Only The Goode Spy Forever

Chapter 98: The Meeting

("He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak." -Isaiah 40:29)

   "Cassie?" I called into the dark and empty room. "Cassie it's us. Are we at the right place?" Zach grabbed my hand protectively.
    "Hello, Cammie," Cassie said as she emerged from the shadows. She looked quite a bit like Bree, though Bree was in fact prettier. Still, Cassie had the same beautiful smile as Bree when she came to hug me.
   "Cassie is it even safe here? Does Interpol still use this base?" I asked as I pulled away.
   "It's long abandoned," she assured me. Cassie looked to Zach and smiled. "Hello, Zachary."
   "Cassie," Zach said with a nod. "Where's Parker?"
   "I'm afraid my husband is caught up with work and won't be able to make it. Don't worry, I have all the information you'll need," Cassie replied.
   "Spill it then," I said firmly. Cassie nodded.
   "As you know, Bree is the last female descendant of Regina O'Dare. The O'Dare's originate from Parker's side of the family. Parker's mother and her sisters' death was ruled an accident. Parker and I strongly believe that it was no accident. I believe that my mother-in-law Evelyn was involved in this madness. You see, Evelyn took us all to a small little home near her final days. She made it a point that Bree knew where it was. The thing is, when she died we checked her will and looked it up, but there were no records of an Evelyn Morrison having more than 1 house. This could be nothing, but I have a feeling it's something big," Cassie said.
   "Alright, we'll check it out," Zach said. "What's the address? We can figure out a time to go."
   "That's the problem," Cassie sighed. Her light British accent was full of sadness. "Evelyn was smart. She made sure that Parker and I knew it existed, but she also made sure we had no idea where it was. Bree is the only one who knows."
   "No way," I said. "Bree can not come with us. Everywhere she goes, danger follows. Taking her out of Gallagher is the worst thing we could do."
   "Oh Cammie please! This is Bree's destiny and it's Evelyn's legacy. Bree was meant to find it," Cassie begged.
   "Well then why don't you take her?" Zach asked.
   "I'm far too busy," Cassie replied with a wave of her hand.
   "You know what? You seem to be awfully busy all the time. Until this year, Bree hadn't seen you in years. Maybe you should take a little time off from your job and be a mom," I snapped. "Your daughter needs you." I expected Cassie to put up a fight and get angry.
   "I know," she said sadly. "I just don't know how I could ever make up for everything I've done to my poor daughter. I don't know that she'd ever forgive me. Believe me, I know I wouldn't get any award for being the best mum, but I just don't see how I could possibly make amends. How is my baby?"
   "She's okay, a little incident happened that she remembered. She really needs you for that. She needs her mother," I said.
   "That's why I'm glad she has you," Cassie said, putting a hand on my shoulder. "Please do this. It might be the only chance we have at saving her."
  "Chase will want to come too," Zach countered. "He won't leave her."
   "Good," Cassie stated. "I know he'll protect her at all costs."
   "Fine, we'll do it," I said after I had cocked my head at Zach. Cassie jumped and clapped.
   "Oh wonderful!" She cheered. "I'll be in touch to get the details."
   Zach and I nodded and turned to leave. I heard Cassies footsteps and turned as she embraced me with a tight hug. "And thank you."
