Hey, sorry for not updating. This past week has been crazy (It was my Birthday after all ;) But here is the next chapter! Enjoy!


Silence.

The pounding noise of silence filled my ear drums.

No one moved.

No one spoke a word.

"We have to tell Abby." Bex finally said.

"No." I said, still thinking about what I had just read. My mind, trying to process what this meant.

"But Cam," Macey started.

"No, Mace. If Abby finds out, then she'll pull us out faster than Liz can solve a quadratic function in her sleep." (which would be really fast because, let's face it. Liz, is Liz)

"True." Bex said. She sat on the bed. "I just can't believe he was,"

"Is" I reminded her.

"Is. I can't believe he's working for her." she said.

"I know." I said joining her on the bed. "I didn't expect it either. But whatever they're planning, we're going to figure it out."

"Totally." Macey said.

Another bull's-eye to end the match.

Tina and Eva had had a perfect match. But their opponents, China, had won the Quarter Finals Match by five points.

"Eyeball." I heard Bex in my ear. She had a visual on the entire stadium.

"I have backup." Macey whispered. So I was the reserve. We scanned the entire crowd looking for anyone we recognized(aka: Will).

"Reserve." I heard someone say through my comms unit. I looked behind me and say Zach, standing there.

"Zach?" I asked.

"Spy." he said using his codename. I nodded with a smile. It really was him. "So how's everything going?" he asked.

"Oh, just peachy." I replied with a smile. "They lost."

"I saw." Zach said. "Any sign of anything?"

"No. Nothing."

"Well that's a good thing. You haven't even seen Will?"

"No." I said. Thankfully. I scanned the crowd. We stood in silence there for a while. We watched the competitors shake hands and then exit the stadium. It was a crushing defeat, but there was nothing anyone could do.

"Time to go home." Bex said. Zach and I headed toward the rendezvous point. We squeezed and weaved through the crowd. I felt someone tapping my shoulder. I looked back.

No one was there.

"What's wrong?" Zach asked when he saw me look back.

"I thought someone was tapping my shoulder." I said to him. Zach quickly looked around the crowd. I followed his gaze and saw a brown haired head, going against the crowd. "Zach!" I yelled as he followed the head. "Zach!" I got swept up in the crowd and couldn't follow him.

"Cam!" I heard Bex say. She grabbed my hand and pulled me out of the arena.

"Where's Zach?" Macey asked once we were out and away from the crowd.

"I told him I felt someone tap me on the shoulder. He turned around, and I'm guessing, he saw Will. Then he went after him and I couldn't catch up." I said.

We will, We will, Rock you!

We will, We will, Rock you!

We looked over at Bex who was rummaging through her bag.

"Sorry." she said. It was a totally serious moment and then we hear Bex's phone going off. "I set it up so that whenever we get feed from the comms, it would be sent to my phone in a text." She finally pulled the phone out. "I just really wish they would come sooner. An hour after they were said? That makes no sense." she went on.

"Bex, just read it." I said.

"Oh, right." she said. We sat down on a bench under a tree. "Going into the arena now; Good, make sure they don't see you. I think they might now more then we think; Roger;" she scrolled down on her iPhone. "There's a break. Probably means no one was talking. Anyways," she began again. "I see them; Good. Observe and report; She's with Zachary; I didn't expect anything different from him. When the match is over, try to get her alone; Okay." She looked up.

"Is that it?" Macey asked. Bex nodded.

"Well then," I sighed. "So it's official."

"The hot Zach double has gone to the dark side." Macey said simply. She crossed her long legs and leaned back.

"Should we wait for Zach to get back?" Bex asked. It was getting late and the sun was beginning to set.

"No." I said finally. "We should go back. I'm sure Zach will be fine." Did I just say that? Wow. I think that was the first time I made a good decision when it came to Zach. I knew he would want me to go back to the rooms and stay safe.

"Okay." Bex said. She called a taxi and we head for home (well, our temporary rooms.)

Waiting.

Waiting.

Intense Waiting.

The clock in our common room ticked.

There was a knock on the door. I sprung from my seat on the couch in my polka-dotted PJ's. I didn't even bother to peek through the peep hole before opening the door.

Zach was there. He was there with a black eye.

"Oh my gosh!" I said.

"What did you do?" Bex said. My roommates crowded around the door. Zach pushed past us and went to the freezer, where he pulled out an ice pack. He walked over to the couch, fell into it, and put the pack on his swelling eye.

"Zach!" I said. "What happened? Did you find Will? Did he do that to you?" Zach sighed.

"I'm fine, Gallagher Girl." he said. But I didn't believe it. "Do you really want to know?" he sighed. He sounded tired.

"Okay, okay."


Thanks for reading! Now could you please review and tell me how I'm doing? Thanks:)
