Cammie POV:
After leaving the Gallagher Academy, I went completely off the grid.
I needed to find answers. I needed to know why the Circle was after me. I needed to know what happened to my father.
While I was in New York, I spotted some CIA agents, who were most likely looking for me.
I also saw my roommates there. They were also looking for me, but I couldn't be found.
Not yet at least.
Being the Chameleon, I blended into crowds and went unnoticed by the agents and by my best friends.
After weaving my way through the groups of people, I thought I had made it out of there, without being noticed, but I was wrong.
I glanced at a window and noticed that a boy who looked around my age or possibly a bit older had been following me.
Panic arose in me, but I didn't dare to show my worry.
I continued to make my way through the crowd, and eventually lost him.
I made my way back to the alley where I had stored some of my belongings.
Everything was there, untouched.
I grabbed my backpack, and slipped back into the crowds, and then boarded a bus.
I took it until I was in a sketchy neighborhood.
Once I was there, I broke into a car, and drove off.
I drove for most of the night, only stopping to put some gas in the car, bathroom breaks, and to get some food.
Once I had reached North Carolina, seven hours later, I decided to get some actual sleep.
Carelessness lead to death in a spy's life. I couldn't afford to be sloppy, so I needed to sleep at least a few hours.
I checked into a sketchy motel, and made sure that no one would ever suspect this place.
I avoided the cameras in the lobby, and with a fake I.D. I checked in.
I decided to get back into the car and drive it somewhat far away from the motel, that way if someone did find it, they wouldn't trace it back to the motel.
Once I left it, being sure to wipe down any and all traces of myself, I walked back to the motel.
I showered and got ready for bed.
Light was pouring inside, but I still fell asleep.
I woke up a few hours later.
I decided to dye my hair, to further avoid detection.
After darkening my hair, I cleaned up.
I made sure that they could never trace beck the room to me.
I went to the front desk, and checked out.
I walked down the road for a little while, until I saw a car.
Checking my surroundings, and noticing that no one was looking, I slipped inside and drove off.
I continued to drive towards Florida.
This time, I was only able to drive for a few hours, until exhaustion hit me.
The lack of sleep was getting to me.
I decided that I should sleep a full night.
I left the car in some alley that had no cameras.
I was making my way toward a motel, when I noticed a park across the street.
I decided to walk through it. I couldn't help but notice all the happy families.
There were fathers and daughters playing together.
As I remembered my own father, I felt a tight pain in my chest.
Just as I was about to turn, a man bumped into me.
"Sorry" he muttered.
I kept walking.
I made my way toward the motel and checked in.
I got my room key, but instead of going directly to my room, I went to a liquor store across the street.
I bought some cereal, fruit, and a small carton of milk.
With my purchases in my hand, I made my way back to the motel and into my room.
I ate my cereal and my banana. Then I jumped into the shower.
As I was changing into my pajamas, I reached into Zach's jacket, the jacket I had been wearing earlier.
Until then, I hadn't noticed the small piece of paper in it.
I know who you are. Don't even think about running away. I need to talk to you.
Panic filled me as I realized I had been compromised.
I knew I couldn't stay any longer, I had to move on.
As I was putting on my regular clothes, I decided I would check out and continue on, I needed to put as much space as I could between me and this person.
I stood a moment longer in the bathroom.
Something seemed off.
It was too quiet.
I stepped out of the bathroom, ready to attack.
As I looked around the room, nothing seemed off.
But nothing is as it seems.
I stepped out, and took a few cautious steps forward.
I set my clothes down on the bed, and as I turned around, I saw someone who I thought I wouldn't see in a long time.
