Disclaimer: I sadly own nothing
*A/N* sorry for the wait, I was busy. I know that's always the excuse but really in the past four days this has what happened: I got a new puppy!, finished my book project on GG5, made my plan for rube Gold burg project (everything has to move, I can't touch a thing and I have to build every simple machine), had 115 math problems (as HW) for algebra, 5 tests, chorus concert, band concert, orchestra concert, (my friend actually passed out from heat at the chorus concert poor thing) and then…. I worked on this I just finished it hope y'all like it!
Cammie's P. O.V
Everyone's head snapped towards the door, I'm sad to say I wasn't surprised. There stood three angry Gallagher girls and a very mad and…proud Joe. "Hi Joe" I squeaked and wiped my face clean of the stray tears. "Cameron" I flinched at the name. His eyes flickered to the gun and then Zach. His teeth gritted as his eyes cut to Ryan "You were going to use him as a ransomed weren't you?" I looked at Ryan "Is that what you were doing? Him for your family?" That didn't make sense why would Zach's mom held his family hostage for her son? Couldn't she just come get him? He shook his head at me and turned to Joe. "How much do you know?" his voice was almost pleading, Joe huffed in slowly "Let's take a step out" he gestured to out in the hall and Ryan fallowed closely behind. The girls stepped in as he closed the door behind him. I looked at my roommates "How did you know I was in here?" a guilty look passed between them. 'Well…." Liz started "we sort of" Macey continued on. "Bugged you" Bex finished. "What!" I practically yelled. "When and why?" I demanded standing close in front of the group. "Not for a bad reason!" Liz blurted. "We kind of had an um… theory?" It came out as a question. I cocked an eyebrow "And this theory was?" I asked expectantly. Macey sighed "Well I said that you like Zach because well you two seem to be sneaking off quite a lot and then Bex said it was some secret mission. So we put it to the test" Bex sighed "I bugged you, but we didn't turn it on until you left the room" she looked up at me questionably. "Where does Mr. Solomon fit into all of this?" piped up Grant. I shot him a look and looked back at them, they were silent. "Well?"
"Well after about a minute after you left he came bursting through the door looking for you. Once we said we had bugged you and you left we all started listening in on your um…." Macey trailed off
"Murder scene" Bex coughed and smiled up at me mischievously. I pursed my lips "So you know about….?" I trailed off. They all looked down "We know…. Everything" I looked down. "Oh" was all I could possibly muster.
Ryan's P. O .V
I mentally gulped as I stepped outside with Mr. Solomon; he'd always seemed close to Zach. I closed the door behind me as the girls stepping into the door probably wanting to talk to Cammie. I looked back up at Mr. Solomon. He sighed quickly as he looked at me "Ryan do you care for Cammie?" the question took my off guard. "Excuse me sir?" seeing is I had heard him right. He knew I liked Cammie she was my best friend! He sighed "Ryan do you care for Cammie?" he repeated. I nodded "Of course I do, yes" he seemed to be fighting with his inner thoughts, like he debating only saying something. He whipped his face with his hands "Okay" he started "Ryan as you know you were contacted by Mrs. Goode a few days ago correct?" I nodded. "Do you know anything about her or her relationship with her son?" I shook my head. "No, all I know is she has my family and well she wants Cammie" I looked at him but his eyes darted away from mine. "Do you know why she wants her?" I pressed he sighed once more (A/N Sorry for all the sighing but that's how I image it) and he looked me straight in the eye.
"Yes… Ryan as you learned Cammie father is Mathew Morgan. Before Matt went MIA he was on a mission; to take down the Circle"
"Circle?" he nodded
(A/N for this scene to make sense I had to tweak a couple facts from the book, I'll make it all clear at the bottom A/N)
"The Circle of Caven, there an ancient terrorist organization, who has been around for a long time. They want Cammie because they think she knows something. Maybe a secret code, a cut out, anything we don't know"
"Who's we?" I challenged. He looked around to make sure no one was listening or in sight, he pulled me into a nearby classroom. "Ryan you cannot tell anyone about this not even Cammie about this, we will tell her when the time is right. Do you understand?" I thought about it, truly for a moment was it worth not telling Cam? Well can I save her? That was the real question, I nodded quickly. He pulled back "Look Zach is Mrs. Goode's son but he's nothing like her" I scoffed "How do you know it's just not an act?" he looked around the classroom. "Ryan do you know the history of Blackthorne" I shook my head.
"No, no one's ever said anything" he looked around dragging his figure against the wall. "Well years ago this wasn't a school for spies"
"what?" I said voicing my thoughts
He hit a crack at the wall and a compartment came down showing a dagger. I stepped back he turned to me. "It used to be a school for assassins" Okay so I know showing emotion was bad for spies but seriously? I had just found out my school was for assassins. My jaw did understandably drop but I quickly closed it. "Wha-what happened" I managed to stutter it out. He got a look where he looked like he wanted to smile and frown at the same time. "Only a few years ago it changed. Zach was the one who helped me actually, it was right after his eighth grade year here. He hated his mother probably more than me even. We both wanted to change Blackthorn and…we did." I looked at him "How?" he shook his head "That is a story for another day right now we need to focus on the problem at hand. Ryan Zach is a good man, I've practically raised him "that shocked me. Mr. Solomon raised Zach? What about Cammie! He knew she was alive; he dated her aunt why wouldn't he help her too? "What about Cammie?" his face darkened
"I suppose you're wondering why I wasn't in Cams life? " I nodded
He sighed "The circle is a very dangerous group, big enough to kill thousands, but small enough to slip through the cracks" he continued. "I knew once her parents were dead that no one could know she was alive, Abby knew this too. The CIA would have taken her, questioned her, and she wouldn't have got to… live. Or be with what was left of her family. She's a vital asset to the circle and now they know she's alive and they will get what they want at any cost" I shudder at the thought of Cammie being tortured. We shared a moment of silence "I'm sorry" I said bluntly. He looked surprised "What are you apologizing for?" I shrugged and looked around the classroom. "I guess I'm sorry for trying to take Zach, I didn't know. I guess he's pretty important to you…like Cammie" I said the last part as an afterthought. "But" I dragged on "There's something I don't get. How did the circle find out Cammie's alive?" he shrugged "Moles, double agents, as I said small enough to slip through our fingers" he started towards the door me fallowing in toe. "I hope you now understand what we have to do now Mr. Blaker (A/N When I re-read the story after I posted it I realized I said his last name was Blake, sorry for the mistake on the past one his original last name is Blaker) I nodded at him "Yes, sir of course" but I had a bad feeling I really didn't.
**A/N**so I was thinking of possible questions and parts that could get confusing but I'll put how I tweaked the original story. 1) Well I kind of made Mr. Solomon already change Blackthorn, so it's a spy school NOT and assassin one. 2) (Possible spoiler for GG5) Dr. Steve is May or may not be in the circle, I haven't really decided. Note: I think I said assassins' in like the first chapter but I re-write it to spy. Sorry when I write I do not have a plan, here is how I write: Get idea, write down opening then big shocker/ leading to main point, then….fill in the blanks! SO basically I type whatever comes into my brain at that moment and then when I'm done. Sorry (as always) for any mistakes or Confusion, if you have a question please feel free to ask! Please Rand R, oh and THANK YOU for the 5 reviews! I was jumping up and down doing the happy dance. Thanks again y'all!
