And then, when I get back, I'll have one day to rest, before going to Schlitterbahn with one of my friends. And then, the next day, I'm going to South Padre Island for fourth of July with said friend and two others and it will be the best. trip. EVER! Seriously, I'm so excited. I mean, spending 3 days, at the beach, with my 3 best friends in the world?! Yeah. My life rules.

REVIEW!

Cammie's POV

"Cammie, slow down. You aren't making any sense." Abby said, rubbing her temples in slow circular motions with her fingers.

"I swear it. Dad taught me all those lessons for a reason. He taught me all those lessons about keys and circles for a reason. He told me once that a key could unlock someone's deepest darkest secrets. What if he meant the Circle Of Cavan? I can destroy them, with this." I held up the thin chain with the key dangling from it for emphasis.

"Ok, first off, there's no guaranteeing your father was talking about the circle. Second, what are you going to do with a key? Somehow, I don't think the Circle of Cavan is just going to have a box labeled 'deepest darkest secrets' for you to unlock. And third, how could a secret destroy a terrorist organization?" We all turned in shock, to look at Preston. He was the last person any of us would have thought would say what everyone was thinking.

"You guys have to believe me, he was talking about the circle!" I looked desperately from face to face, but no one looked like they believed me, or would ever believe me. My eyes finally locked with Joe though, and I saw a spark. A spark of recognition.

"Joe. You understand now don't you?" I said in a low voice, trying to get him to realize what I'd been trying to explain too all of them, but not wanting to say out loud.

"No Cammie, don't say it-" His voice cracked and he wiped his hand underneath his eyes to stop tears from falling down.

"This is why they want me dead. We never knew before. Did we Abby?" I turned to face her and saw tears in her eyes as well.

"Squirt we thought-"

"NO! You didn't think! If you had thought then you would have realized that lying to me wasn't going to protect me!" I shouted at her, unable to remain calm any louder.

So far today, I've almost been killed by my ex, the one who killed my father, passed out twice, come up with a plan to break into Princeton, and come to a heart stopping realization about my father.

"Well it doesn't matter now Abby! BECAUSE I FIGURED IT ALL OUT!" I sat down on the chair behind me, holding my face in my hands. No one dared to move for an extremely tense 2 min 38 seconds.

I wiped my running nose on the back of my hand and blinked away my tears, trying not to completely fall apart.

"He's dead. They made Fernando kill him because he knew who they were. HE'S DEAD BECAUSE HE WAS PROTECTING ME!" I choked down the rest of the sobs, so I could continue.

"It's so like my father...He brought me into everything, by telling me about the key. Telling me about the Circle. Even if I didn't know what he was talking about. But he got in too deep, he figured out too much. He tried to protect me, he was careful... But they captured him, probably tortured him. Finally, they inflicted enough pain and damage too find out what he had told. Who he had told. Me. And when they figured that out, they killed him. And they're going to kill me too. Because I have this." I held up that stupid key, which no longer held the answer to my prayers. It was more like a key to my nightmares.

"As soon as I'm gone, no one will have the key to stopping the circle any longer."

And as I came to this realization, I also realized something else.

This plan had been set in motion years before.

Now all it needed was for someone to stop it.

Zach's POV

I moved to sit next to Cammie, and pulled her into my arms. I crushed her to my chest and held her there, rocking her gently and rubbing her head soothingly.

I ignored the quiet conversation, for the most part. I only started listening when they got to the important part.

"I-I don't understand... So, Matthew knew who the circle of cavan was? That's what he figured out?" Macey asked, softly though, so as not to startle Cammie, who was still crying in my arms.

"It was his last mission. He worked 12 years on it, starting when Cammie was born. His mission was to successfully find the names of the inner circle. The founders so to speak. The leaders. We never knew he had been training Cammie to take his place if he failed..." Abby paused, and motioned for Joe to continue.

"He must have figured it out, but as soon as he did...well. Like Cammie said, they captured him." It seemed to have dawned on no one the true importance of what Matthew had discovered.

"Guys. Matt discovered their names. Do you know what that means?" I was meant with blank stares from everyone but Abby and Joe. "I spent half of my childhood summers trying to figure out the names of the circle. I never figured out anything but Alias' and Covers. But if he found their real, true names... we could uncover those bastards for who they really are. Expose them. Make them wanted in every database on the planet. There would be nowhere to hide, and the circle would be destroyed. That key Cammie has, I have no idea what it unlocks, but I bet I know what's inside. The names of every Circle Of Cavan member in the world."

Anonymous POV

"Sir, Fernando he...well he failed Sir."

"What did you just say?" I demanded, whipping around to face the coward.

"He-he tried to attack the Morgan girl, but the Goode boy was with her. They took him down, and from the looks of things, she figured out he's with the circle. Or maybe she already knew I-I'm not sure. All I know is one minute, Fernando was with us in the square, the next, he's gone and all the Gallagher Girls and Blackthorne Boys have lost us. They just seemed to...vanish. I suppose some of her Chameleon rubbed off on them, eh?" He was trying too make light of the situation obviously.

I hate when people try to make light of the situation.

"DO NOT TURN THIS INTO ONE OF YOUR SILLY SCHOOLBOY JOKES!" I thundered, wanting to scare him enough he would never disrespect me like that again.

"Ye-yes sir." He stammered, straightening up and averting his gaze.

"Look me in the eyes when I'm talking to you!" I barked, unable to bear his weak posture any longer.

He slowly raised his eyes to meet mine, and I stared at him, long and hard, as if I were looking straight into his soul.

"What exactly has happened to Fernando?" I pressed my fingers together and raised my brows, waiting for an answer.

"He's been captured Sir. By the girl, Cameron."

Ahh Cameron dear, grown up a bit I see? Well, knowing your father, he would attempt something stupid like coming to Princeton, even if he's 99% sure the COC will be waiting for him.

Your father was a fool Cameron Morgan.

Let's hope the Morgans don't make the same mistakes twice.
