Don't deny it, just spy it

chapter 8

Cold.

That's all I can feel.

Cold air. Cold floor. Cold handcuffs.

Black.

That's all I can see.

Black blindfold. Black everywhere.

Words.

I can hear words, recorded words. An unrecognisable robot voice is being played asking rhetorical questions.

Where am I? Was I kidnapped? Would spynapped be a better word?

Suddenly the words being played to me made me snap my head in the direction of the recorded voice.

"Cameron Morgan, spy, Gallagher Academy, Friends: Rebecca, Macey and Elizabeth. Relationships: Josh: ex- boyfriend, Zach- current boyfriend.

"Now, now Cammie, you're slacking."

I have a feeling this is a very bad situation to be in. I hope Zach finds me soon...

And as if the recorded voice read my mind it answered...

"Yes, we hope Zach finds you too, as this is all a trap and you are the bait. Let's hope he doesn't take too long to find you."

When in doubt keep your mouth shut! The recording carried on playing, but I didn't speak. I didn't mutter under my breath or even think of anything.

Suddenly there came a knock on the door, and the door jiggled. Dammit It's locked. Now my only chance of being rescued is if one of my friends find me. Anyone else who comes close will just see an locked door and ignore it.

I need help and fast.

"Oh Cammie, Cammie, you didn't think we make it that easy to escape did you?" the recording spoke assuming I had somehow moved from the cold metal chair that I was tied to.

The room was becoming colder and I could feel that night had fell as the temperature had dropped about 100c since I got dressed this morning, now my high waisted shorts and flower kimono seemed like a bad choice of wardrobe.

It is about 11:30 in the evening and I can think of many more exciting things I could be doing right now, that doesn't involve being tied to a freezing cold metal chair.

Bang. I tried to cover my head as the sound of the door hitting the floor echoed around the empty room.

"Cam, are you in here?" the sound of my best friends voice seemed muffled as she shined her flashlight around the room.

The faint light stayed pointed at me as I heard her feet shuffling towards me.

"Bex, we have to be quick, all this is a trap, we need to get out of here, and find the other two, there's no one here now but there are cameras watching our every move." I spoke fast as she removed my blindfold and let it fall to the floor.

I watched as Bex took out a pen knife from her pocket and used it to cut the fabric binding my hands and feet to the metal frame.

I grabbed her hand and pulled her out of the room, her steps fell into perfect time with mine as we made our way to the other side of the school where the boy's dorm was located.

I knocked three times of the door before it was flung open and we were pulled in to the dimly lit room, to come face to face with two very tired, pissed off looking boys.

"What did you two lovely ladies want?" Grant spoke charming as ever.

I retold the story to the two boys who listened tentatively to every word I said.

"So we need to watch who we talk to, who we trust, and where we go. Oh and one last thing, always stay with another person, we don't know if they, whoever they are, will pull a stunt like that again." I finally finished speaking.

I moved towards the door and turned back towards the boys "Just remember to keep an eye out, we need to focus on this mission and we don't need any more kidnappings thank you very much! Now, goodnight, we shall see you boys tomorrow at breakfast."

Both Bex and I headed out the door and back to the comfort of our dorm room, finally I can lie in bed and get some well-earned rest. Tomorrow is a new day and hopefully I can stay away from any drama and just focus on this mission; I'm starting to miss the comfy, quiet corners I would hide in at the Gallagher academy.

I'm supposed to be Cammie the chameleon and so far I've attracted all the attention.

But right now, it's time for some rest.
