A Summer for Spying Chapter 1

(A/N All rights to the Gallagher Series belong to Ally Carter. Most of the characters used in this story belong to her. I only own Aubrey and Blake. This story isn't after any particular book. So even if it is during a certain age, events from the book that would of come before that did not happen. This is after GG2 ,since it has Zammie in it. The entire story is in Cammie's POV)

"Kiddo, time to get up." I groaned and threw a pillow at my mother, but since I'm half asleep and my mother is a spy, and therefore knew what was coming, I missed. "Cam, get up.

We're going to be late. We have a flight to Nebraska to catch." I love seeing my grandparents in Nebraska, really I do, and my mom was coming with me this summer, which made it

even more awesome, but it was 9:30 in the morning on my first day of summer break. "Cam, do not make me get the ice water." I just groaned, suddenly I felt a stream of cold

water on my head. I shot up, "I'm up." My mom smiled and tossed some clothes at me, "Good. Now get dressed." I scrambled into my clothes, got my suitcase and walked to my

mother's office. She handed me a muffin, I eyed it warily. "Who cooked this?" My mom laughed, "Don't worry, it's premade. I just opened the box." I bit into it. My mom grabbed her

suitcase, "Finish it in the car. We need to leave for the airport now if we want to make the flight on time." I got my suitcase and followed her out to the limo. Having your cover as a

rich girl boarding school did have its advantages. We got to the airport and my mom handed me my boarding pass. "Can you go check us in while I get the duffels out of the car?"

"Sure thing mom." It was all fine until the guy checking us in started drooling when he saw my mother. Ick. The flight was comfortable, I did my best not to act surprised when I

figured out we were in first class. I figured it was just for our cover. The flight was comfortable. My mom looked as if she suddenly remembered something before the flight landed,

"Oh, I forgot to mention. Your cousin Aubrey will also be there this summer. You probably won't remember her, the last time you saw her was when you were 3. She's your age." I

nodded, "Okay." When we got to the baggage claim, I almost immediately spotted my grandparents. I started waving, "Grandma, Grandpa, over here." They walked up to us and

hugged my mom and me. When my Grandpa hugged me he slipped me a 20 and winked. "Don't tell your mother." My mom obviously knew, but she didn't show it. "Good to see you

again Bill. You too Sally." My grandma said "Same here," and hugged her. Suddenly a girl who I didn't recognize came up to them. She saw me and smiled, "Hi you must be Cammie.

I'm your cousin Aubrey. We're going to have like so much fun this summer." I smiled back, "Hey. I'm Cammie. Nice to meet you." The belt started moving, and my mom and I went to

go grab the luggage. When we got back Aubrey looked freaked. "What's wrong?" "I broke a nail. And I just got a manicure." I might be a spy in training, but it was still hard to feign

sympathy and not burst out laughing. "Oh, that's too bad." "I know, right." My mom and I picked up the bags again and walked to the truck. We tossed them in the flatbed, and

Aubrey and I climbed in after the bags. My mom and grandparents went to the cab of the truck. About half way back to the ranch Aubrey started shrieking. "What's wrong?" "Bug.

Get it off, get it off, get it off." It was just a fly. "Calm down, it's just a little fly." This didn't seem to make her feel better. "Gross." I flicked it off. "There, it's gone, calm down." She

stopped shrieking, "Thank you so much." "Your welcome." My phone rang, I looked at the caller ID, it was Bex. "Hey Bex. How's your break so far?" "Guess where my parent's are

taking me." Cairo?" "Nope." "Rome?" "No." "Johannesburg? Toronto? Madrid? Paris?" "Nope, nada, no and yes." "Let me guess, you'll spend half the time flirting with French guys?"

"Maybe. So how's your break?" "Well, we're in the truck right now. My mom made me get up at 9:30 this morning, and breakfast was actually edible, considering it was my mother

who got it. Thank you prepackaged food." Just then my phone beeped again, it was Macey. "Hang on Bex, it's Macey, I'm going to conference her in." "Save me, save me, save me."

"Macey, you've only been with your parents a day and a half, how are you already begging to be saved?" "You try spending a day and a half with the senator and his wife." Bex spoke

up, "Macey, think of it this way. You're in Milan, the fashion capital of the world." Macey snorted, "Yeah with my mother." "Macey, you're in a city with almost all the designer stores in

it and you have 15 credit cards in your possession. Spend all day shopping and eating gelato." "Do you know how fattening gelato is?" "Macey, I've seen you shop. You'll burn off all

the fat in no time." Bex spoke up, "I'm conferencing Liz in." Suddenly a "Hey y'all" came out of the speakers in my phone. "Hey Liz. How's your break?" "It's-ow- good." Bex sounded

incredulous, "Liz, have you already hurt yourself?" "Uh yes." Macey sighed, "Do we even want to know how you manage to hurt yourself in a day and a half?" "Probably not." My

mom gave me a "get off the phone" glare. "I have to go. My mom's giving me the 'get off the phone' glare. Talk to you later." I hung up. I looked over and Aubrey was texting.

"Sorry. It was my best friends/roommates." She looked up, "Roommates?" "Uh yeah I go to a boarding school." "Cool. Any cute guys?" "It's an all-girls boarding school." She gasped,

"That must be horrible. How do you survive with no guys?" I could see my mom squelching a smile in the cab. "It's not that bad, really. Guys aren't everything. And it's not like you

never see guys. We go out into town sometimes. Besides, you can learn more with no guys around." Aubrey looked at me like I was speaking in some foreign tongue, I went back

over what I just said in my head to make sure I wasn't speaking in Farsi or French or any other foreign language. Nope, I was speaking in plain English. "Who cares about learning?" I

think Liz would have a heart attack if she heard that. "Lot's of people. It's a very tough school." Just then the ranch came into view. I smiled and snapped a picture with my phone.
