Cross my heart and hope to spy

" I've always heard that the hardest thing for a spy isn't knowing things- it's acting like you don't know things you're not supposed to know" (Carter 152.

This quote is said by cammie after she hears somethings she isn't supposed to know. Cammie doesn't know who to tell or who to talk to after she hears this because one- she doesn't know if its code for something else 2- she doesn't know if it's true or not and 3- she doesn't know if it could hurt someone if she does tell someone. Even in real life it's hard to know whether you should tell a grown up or a person you trust something you over heard someone say or if you should just let it go and act like you never heard it in the first place. Sometimes in these kinds of situations you have to trust yourself and not tell anyone and just figure it out on your own. You will end up learning something about yourself and also possibly help other people. In the book cammie has to decide if she should let what she heard go or if she should explore and investigate it. Being a spy cammie of course decides to investigate the situation and learn about it further.
