Only The Goode Spy Forever

Chapter 20: The Beach House

Chase had all of his bags packed and was eager to go home to his family. He told his roommates goodbye and headed for the front gates. He saw Abrielle at the front, sending people off. Chase stood next to her.

"Hey Goode," she said. He nodded to her. "Big plans?" Chase shook his head. He was no longer wearing his yellow jumper. He was in jeans and a hoodie. He threw on his all-black sunglasses and waited for his family to arrive.

When he saw the black Cadillac pull up it took all of his training not to run at it. One of the doors flew open and Anna came sprinting to him. Her curls were bouncing and her blue eyes were wide with excitement.

"Chase!" She screamed. She threw herself into her brothers arms. He picked her up and spun her around. Anna noticed how his arms had gotten noticeably bigger and his voice was even deeper.

"Hey Anna Banana," he said with a smile. Anna let out a sigh of relief. Chase was still the same amazing big brother they had left in September.

"Chase!" Riley shouted and let his little legs run to him. Chase hugged Riley. Cammie rushed out of the car and hugged her son. She had missed him like crazy.

"Are you okay? Do you like it here? Are you learning?" Cammie asked. Chase just smiled to his mother. Zach was busy getting Jaycee out of her car seat. Once he had, Jaycee ran as fast as her tiny legs could carry her. Chase picked her up and set her on his hip. She was throwing her head back giggling and her blonde pig tails were swaying.

Finally, Zach made his way to Chase. Zach embraced his son firmly. Chase finally felt more at home. He was enjoying the tender moment with his family until someone interrupted.

"Oh my gosh! Zachy is that you?" Abrielle shouted. Zach squinted at the sun.

"Abs?" He asked. She ran to Zach and kissed him on the lips. Zach pulled back in confusion. Cammie sent Abrielle a look that Chase was scared would kill her.

"How've you been? Oh my gosh your son looks so much like you! He's doing really well in school. No shock there, he takes after his father," Abrielle elbowed Zach. "Isn't thst right, stud?"

"Excuse me? Are you one of Chase's teachers? Or are you the male staff's entertainment on the weekend?" Cammie asked angrily. She was mad. Zach laughed, but quickly covered it up pretending he was coughing. Chase held his breath. Abrielle glared.

"I'll have you know I am a very important member of this faculty. They've created a new position just because I asked," Abrielle answered. She stuck her chin out. Chase tried not to snort.

"Abrielle is the counselor," he said, trying to hide his grin.

"I thought Blackthorne boys didn't talk about feelings," Cam muttered. Abrielle sharpened her glare. She grabbed Zach's arm.

"Some don't, but this one sure did back in the day," Abrielle said shooting a glance at Cam. "I was telling Chase how he must have his mother's lips because I would recognize yours anywhere."

"What?" Cammie exclaimed. Abrielle grinned. Zach went pale as he pulled away.

"Oh, he didn't tell you? Zach and I used to have a thing. You see, I was the only girl that was enrolled in Blackthorne. Zach was so sensitive back then. He told me all about his mother and how he thought he could be so much more. Well now look at you, you're a hero," Abrielle said patting Zach's head.

"Well, nice catching up with you. We really should be going. Bye now, Chase will see you in a couple weeks," Zach rushed. He was pushing his family in the car.

Cammie hardly said a word on the drive home. Zach spoke to Chase asking him questions. Chase wasn't worried about his parents quarrel that they would have later. His mother would understand. Spies have secrets, that's just the way it goes.
