Hide and Spy- Gallagher Girls FanFic

Chapter 41

Chapter 41

I don’t know how long I was out of it for but when I woke up I was in the room that reminded me of a prison cell. I shivered a little in my t-shirt, there were no windows in this room and the damp seemed to seep through the walls in to my bones.

I tried the door, locked. Frustrated I hit my fist on the door, angry that Zach had done this to me.

“Zachary Goode!” I banged my fists against the door again, “Let me out of here now!”

When there was no reply I turned and looked around the room, there was a folded note on the pillow my head had just been on. Still slightly angry I snatched the paper up and began to read.

Gallagher Girl,

I’m so sorry for doing this to you, when I collected my bag at the airport there was a note attached to it telling me I could get your parents and Abby if I followed some instructions. 

I would take you but you love your family too much and we both know that could make it dangerous for all of us (I’d never forgive myself if something happened to the baby now).

I’m sorry to have scared you and you have every right to hit me when I get back there but in the meantime please don’t do anything stupid.

I love you.

I walked back until my legs hit the edge of the bed and I sunk down on to it, tears stinging my eyes. 

He was risking his life (And my friends’) to save my family.

He’d knocked me out and locked me in here to keep me safe.

I could look at this in two ways-

He’s an idiot who thinks I’m stupid enough to put my emotions before a mission. He assumed that I wouldn’t go quietly when he asked me to stay put (Though I probably wouldn’t) 

In a weird kind of way it was one of the nicest things he could have done. In a bid to keep me and my family (And future cousin) safe he’d risked our relationship. I didn’t need telling now that his voice had broken when he was telling me he was sorry- it had been as hard for him to carry out the act as it was for me to be on the receiving end.

Yes I hated him right now, stupid idiot guy thinking he knows what’s best for me, but deep down I knew he was right and I knew I loved him for it. 

I swallowed and wiped my tears away, “You silly boy,” I sighed as I re-read the note, “Dad was right, you are overprotective.”

Things to do whilst locked in a room that closely resembles a jail cell-

Sleep- though there is only so much sleeping an operative can do before she is fully rested

Drink water- because even when you’re doing nothing it’s easy to become dehydrated.

Reread the note your boyfriend left you- yes I did that over fifty times.

I must’ve eventually fallen asleep again, but when I woke up there was the sound of a car engine stopping, door slamming and urgent muttering. I bit my lip and stayed as quiet as i could, praying it was friend rather that foe.
