Before I had time to think, the lights were starting to fade and I was running down the halls with Cammie pulling me along. The only light source we had at the moment was the moon and even that was going to be gone soon due to the steel doors that were sliding over the stained doors.

Cammie seemed to be in a panic as she rushed down the hall ways. I didn't know where to go, what Code Black meant, or what was happening, so I followed Cammie since that was the only logically thing to do.

We hada close call with something that burst into flames next to us. Luckily, Cammie avoided it and we kept running. The most surprising thing that happened was the lanterns, which I thought was just for decoration, sprang to life with pale yellow light that drove away some of the darkness.

"I thought those were for decoration!" I yelled to Cammie.

I barely heard her over the sirens. "If everything goes right, they are," she said calmly, but her body movements and eyes said she was anything but calm.

Puzzles pieces were starting to be put together in my head as people ran past us in the dim lighting. "So this means…"

"Something is seriously not right," I heard Cammie breath more to herself than anyone else.

Things were changing all around us. Bookcases disappeared, doors swung shut and locked themselves without any help from humans, and I was blinded. My eyes were trying to adjust to the darkness then we'd run through a brightly lit corridor with many of the lanterns and I'd have to adjust my eyes again.

"It's security protocol. It must have been a breach," Cammie explained to me over the loud commotion. "The whole system goes into lockdown—nothing gets in," and right before she said her next words, behind us a steel door fell down and blocked the hallway we had just came from. "and nothing gets out."

As I watched the walls around us change and the Gallagher Academy change from a spy school to a school in lockdown, I noticed the girls of this school panic but at the same time they knew what they were doing. Boys of Blackthorne didn't know what to do, though they were calm. It was one of the first things your taught even if you don't go to a spy school. Stay calm.

"Does this happen a lot?" I called to Cammie.

She took a deep breath and looked around her before briefly meeting her eyes with my own. "No."

Her answer was…interesting. It was hard to explain. Anyway, when we reached the foyer, the crowd of people started to become thicker. It made holding onto Cammie's hand that much harder since our hands were slick with sweat.

I lost her. It made me panic more because I worried for her, but I remembered to stay calm and also remembered one of Solomon's first lessons.

I looked around me. Maybe I could find her, get more of explanation of what's going on here (even though she looked like she didn't know herself), and saw emergency lights going off everywhere. I also noticed Grant in the corner. He was looking around, confused as I was.

I made my way over to him. "What's going on? Do you know?"

When Grant saw me, he let out a sigh of relief despite the chaos still going on around him. Typical Grant. "No. I don't. Do you?"

Obviously, I didn't. I kept my mouth shut I watched Gallagher girls sprint around their school helping with the lockdown. Like Cammie said, something was terribly wrong.

I hope you like it. This is just the beginning to the loads of excitement I have planned. ^.^

Thanks for reading. Drop me a review?
