~In remembrance of all the victims in 9.11.01, to all of those who didn't get to say goodbye.~

(I know it's a day late, but I tried my hardest to get this out at least near it)

It's the last chapter! phew! (well technically it's the epilogue.. but that's still a chapter? yeah

Sorry if you didn't want me to kill Cammie... but I did :( SORRY.

You'll find out exactly what went on during her death though! (I find her rather heroic :D)

Enjoy.

ZACH

Zach walked slowly down the silent hallways. In his mind he wasn't sure how to do this.

Two hallways down turn right. Walk straight until you pass another three hallways and turn left.

After having gone over the it hundreds of times in his head before getting the courage to actually go there, it was no surprise he had memorized the path.

Here Zach faces the Wall. The Wall with its hundreds of stars. And he can see hers. Second row, 23rd from the left. It looked exactly like all the others surrounding it.

All the stars representing those who had fallen in their line of duty. Those who can't be named, even after their deaths to people without clearance for security reasons.

Zach hadn't brought any flowers - where would he have put them?- so he hoped that his tears would be enough.

"I miss her so much." a voice whispered from behind him.

Zach almost jumped up in shock and turned around to see none other than Anna Fetterman behind him, her eyes shimmering with tears.

"I need to talk to you Zach." she said.

"Why? " Zach asked her. What was so important she was interrupting him here and now?

"I need to talk to you about Cammie."

Zach froze. He simply gestured for her to keep talking, not trusting his voice. Anna took a deep breath.

"I was doing an op undercover in the Ring of Ashton. I was on guard duty, and I saw her. It was hard to communicate. We were watched 24/7 by security cameras. Eventually we came up with a system of taps, knocks, and occasional scribbled words. She told me how she got there, and I told her what the Ring was up to. Then she told me her plan."

Zach noticed Anna had to stop here due to the fact she was crying so hard. Zach wasn't sure what to do, so he just continued standing there.

"One day I slipped her a tiny gun like she asked, it was risky but we didn't get caught. It was 3 days before the Auction."

"The Auction?" Zach asked.

"Oh right, I forgot you didn't know," Anna sounded more like she didn't want to explain to him what it was, "they were auctioning off the right to kill Cammie, all of her biggest enemies would be there which means all the largest terrorist groups and mobsters would be there. She told me to set up explosives all around the building and inside the chandelier on the ceiling. Just like Sublevel Two, she said."

Just like Sublevel Two… Zach knew where she got the idea, and he knew what would happen next.

"No…. Cammie wouldn't!"

Anna looked at him sadly.

"But she did. She told me she would get out in time. That she would make it, and I believed her. I programmed the chains to unlock and she took out the gun… and she shot it Zach. She shot it straight up in the air at the chandelier where the explosives were. I waited outside. I waited for her to come outside. And I saw you. I saw Liz, Bex, Macey, Grant, and Jonas too. And I cried."

Anna was on her floor sobbing her heart out and Zach moved to comfort her.

"She told me to tell you something Zach. You know the necklace she gave you?"

Zach nodded and lifted it up to show her.

"Press the heart Zach. It should become a key. It opens something she left in her office at Gallagher. She wouldn't tell me what, but its really important Zach. At night when she thought I was asleep she would mutter the same thing over and over again.

The heart is the key. Find it Zach.. Find my heart."

Zach nodded. He started to run towards the door and head for Gallagher when he paused and looked back at Anna.

"Thanks Anna. It wasn't your fault." he said softly.

She nodded back at him looking more at peace. They both knew that they both felt responsible for Cammie's death.

Zach reached the sacred place that was Cammie's office. From what he knew, nobody had ever been allowed inside her office, and nobody had tried after her death.

He took a deep breath and put his finger on the fingerprint scanner and was only half-surprised when it worked. It then asked for a four digit code.

Knowing Cammie well enough, he entered 1119. It worked. How cliché of Cammie to use her father's birthday he mused sadly.

Cammie's office was stunning. It had beanbag chairs in the corner like her room at Gallagher did once upon a time before Macey came. It was painted a light purple and framed on her walls were pictures of her loved ones.

There were pictures of her with her roommates Liz, Bex, and Macey, with her parents Rachel and Matthew, and with her daughter Angelina, and finally Zach saw himself.

Zach teared up because no one could see him in Cammie's office, not that it mattered much that they saw him crying over Cammie anyways.

She was laughing in all the pictures except for his. He stared at her radiant smile and felt almost nostalgic. Pictures of her and her father only when she was little, and pictures of her and Lina only when she was older, Zach could almost see all the happiest moments in her life frozen in those pictures.

The picture of Zach and Cammie was probably one that described their relationship best. It was taken after they graduated and started working in the CIA but before their first mission.

Cammie had been trying to subtly ask him what he wanted for his birthday and Zach had answered in short cryptic phrases. In the picture Zach had a huge smirk plastered on his face, and Cammie had still managed to look like an angel while slapping him and looking highly annoyed.

Zach smiled at the memory and started to look for whatever Cammie had wanted him to find. After looking through countless planned CoveOps lessons and mission folders, he finally found what he was looking for.

It was a heart shaped box with the same design as the necklace Zach held in his hands. There was a hole obviously where the necklace was supposed to fit in the box.

Zach took the necklace out with shaky hands and placed it in the keyhole. The box hummed softly and clicked open to reveal a stack of DVDs, and the first one carefully labeled "Introduction - Zach"

Zach stared at it shocked. What could it be? He strode to the Cammie's computer where he put in the DVD and anticipated what was inside.

The computer hummed and Zach tapped his fingers impatiently on the desk. A video popped up on the computer screen and Zach nearly fell out of his chair.

Because on the screen was Cammie.

"Hi Zach." she said softly, "Well I guess if you're watching this, then I must be dead."

She said it so blatantly. Like she knew this would happen.

Why Cammie? Why?

"I guess you have a lot of questions huh."

Like you wouldn't believe.

"As I'm speaking to you now, I'm in my office. It's right after the mission with Chloe and Trevor. You know which one that is right?"

How could I forget?

"I almost died. I'm rethinking everything. What if I had died? That would have ruined the whole purpose of teaching. I can't leave Angel motherless. You and I both know the feeling of losing a parent."

But you did leave her motherless. You left me too.

"You see these DVDs? This is my safeguard. Now that I'm gone, you'll have to give her these when she misses me. You see each one? They're labeled for any and every possible thing that I can think of happening. And I know when it hurts."

Zach looked at the DVDs. There were ones for Lina's birthday, for Cammie's birthday, for Christmas, for Graduation, for boyfriend troubles, for her first mission, for her losses, and even for simple times when she missed Cammie. There must have been hundreds of the DVDs. When did Cammie have the time?

" But these are for you too Zach. Did we ever get our fairytale ending? Did I ever tell you I love you? Did I get to kiss you one last time?"

It was perfect Cammie. We were finally happy. We were going to be together forever and ever.

"I'm happy if we did. We would have gotten married eventually you know. I loved you that much. I needed you that much. You were mine and I was yours. Always. Chloe didn't matter. Elliot will never matter. We were meant for each other. But just in case we didn't, I love you Zach. I really do. I'm sorry. I'm really really sorry."

Sorry won't bring you back. Come back Cammie. Why did you have to go? I loved you too. You were my everything. You've left me empty now.

"You have to stay strong Zach. For Andrew and Angel. Or at least for me. I won't be able to die happy if you live in misery without me."

You're dead Cammie. You won't know if I'm in misery or not.

"Not be so technical on me Zachary. You know what I mean."

Zach couldn't help but smile just a bit at that. She knew him so well.

"You raise Angel up to be a good spy for me won't you Zach? I know you'll be the best father. Take care now. Until the next video. I love you Zachary Goode."

And the screen went blank.

Zach sat there numb, unable to get out of the seat. It wasn't until the video ended that Zach realized he was crying harder than ever.

Oh Cammie, he thought, you planned your death out all too nicely. How am I supposed to believe you were trying to survive.

But a spy knows that there's no such thing as happy endings,

All you can do is plan for the worst, and hope for the best.

Bad ending line? Probably. I'M FINALLY DONE WITH THE STORY! YAY!

So. In your reviews, please tell me your favorite and least favorite parts? Please? Of course things I should fix and blah blah blah.

And of course you should review in the first place. Please? With virtual sprinkles on top? Yeah thanks.

I'll start a new story soon... Not sure when I'll post in on fanfiction though. It's going to be called

Absence Makes the Spy Grow Stronger

I told you the summary earlier but I'm actually planning on changing it and putting it in a AU instead. Mostly cause the old one had almost no action in it. So yeah. Stay tuned for that one in a couple months or depending on when I actually have time to write!

Love you all :)
