Chapter 16
Cammie's POV
We both crawled along the passageway, me feeling incredibly conspicuous about the fact that he was looking at my butt the whole time. We crawled for about 100m until I came to a vent. I looked through and saw the boys. Nick was on a laptop editing all our covers, Jonas was getting tickets for us to the Mason Ball, and Grant and Zach were both lounging on separate sofas. Zach was right underneath the vent so without a second thought I punched the vent cover off and rolled out of the vent falling straight into his lap.
"Jesus Charlotte!" Zach screamed as I landed on him and I feel on the floor laughing. The other boys looked startled and Thomas quickly hopped out of the vent.
"We found another passage." Thomas said with a smile.
"Um, you mean I found another passage…!" I corrected him between laughs rolling my eyes at how lame this guy was.
I frowned but kept going, " Anyway, you need to come back. You girls need to do the final test this afternoon. Come on."
I nodded. "Bye guys, see you in a bit!" I called out as I left as they chorused, "byes" after me. Thomas led me back through the base. I made a mental map of the base as we walked through many corridors back and I noted lots of secret passageways.
Chloe pounced on us as soon as we got back, "Where did it go?" She demanded.
"Just to the den. Charlotte spoke to the newbie's." Thomas said offhandedly. I felt a very jealous stare from the girls but I knew it was all good natured.
"So, are we off to do the final test then?" I asked impatiently. I wanted this over so we could join the circle (yay!) and so we could hang out with the guys for as long as possible tonight.
Thomas became the leader over Chloe now. It seemed that this team didn't have a natural leader; whoever was the specialist took charge.
"Right, the final challenge is Cove-ops. One of you will stay here and arrange your comms and the rest of you will be in London. You will be confined to one area and all three of you; will have to avoid three of us, for 3 hours. If you see one of us, you compromise us and the two techies back here will pass on the message and you will return here. To succeed, you will have to avoid all three of us and compromise us all. To pass you have to have two of you not compromised and two of us compromised anything less, on you fail."
We all nodded understanding the game. Liz went with George, their techie back to the computer room and we all went out of the base. As we walked out I reminded Bex and Macey to stick to their cover names and codenames, (A/N just a reminder: Cammie = Charlotte, Gecko. Bex = Bailey, Countess. Macey = Megan, Swan. Liz = Lily, Eidetic)
We walked out into London and they led us to Camden, the area we were allowed in was four long streets creating a block around the main part of Camden Market. Macey's eyes lit up, I knew she was going to be shopping as part of her 'cover' whilst we were avoiding everyone.
We set off at 2:00pm. I walked straight away and headed to a food place. They would go out in 4 minutes so I quickly went to get lunch because I was starving! I walked out of the café and sat down on a bench whilst lots of people walked past and I casually ate my bagel whilst assessing the crowd. I couldn't see anyone.
I finished my bagel and threw away the wrapper ready to go looking now. I heard Macey in my ear.
"I think I may have seen Chloe by the stall with the ugly florescent tops" She said. I looked over to where she was thinking and I saw a tall blonde girl standing by it. But she was only tall because she had on wedges, and her accent was Irish, then finally she walked away from the store and engaged fully in a conversation between 4 other girls, it wasn't Chloe.
"False alarm Swan." I said.
We walked around for another 45 minutes looking at several leads and using lots of counter surveillance techniques. Finally I saw him. Chris was standing by a fast food place with a burger carefully surveying the crowd. I glanced down to look at a piece of Indian silk on a stall and spoke in my Comms,
"Chris is by the Burger King holding a burger, wearing blue jeans and a superdry shirt." I said. I could practically hear Liz grinning as she told George and Chris that he was compromised.
I made sure not to grin whilst it was broadcasted across the joint comms and I walked away from the silk stall and moved on looking at everyone's faces, looking for any disappointed expressions.
Two bad things: 1) no one looked depress 2) I saw Macey as she grinned. I prayed to God that no one from JATO had seen it as I went up to her and brushed past her and warned her.
But no sooner than that I heard, "Swan, you've been compromised. You're standing by a handbag stall and a girl just crashed into you." George said. I internally groaned and celebrated at the same time. They got Macey but they had no idea I had just crashed into her!
We'd been going for an hour and a half now. It was Bex and I, versus Chloe and Thomas. I knew Thomas would be hard so I was looking for Chloe. Although we couldn't succeed, we could still pass and getting Chloe would be the easiest way to do that.
"Ok Countess, look for Chloe, she's our best option, Eidetic, any leads through CCTV?" Liz had managed to hack into a bunch of CCTV and traffic cameras to help us look.
"There's a girl by a chocolate stall that I'm trying to see." Bex said
"Yeah there's also one crossing the level crossing." Liz added.
I glanced at both girls, "No, Bex wrong shoe size, Liz tiny hands! Like really tiny!"
I walked along a row of stalls and then I looked across to one with scarves on and I saw a boy looking. I know, a boy looking at a scarf stall? He looked distracted, preoccupied. I looked carefully and was about to ask other opinions but he looked up. I adjusted my gaze to a few centimeters to his left at a purple and blue swirly scarf.
I looked at me, then at the scarf. I walked over still looking at the scarf and clinging to my cover. My disguise was just a wig and contacts. No skin coating or face contour changing. I picked up the scarf and tried it on and looked in the stalls mirror. I saw him looking at me in the mirror and turned and snapped at him like a bratty teenage girl.
"Take a blood picture, it'll last longer." I said sarcastically in a British accent which (although I do say so myself) was amazing, you don't live with a proud Brit without picking up the accent!
He was still looking at me curiously but had to stick to a cover. He looked away muttering sorry then walked away. As he walked away, I turned back to the mirror then put the scarf up adjusting it and covering my mouth as I compromised him.
He turned around and stared straight back at me. He knew, but I was positive first! I winked at him then grabbed the scarf, paid for it and walked of clutching the bag.
We had 45 minutes left when Bex got Chloe. Bex had seen her gawking at Burberry, it was just out of the zone, so she couldn't go there, and her straining to see the displays from the other side of the street was a bit of a give away I guess!
I met up with Bex before we walked back to the base, as we reached the door. Bex called out our codenames as I put on my new scarf. We walked into the base and grinned. The boys had finished and everyone was gathered in the main JATO team room.
"Like my new scarf Thomas?" I asked innocently. Thomas practically growled, he has serious problems! Everyone else looked confused but Liz played some CCTV footage that had our little encounter on it. I smirked at him as everyone laughed.
Zach came to my side and hugged me smirking and whispered totally silently in my ear, "No one messes with a Gallagher Girl huh, especially not my Gallagher girl."
I smiled knowingly and leaned my head on his shoulder cuddling in, for once giving in to a bit of PDA.
