Getting a little less filler (I hope!) and a little more rising action! Enjoy and Review pleeeeease!
After a nice walk by myself that night, I went back to my room. Our time here was limited. I wanted to enjoy this as long as I could. My feet were muffled by the carpet as I walked up to my room.
As I turned the handle, I looked down. There was a small piece of paper on the floor in front of the door. I picked it up and unfolded it.
How about a midnight stroll tomorrow night?
-Zach
It was printed on Evapo-paper. I crumbled it up and popped it into my mouth, then went into my room. I had a midnight rendezvous with Zach. I couldn't help smiling.
"What's got you all happy?" Bex said as I entered the room.
"Oh, nothing." I tried to say causally. "What's going on?" I saw Macey and Bex huddled around the computers.
"Hey Cam." I heard Liz say from the computer.
"Liz! How are you?" I said. I pulled up a chair and sat next to my friends.
"Good. But we have more pressing matters to address." Liz said. I looked at the screen.
It's been planted.
Good. Get out of there now, before anyone sees.
Roger.
*background noise*
Operation Switch is in effect.
The bait has been taken?
Affirmative.
Come on home operative.
"What's mission switch?" Macey asked.
"I don't know. But we have to find out." Bex said. I heard Liz furiously typing on her keyboard.
"Cross referencing operation switch on all databases and boards." Liz said.
"Anything Lizzy?" Bex asked impatiently.
"No! Nothing!" Liz said. She threw her hands in the air with frustration.
"Whatever it is, Will is bound to be a part of it. I'm sure of that. But keep looking Liz." I said, then went to consult the information we already knew.

Things We Already Knew:
A list my Cameron Morgan, Liz Sutton, Macey McHenry, and Bex Baxter.
There was a covert operation running without knowledge of the Olympics committee.
The operation was definitely being run by the Circle of Cavan.
The Circle had a new operative that is operative Goode's body double (well, except for the eyes.)
That operative is a little too fond of Gallagher Girls.
Plans of Action:
A: Confront the aforementioned operative and try to convince him what he is doing is wrong. Try to get information about future targets and current plans as well.
If plan A does not work:
B: The Kidnap and Question Method will always suffice. Lock the subject in a room with Rebecca Baxter for a few hours, then resort back to plan A.

"Why do I have to be bait again?" I asked. Macey and Bex we pushing me out of our apartment.
"Out of all of us, Will always comes back to you." Bex said.
"Wow. Déjà vu much?" I asked. It was just like the spring semester of our sophomore year. I was being sent to infiltrate a certain spy boy's world. And here I was, doing it all over again.
"Just go sit under one of those trees with your book and wait! Will is sure to show up." Macey said. She put a small butterfly hairclip in my hair. Liz had packed it in our bags before we left. She said it was a prototype camera and voice analyzer. She had invented it. And according to Macey, it was also a cute hairclip.
"Off you go!" Bex said. She pushed me out of the building's doors. I sighed and walked on. It was almost dinner time and I had forgotten to pack a snack. So I ended up sitting with a growling stomach.
It hadn't even been full five minutes before I heard, "Hey Cammie." Will came into view. He was carrying a bag of M&Ms.
"Oh, hey Will. How are you?" I asked, trying to keep my cool.
"Good. You?" He popped a candy into his mouth.
"Everything's just great." he smiled. "Can I sit?" before I could reply he had taken a seat right next to me. "What'cha reading?"
"Just some homework for one of my classes." I lied smoothly.
"Cool. Do you want one?" Will asked. He offered the candy bag to me.
"No thanks. I'm not hungry." My stomach made a couple of noises in protest.
There was an awkward silence.
"Ask him Chameleon!" I heard Bex said through our comms.
"So, Will."
"Yes, Cammie?" He looked at me.
"Do you know anything about the Circle being here? We have Intel that they have a secret mission going on. And we have reason to suspect that you-"
"Might be working for them?" Will said with a sigh. "Now why would you think that about me, Cammie? What have I done wrong to cause you to suspect such an appalling thing about me?"
"I don't know. I just thought-"
"Well I don't know anything about that." he said. Immediately I felt a slight buzz on the top of my head. He sounded very convincing to me, but just then, I knew he was lying.
The three of us had set a code word for when I knew he was lying.
"Ok. Ok. Sorry Will. I guess I'm just a little stressed about the whole thing. Would you like to come up stairs and get some dinner? Bex made some English Muffin Pizzas."
"On our way." I heard Macey say.
"I guess." Will said. "But you're still not totally forgiven!" he smiled a cheesy smile. I was puking on the inside. But I played it sweet as he gave me a hand up.
"Then what do I have to do to be totally forgiven?" I batted my eye lashes and played the "Teenage Girl" card.
"Hmm. I'll think about it." he placed his arm around my back and rested it on my hip. On the inside I was now screaming and throwing a puke fit. But I held it in and just smiled on, knowing that it would be totally worth it when Zach came to beat him up.
When we finally got into our room, he finally released me.
"You should go wash up." I told him sweetly.
"Alright. But don't miss me too much." he smiled.
"Oh, I won't." I muttered under my breath. He walked into our bathroom and shut the door. Macey quickly tied a rope from the knob of the bathroom to my closed door's knob. She winked. No way he was getting out of there.
"Cammie? What's up with the door? I think it's stuck!" I could hear Will yell from the inside of the bathroom.
"Oh! It gets kind of stuck sometime! Just try harder, Will!" I shouted through the door.
"Bex! Go!" I heard Macey say into her comms. I heard a slight thud and could imagine what was happening.
Bex had been hiding in the vent above the bathroom and waited for Macey to tell her it was time. She would jump down with her ropes and surprise Will. I heard some grunts. Now they would be fighting. I heard a whimper. Bex had probably tied him up.
"Ready Bex?" Macey called. Bex knocked on the door. Macey and I untied the ropes. Macey opened the door. Smoke filled the apartment. I coughed loudly.
"Bex? Macey?" I called through the smoke.
"Cam! I'm over here!" I heard Macey. We grabbed hands. "Bex?" Macey called. We heard some muffled cries. "Bex?" We found her, tied to a chair. But she was in the place Will was supposed to be. Macey took the gag out of her mouth and I turned on the bathroom fan.
"Where's Will?" I asked Bex. She coughed a few times.
"He's with them, Cam. Will is definitely working for the circle." she coughed again and untied the rest of the ropes.
"I guess we can confirm him on our suspect list." Macey said.
Yes. We were sure Will was working for the circle now. Completely sure.
Any guess as to what shall happen next? (***I don't own anything in this story. Only Will even though I now hate him!***) Please Review:) Happy Summer!
