Chapter 6

To Many Lies. Not Enough Time

My brain felt fuzzy, and my body like lead. Everything seemed blurry. Voices clouded my mind making it hurt more.

Finally voices started becoming distinct. Bex's voice, Macey's voice, Flynn's voice, Zach's voice…. ZACH"S VOICE?

What in the name of… Wait this might be worth listening too.

For the moment it was silent. Than Bex spoke up "If they had the chance, why didn't they?"

"Wasn't the place and wasn't the time," Flynn responded. "Any place any time, she could have died tonight."

"But she didn't, did she, Bex? She's lying right there, asleep but alive," Zach said. He sounded upset. Just by listening I could tell Bex was unhappy too.

I felt something cool and wet wiping my eyes. I had to be Macey wiping away the day's makeup. Their topic changed but it had the same air as the last one. Uncertainly, determination, possible fear.

"You lost track of Winter, didn't you Zach?" Jonas said. Zach didn't answer.

"You did. If you won't admit it, then you did," Grant said. "You can't lie to us, Zach, not like you can to Cammie."

"Well, I don't want to lie to Cammie. Lying is what got us into this mess," Zach said, his voice rising more and more as he spoke. "In the case of losing Winter, she said she had to use the bathroom. She may be part of this and I may have to follow her but I will not follow her to the bathroom."

"She may have been going to have a meeting with Kane!" Liz said. "Or going to kill Cammie! If you had followed her we would have important information that could help us immensely. The point of you dating her is to gain her trust." It didn't sound like Liz at the moment. She sounded fierce. Unafraid. But I knew on the inside she was terrified. I think. Then Again I wasn't sure of much these days.

"She could have been going to murder Cammie. There is only one way we would know. We need to ask Cammie," Bex said.

"No Bex, if we start asking questions, she starts asking questions. Cammie knows nothing," Flynn shot Bex's idea down.

Bex huffed. "I don't want to keep this from her. This is her life at stake here."

"We have to wait," Grand said. It sounded like he had stood up. "We have orders. The CIA is being cautious with this case. This is just a lead but from the looks of it, it might be more."

Now I was really confused. And hurt. My friends were keeping secrets from me? I thought we told each other everything. Maybe everything they ever told me was lie? Now I felt so stupid, so dumb.

"It's just a matter of time before she gets killed," Bex countered him.

"In a matter of time we will know more. How many times do we have to explain it to you Bex?" Zach said impatiently. I knew Bex was glaring at him but I didn't dare open my eyes.

I heard Ray's small body streak down the hallway. I smiled in my head, trying not to give away that I was awake.

"We have one more thing we need to discuss before we leave tonight," Flynn said.

"I thought this was just an update meeting," Macey said.

"Shut up Macey," Liz sighed. Where they always like this to each other when they were talking? When I was not there? So many questions, not enough information.

"We seem to have acquired information about Matthew Morgan," Zach said. WHAT? WHAT ABOUT MY DAD? Now I really want to know what's going on. "We do not think he is who he says he is. We have evidence and lots of it," Zach continued. "We think he's the one who poisoned Rachel and the one who is blackmailing all of us. It's not definite but it would make sense given the fact we've seen him in some shady situations in the past months."

"Cammie said her dad has been really distant since her mom died. She said he's there but he's not there," Bex said.

"We need more info on her dad," Jonas said. "The problem is getting it out of her or finding out ourselves."

"We should find out ourselves," Bex said.

"We could," said Zach. "We should check with Solomon first. He's out for revenge on Matt. For several reasons."

"And those would be?" Macey asked.

"Classified." It was hard not to roll my eyes at that, but I didn't.

:*:*:*:*:*:*:

I descend the stairs a basket of laundry on my hip. How could I sleep after what I had heard from my friends and Zach that evening? Seriously, who could? So many questions. At the moment my dad was sleeping like everyone else in Roseville. My dad. That brought questions to my mind.

But I could do some snooping while he slept. Get some answers. I put my laundry basket down at the bottom of stairs and headed towards my dad's office. A place where I was never allowed.

I opened the door into the dark room, fumbling for the light switch. Dang, Dad, I thought when I found it, revealing a mess. Papers where everywhere, and there were at least four different computer monitors.

I moved over to his desk and moved papers around. Most where written in foreign languages and rows of numbers. It made no sense. "What are you up too, Dad?" I muttered. Digger further I found a manila folder with my father's name on it. It was battered and old, extremely beat up.

I opened it to find pictures. There was me and then one of my mom. But the picture of my mom was different. She looked genuinely happy, not sick. She was with a man who looked just as happy as she did. But there was a giant red X through my mom's face.

I felt a lump form in my throat. I defiantly looked like my mom, but my face shape and my nose had the shape of the man on my mom's left. And it was not my dad.

When I thought I heard my dad's door open, I stuffed the pictures back in the folder and tucked the folder under my arm before hurrying out of the room.
