. The man fell and Zach stood back up to help Cammie but he froze. Cammie felt the muzzle of a gun pressed to her head.
"You even move I kill her." The man said, Zach didn't nod but he mumbled yes. "Talk. Or i…" Cammie heard the bang, and felt the arm go limp. As he fell she fell down too, her head hitting the floor, the world began to spin. Zach fell down next to her,
"Cammie?!" He yelled, and Cammie nodded.
"What…" She muttered, attempting to sit up but she wretched and lay back down. A man appeared next to them. He wore a perfectly neat suit, held a briefcase and wore a pair of 80's glasses. "Who are…" She started. Zach was glaring at him too.
"I'm the man who saved your life." He said, his British Accent even more pronounced than Bex's.
