Hi everyone! I really hope you enjoy this first chapter. I'm going to just pick up where Ally Carter left her beautiful tale and I'm going to tell you what I (and others) think happened next.
Enjoy!
P.S. This story is going to be written from Cammie's POV but if you'd like to see the story through someone else's eyes, just review and let me know.
"Ms Morgan," Agent Townsend yells from below. "You're late."
"Sorry," I tell him. I hold up my report. "Almost finished," I say, but he doesn't care about the paperwork.
He nods towards the boy who looks like him. "We have a lead on a rogue asset out side of Kabul. CIA wants the two of you. If you have the time?" Townsend asks, almost condescendingly.
The boy looks at me and smiles. "What do you say, Gallagher Girl. Do you?"
I take the envelope from Townsend's hand.
"Let's go."
(1 day after they arrive home in the USA from Kabul, Afghanistan)
"I can't believe you actually tackled that guy Zach. I mean what did you think he was going to do to me?"
Zach huffed and stared at the ground. That was unusual for him but since we'd just had to sit in airport security for the last 5 hours, I let it pass.
"I didn't like the way he was looking at you Cammie. He was practically drooling all over the place." I love the way Zach gets all protective of me, don't get me wrong, but sometimes he can be a bit overdramatic.
"Zach...You know I can take care of myself, so why bother?" I loved asking him these kinds of questions. He always gave me this funny look that was a mix between confusion, mock hurt and something else I couldn't put my finger on.
"Because I love you that's why. I love my Gallagher Girl more than anything else, especially knowing what we've both been through." He'd said he loved me before but not like that. Never had he made me want to melt into his arms and ignore the rest of the world forever and stay in our own personal heaven.
I gasped a little and wrapped my arms around him, hugging him tightly around the neck.
"Okay, lovebirds. That's enough. Let's get you two home." I didn't let go of Zach but I did glance up to see the familiar sight of my mother and my ex-Cove Ops teacher/new step-father Joe Solomon walk towards us.
"Hey Mum," I said as I finally pulled away from Zach, which, to be honest, was almost physically painful for me. I could tell that Zach felt the same way as when I pulled away he firmly took my hand and picked up his bag in the other.
My mother smiled at me and Zach fondly. We smiled back as Mr Solomon - no - my dad picked up our other two bags.
He looked at us closely and asked, "So how was Kabul?"
Zach and I share a glance. We both say, "Shocking," in perfect unison. My mum and dad raise their eyebrows at us but say no more.
As always, there was a story behind that. And as always we weren't really allowed to tell them without risking national security.
But that's the life of a spy. That's my life. Because I am a Gallagher Girl.
Thanks for reading this everyone. I just wanted to do some ground work here and establish Cammie and Zach's relationship. Please let me know what you think. It would be ever so helpful. Thanks again and I hope you enjoyed this.
