Chapter 9: Shocking discoveries
I stay in the bedroom just repacking my suitcase giving me something to do before having to head back into the room. I'm nervous about having kissed 2 boys in 10 minutes and my dad knowing about one and clearly understanding that there was some mess with the other. I walk back out to see everyone and I have my spy mask.
"Okay, everyone is here and I'm ready to start getting ready into what is such a big deal." I state to the group and we all go into the living room where there is a seat for everyone. Zach, Macey, Liz and Jonas all sit on a sofa, with Bex, Josh and Grant taking the other. Dad and I both take a dining room chair and sit on it.
"I think we need to get as much out in as little time as possible, organise some plans, places to go and then kick start the plan. Solomon is going to be here soon and its best if we are not here when he comes." Zach starts and we both nod. I decide that I should probably tell dad about mum first, even if I have no idea what to say and in the complete wrong setting.
"So Dad I don't really know how to say this and I'm really sorry I have to do it like this but if you are going to be in this group then we are going to need to know everyone's emotions." I look at him and he gives me a look to carry on. I let out a sigh and continue. "Yesterday we all saw something that I never expected. Mum and Solomon were caught… kissing. I don't really know how long this has been happening or why or when or how but I don't know what to do. I never expected this, I thought she loved you and yet she kisses him. Also, why is he kissing her? He's your best friend; your brother. There is a code. I wouldn't kiss Jonas so why should he be allowed to kiss mum. She's married and you have me; why daddy?" I look at him broken and I realise I need the comfort. I blink back the tears and my dad holds my hand.
"Okay Cammie I need you to listen closely and you all should probably know as well. Who's heard of Rochelle Evans?" We all gasp and nod apart from Josh. "Rochelle Evans was someone was famous for being the most wanted person in the spy world 25 years ago. She was part of the circle and she was known for stealing paintings, taking billions of dollars from banks and was never caught on any tape. Well you see; mum was Rochelle." Dad announces and we all turn completely un-spy and let out gasps.
"No shitting way!" Bex exclaims and dad almost lets up a small smile.
"Yeah it was a good story. One I've never got to tell before. Solomon and I were two of the best in the field, growing up in a tough school we were always given the most complicated missions as we had the background to complete it. We were given the task to kill Rochelle however neither of us never did. We both didn't follow missions and we always tried to make them good; we always worked well in a team. On this particular occasion Solomon went into enemy's territory and he ended up becoming high up in the circle. He managed to become friends with Rochelle and they bonded a lot. One night they kissed and that night he realised he needed to get out of the mission so he drugged her and kidnapped her that night. I had to lock her in a cell and I would spend most of my time with her while Solomon did everything else in the mission. She was angry at the start but she soon changed, mum had a bad life before and I don't think I could blame her for what she did. We ended up becoming close and one day when we both got drunk we kissed.
"I made your mother choose between the two of us when I told Solomon. Neither of us wanted to give her up. She chose me, said something about how I was the one with the pure heart and that was what she needed. Solomon ran and we changed all of Rochelle's documents. Your mum loved me. I'm never going to pretend she didn't however I wasn't her first love. She wanted me because I would keep her on the straight and narrow, where Solomon would have made her risk things. I don't want you to think we weren't as perfect as you thought we were. We both helped each other and when you came along it made everything worth it. I just want to explain that they probably reconnected after I left, and it went back to how it was before. They have a bond no one can understand and so I don't blame them at all and am not surprised." Daddy finishes what he is saying and we all have a minute of silence trying to process the biggest thing I have ever been told. My mum was one of the most wanted and evil people alive today. What makes it even weirder is how she has managed to run a school as successful and big as ours without being questioned on her background, clearly Zach was feeling the same way.
"I'm sorry sir but how did she manage to get away with it? She is in one of the most secure and well known spy schools in the world and she has managed to go undetected. I know you said she turned good but how was she ever trusted enough to be allowed to be head teacher, because if my mum decided that she was going to be a head teachers I wouldn't expect anyone to be on board with that idea." Zach almost looks worried that he said it until he sees my smile of encouragement.
"I understand where you are coming from but Cameron's mum and I were the best in the trade. We completed many missions and I knew she hadn't turned good but had simply accepted that being good was the best way to be. She was never evil but she just switched off her humanity switch because it was all she could think about doing. I would say I'm ashamed of this next bit but I'm not. We broke into the files and added Rachel Cameron into the file. First thing spy world needs to teach you is even when you are one of the good guys you will still do stuff to protect yourself against the government. Your mother hasn't ever done anything bad and so I don't regret anything."
"Cammie, your parents are such bad-asses!" Bex exclaims and we all burst out laughing. I give my dad a hug and then he goes serious.
"Right now that story time is over I need to talk about what's happening because we need to leave here just like Zach said. So I will start from the beginning for anyone who hasn't heard. I got kidnapped by the Circle, partly because of what I have and also because of revenge for kidnapping Rachel. In the diary it has lots of information about each of the circle. Names, appearances, crimes they have committed, family etc. Now I have kept it because some of them could always be like your mum. They want the diary so they are safer and it also has information about Rachel. If that got out then her reputation would be ruined and it could affect yours as well. I know it might not be that big of a deal but if you read what is in it then you would understand. Unfortunately I'm not going to show any of you. I don't really know where to put the diary and how to solve this situation." Dad confesses and I am shocked that he didn't know because he has always known. I rack my brains for ideas before it then clicks in my head.
"You won't ever get away from this. You will forever be on the run." I suddenly say and look at my daddy with hurt running through my eyes.
"Cammie," His voice breaks and tears come to my eyes. "All spies are on the run, we never want to be caught so I'm no different. I can't afford for you to get emotional with me right now Cam, I need us to think of a plan." He gives me his strong eyes and I let out a sniffle before going back to thinking. Then suddenly Grant grins and we all look at him.
"I think I have an idea." Grant tells us gleefully
*A/N: BE HAPPY I DIDN'T END IT HERE.
"Well hurry up then." Bex replies with a cheeky smile.
"So none of you actually know this but I have a secret home that I bought with my own money. Everyone stop looking at me like that, with the missions that I've done I got money and I knew with Zach's mum being who she is I thought I should save it just in case. It has all the things we will need and we can stay there until we figure something else out. I know it isn't exactly a solid plan but I really have no idea what we can do about the diary." Grant explains, sounding disappointed.
"That's a great idea Grant. Where is the house?" I ask gleefully.
"Well this may be a problem: Australia." He announces and we all look at him a little blankly
"We can deal with that. I reckon we all split up into 3 groups, a group as big as ours would look suspicious." I suggest and they all end up nodding.
"I think Grant, Cammie and Zach in one group. Bex, Macey and Josh in another; with Jonas, Liz and I being in the last group." Daddy declares and I'm confused at why he put me in a group with Zach, is that meant to mean something?
"That sounds okay Matt. Right all start packing, try and get some cars then all 3 groups head to different airports to try and get the same flight times, or as close as possible." Bex instructs and we are all about to leave before Liz calls us back.
"I have been working on something in the last few weeks. So I have these objects which look like hairpins and a compact mirror. They both are used together to try and contact all of the rest of the devices. I had made 4 so that the girls could use it." She passes them around the group before then letting out a small noise of excitement. "I almost forgot the greatest part. They are undetectable, even to each other so if they get lost no one can track the rest of us and they aren't picked up when looking for signals or when going under security." She looks so proud of herself and I admit she has gone above and beyond what any of us expect.
"That's phenomenal Elizabeth! I am so proud." My dad congratulates and gives her a hug.
"That's impossible though. With airport security it picks everything up." Josh tries to justify and Liz looks at him, trying to be as nice as possible.
"Second rule of spy world: Everything is possible; you just have to go searching for it." She states and the 4 girls share a look and smirk.
