Bex

We were on our way to Paris. I sat in the co-pilot's seat staring at the bracelet Cammie had given me. Grant was staring at me. Before I knew what I was doing I started talking. " I should have expected it. I should have been ready. I thought I could handle this well and I thought I had learned from the last time she was missing. I always thought she'd be the one looking for me but that's not the way it works, now is it? I feel like she's alive though." I said. He nodded and held my hand. Then I heard it. "Bex, are you there?" I swear I heard Cammie say it. I told myself I was imagining things.

"Bex tell Liz to check the trackers." I still told myself I was imagining things. I put my head in my hands. "Grant, I think I'm going crazy I keep hearing Cammie's voice." I said. " Rebecca Grace Baxter are you back together with Grant?!" Cammie said. "Okay now I know I didn't think that." I said. "The bracelet." she said laughing. Just to make sure it was working I said "If Zach is there tell him he broke his promise, and I am going to kill him.". I heard her laugh and say "Tell Liz to tell you about the bracelets. Tell Macey to get hers off her ankle. So you and Grant, huh?" she said. Sometimes that woman really gets on my last nerve. " Shut up. Do you know where you are?" I said. "No. But they're taking care us, they want us to stay healthy. Why do you think that is." she asked. "Either you're not the target and they're going to use you as trap. Or you're going to be handed over to someone who will hurt you. I got to tell the others." I paused to see if she asked about 'the others' "I have a team. We're working on finding you." I walked out the door. "Elizabeth Sutton," Liz had a look of fear on her face as I used her first name. " Why didn't you tell me there was a tracking device and comms unit in our bracelets. Get your bracelet off your ankle Macey. I just communicated with Cam and she's safe. But she doesn't know where she is. Her captives are taking care of her which means she may be handed off or she isn't the target. Liz try to track her." I finished. She's okay. kept repeating in my head. Macey came up to me and hugged me " She's okay. Everything's going to be okay." I smiled. "That was for me, just agree." she said. " Well it was for the both of us, and it is so true. Liz, did you find her?" I asked. "Um we have a problem Bex. Who ever has them is good. I mean like really good. This person is like at my level. But not as good as Jonas, Layla, and me put together. If we work together, we can find them by morning." Liz said. I nodded trying to keep my head from blowing off. "Well then you guys get to work and the rest of us will go to bed. I'm waking you up at 6:30 a.m. so be ready. Crystal just to let you know I tell you three times and then I wake you up with other ways, when we find Cam ask her. Those ways are not nice." I said remembering the time I threw ice cold water on her. She was so mad. I smiled at the memory. I laid in the bed wide awake. I began to worry again. I decided to go check on Liz, Layla, and Jonas. There wasn't anybody by the computer when I went out there so I took a look. I started typing away at the computer. I some what knew what I was doing. Then it said "Signal Lost" so I began to quickly type at the computer. Nothing happened. I was more than mad now. I kept trying to get the signal back, but nothing changed. I finally gave into my anger, especially when I saw the spider. And before I could stop myself I smashed the computer to pieces. When I was done I was breathing heavily. I looked up to see everyone, except Grant, looking at me with concern. "My computer" Jonas muttered in shock. "I lost the signal, and there was a spider. Sorry, Jonas." I said. "I knew you were afraid of spiders. You didn't lose the correct one. You helped narrow down the actual location." Liz said now smiling. " You see, the smart jerk who's hiding Cammie is bouncing the trace so we think she's several places. I created the trackers to where they never go offline, I will always be able to track you." Liz finished. Jonas said a very unlike Jonas word and muttered in french "my woman." but no one said anything. "Bex, you think you can do what you did before again?" Liz asked pulling out more computers. "Yeah, sure. But no one tells Grant." everyone nodded Jonas now helping Liz and Layla bringing out more computers also. "How many computers do you have?!" every one besides the computer geeks asked. " All together ninety." Liz, Jonas, and Layla replied with smiles. By the time we had twenty-five fake locations down I felt my wrist viberate. "Bex, where is Joe?" I heard her ask. I pulled another computer up and tapped into the video feed I put on Joe's collar. He was still at Gallagher. "Still at Gallagher. Why?" I asked. Joe was the last person on Earth she should be worried about. "Joe's the target they want to lure him into a trap. Make sure Joe stays at Gallagher. And ask him who might want to hurt him. These people have enough skills to know that Zach and I are people who Joe cares about." she said. "Okay. Hey, Cam?" I asked. "Yeah?" she replied. "Do me a favor, stay safe." I said. "Ok. Bex, have you been crying?" she asked. My friends know me to well. "Cammie, I don't cry. But just so you know it's hard for me, not knowing that you're safe on a mission or safe at all. But you know, I guess that's good for Zach. Without knowing where he is, I can't kill him." I didn't want her to know I'd been crying, she would only feel guilty. "That's sweet, Baxter. For years I thought you were a guy." Zach said. I pretended not to hear it though and said "I got to go. By the way, tell Zach that I could kill him in his sleep if I really wanted too.". "Solomon." he answered. " Hey, it's Bex." I said. "We've been in contact with Cammie, she says that her captives want to lure you into a trap. They're perfectly fine. Do you know anyone who would want you dead?" I asked. " Rebecca, I am a hated man. I am wanted in several countries. And I'm even wanted in an underground town in England. I'm a dead man, Rebecca. LITERALLY! Of course I know many people who want me dead. I've lost count. Did you find out anything else?" he said. "No, we're working on tracking her at the moment. I got to go, bye. Make sure your wife hears the news." I said, then I hung up. We had gone to the hotel in Paris already, made Liz flirt with one of the nerds who hold all video records and got the footage. But when we looked at what was on the video, it was just them leaving. We got the exact room they were in but we didn't find anything. These guys are good. I thought as I stared at a picture in the room while sitting on the bed. "Bex, I don't care what your doing but we have news. Mr. Solomon has a daughter. And he has to speak to her." I heard Cammie say in her naturally clam voice. "Macey, Liz stay. The rest of you, GET OUT!!!" I yelled. Stoping what they were doing, they gave me a confused look. "Did I stutter? GET OUT!!!" I yelled again this time they did leave. "Cameron Ann Morgan, what do you mean Joseph Solomon has a kid?!" I asked. Macey and Liz looked at me in absolute horror. "Her name is Jessica. Her mother is Stephanie Johnson. They had a fling during one of their missions and he spared her life afterwards. I believe her, Bex." she said still calm. "Why does he have to speak to her?" I asked. "She's gonna give us information, in return she gets to talk to him." she paused " Bex, I promised." as soon as she said that everyone threw their heads back. "Cammie. You have to stop doing that!" I said. "Does he know?" Liz and Macey asked at the same time. " We're gonna find out." I said then left the room. "Get packed we're going back to Virginia." I said and walked back to the picture. I starred at it for another second. Something about it was off. I moved closer to it and pulled on the loose edge that was there. A letter fell on to the floor. It said:
