Return to Me

Chapter 7

~~~Zachary Goode~~~

The helicopter finally landed at the Italy airport. I jumped out first, showing them our fake passports. Then, I lead flagged down a cab, and told the driver, ‘To the Embassy.’

I know for a fact that the Ambassador is a member of the circle. There, we would break in, and go into the underground Italy headquarters of the Circle of Cavan.

Cammie’s mom begin distributing our spy equipments, and Liz is also giving out her high-tech prototypes. We put on our comms unit, and we put some guns, knives at our thigh, and at easily accessible places. We wore some bullet-proof jackets, courtesy of Liz. I insisted in taking one more, maybe Cammie may be in there, and she must wear one too. Liz just shrugged.

The cab eventually stopped at the Embassy. We decided to break into the Embassy.

‘One, two, three, action.’ I whispered as I stalked up to the front door.

‘Mr. Geiger?’ I addressed the ambassador as a guard stared at me. I cleared my throat. I spotted two guards behind her.

I muttered to my comms unit, calling Bex to shoot them first. I hear two shots, and they fell to the floor, dead.

The guard in front of me heard the shots, and somehow figured out that I am in intruder. I saw the realisation in his eyes as I lashed out, striking her in the face. He stumbled unconscious.

I put a napotine patch on the three guards’ forehead as we pointed guns at the doorway, itching closer and closer to danger in each step. But we’re spies, and we’re used to it.

We itched towards the door, our equipments ready. Suddenly, the door bursted open, and in walked ten guards. They were on guard, I guess, and were as startled as all of us. I didn’t hesitate a minute before tackling him, knocking him unconscious, Bex spinned a roundhouse kick, and knocked out two guards. Rachel and Abby, closely following me, lashed out and knocked two of them unconscious. Macey had one guard in a chokehold, and was interrogating him. ‘Where is Cammie?’ She asked. He didn’t answer. ‘Where could we know?’ This time he answered. Control room.

I think that whatever was behind that door must be something about Cammie. Maybe where she is, maybe she’s there. I was suddenly bursting with energy. I kicked two of them, added a punch to their heads as they slumped down. The other three came to attack me. Bex had one of them in a choke hold, and I believe he’s going to die. I waited for them to dash towards me, and ducked their kicks, attacking them from behind. I had two of them in a choke hold too, as they fell unconscious.

We put ten napotine patches on them as we continued heading to the control room or the cells, trying to find a clue to where Cammie was.

‘Liz, the control room.’ I asked Liz, as she began to ramble in some scientific language like ‘one slash floor room number 1568, seeing the tubes overhead and follow ahead…’ that no one understands.

‘Liz, English, please.’ Macey requested as Liz let out a frustrated sigh. ‘Go up to the first floor, it’s supposed to be on your left after 20 steps. Yes, go to the first floor, then turn right… turn left… turn right… walk into the hallway…turn left, there.’ We followed her guidance as she led us through the maze of hallways.

Before we went in the room, Liz added two more things that made me more cautious and furious. ‘Guys, there are three things I wanna add. One, the room is quite spacious, and there’s a meeting right now, people in the Italy headquarters. Not some world-side meetings, however. They have guns. Second, this I think Zach would be interested to know. Your mother, Catherine Goode, is in that room. Third, I love you guys, hope you guys a successful mission!’ Then the comms went silent.

I took a deep breath? Ready? I raised my eyebrows. They all nodded. I kicked open the door with all the strength I could muster. There’s about fifty of them. They were all alarmed.

I quickly began shooting. One down, two down, three down, four down, five down, six down, seven down, eight down, nine down, ten down… Then I saw a guy approaching me. I kicked him, and punched him squarely on the chest. He fell backwards a little before regaining his balance, and that’s all I needed. I punched his jaw and hit his head at the back. Then, three more guys approach me as I used a roundhouse kick and knocked three of them unconscious on the ground.

I saw Macey and Abby punching them in their private place, and when they’re regaining their balance, they knocked them unconscious. Bex and Rachel used a roundhouse kick and knocked them out. Then, they started shooting at agents in a distance.

I shot the man at a distance as they tried to approach me. Not to sound braggy or anything, but I have excellent aim. I shot twenty already.

Then, I felt a punch on my jaw. I felt pain as I stumbled backwards, and that is the worst decision I have ever made. He punched my head, and I felt dizziness. I saw Macey finishing off the last person as they stood beside a window, preparing to flee. Macey froze completely, since Catherine Goode was standing, gun pointing to Macey.

She was shooting when I slammed into her, and the gun fell from her hands. I grabbed it, and pointed it to her neck, ‘Tell me where Cammie is, or I would kill you.’

My evil mother just laughed. Yes, she laughed. Devilishly.

‘Oh, you wouldn’t kill your own mother, would you, Zachy-boy?’ I wanted to wipe that stupid grin off her face.

‘I would if she threatened my friend.’ I threatened her as she backed off. ‘Fine. I’ll tell you where Cammie is. She’s at the New York headquarters.’

I nodded. That makes some sense. I smiled. Then, I am thinking where’s the headquarters when suddenly the gun was knocked out of my hand. I fought back, punching and kicking everyone randomly. I shot three people, and they fell.

Then, my mother pointed a gun at my chest. I punched her as she shot me. I’m waiting for the impact, but it never came. The fact that I’m wearing a bullet-proof jacket saved me.

My mother stared at her gun, dumbfounded. ‘No, it couldn’t be. This gun is supposed to shoot through every bullet-proof jacket.’

I smirked. ‘Catherine Goode, you’re outdated then.’ I felt renewed of energy. I punched and kicked the one who held me in the face. Then, I tackled the person behind me. I saw Catherine Goode, my supposed mother, standing there smirking. ‘You have gotten good, Zachy.’ I wanted to punch her, but there’s too many people here.

A person kicked me in my private place. I felt pain, but I continued. Then, suddenly, I felt a punch to my back-brain, and I stumbled. The pain adding the dizziness was just too much.

I weakened slightly, as they attacked me. They continuously punched me as I struggled. At least when they all focused on me, the girls could escape. ‘Go.’ I said into the comms unit. They don’t need to be told twice.

I know I had been caught, but I know they would not kill me. They would just torture me a little. Not so horrible as Cammie, since I’m their leader’s son. The last thing I saw before I blacked out, was the girls climbing out the window, landing safely. Then, I felt darkness consume me as I sank into unconscious.

Please review and comment! Give me some ideas! Pretty please, with strawberries on top?! Also, I won't update till I'm satisfied with the outcome! At least comment a little! I really want to know what you guys think...
