READ!
[A/N: Okay, I know you're confused and pissed that I deleted my 'Welcome to the Family' story. But I have a reason. That story wasn't going anywhere. I couldn't think of a good plot and the plot I had was too short. So I decided to start fresh with a brand new story. That's why I'll post the chapters sooner, just so you know that I have something planned out. I basically got this idea from an MsSailorman story. So credits to her. This whole story is Gwen's POV. Enjoy!]
Disclaimer- I don't own nothing! Story belong to Thegothchick67 and MsSailorman. I just wrote a DxG version of it :)
Chapter 1-
"Ms Knight, I don't think I can do that." Chief Chef said with a stern sorrow in his voice.
"Sir, please. I need this mission." I practically begged.
"It's too dangerous. You are barely qualified and this can be a matter of life and death. This mission will take lots of time, effort, skills and courage. I don't think you're professional enough and—"
"I took karate for 4 years, I'm qualified for martial arts, I've took acting classes since primary school, I've got a college degree in law and enforcement, I have a valid fake ID, I have/know every legal weapon to run this mission, and I've accomplished tons of cases before. I deserve this case!" I listed and tried my best to sound as professional as possible.
"I understand, Ms Knight. But all your cases were with minor hooligans breaking the usual laws. This is a whole squad of criminals and murderers who won't think twice before shooting a gun." He played back.
"Who are you thinking about sending then?" I asked as politely as possible.
"Heather." He simply answered. That got me creased.
"HEATHER?! WHY HEATHER?!" I yelled. He cleared his throat signalling for me to keep my voice down. "I mean...why heather?"
"She's a professional, she's done these cases before and I think she's the only one who can pull this off."
"Sir, I really need this case! This case means so much to me! It has sentimental values." I begged, hoping he will somehow cave in.
"What'd you mean 'Sentimental Values'?" he questioned with a raised eyebrow.
I let out a heavy sigh and a frown, looking at my feet.
"Last week...when the 241 Demolition Mafia violated our headquarters in central London, my best friend was there. He was holding the meeting for the Bradford V Bennett case when they attacked. He told everyone else to evacuate the building so everyone got away but..." I felt the tears start to build up in my eyes. "He couldn't make it..." I started to sob.
I looked up and saw the look on his face change form stern to concern.
"You're Cody Winchester's best friend?" he asked in shock. I simply nodded and sniffed. "Look, Raven, I know you're capable of doing this, but what will you're father say?"
My father, Stefan Knight, is the one in charge of the agency. And you can say he was a bit over-protective as well. Oh and he was also Chef's best friend.
"I'll talk to my dad about this later. I really need this case, chef. I mean chief!" I quickly corrected myself.
It was hard to compare chef and chief. Chef is my dad's best friend who would come over every Friday night to have a beer and watch football with my dad. Whereas, Chief was my boss, giving me orders and missions.
"I don't think this is the brightest of all ideas, Ms Knight."
"I know, sir. But I'm doing this for Cody. For his revenge. I know he'd want justice." I sighed and wiped my tears.
I heard chief sigh too.
"Alright, Raven. The case if yours."
At first I thought I was hearing things. I looked up at him with wide eyes and saw him smiling. This wasn't chief talking, this was Chef.
"You're serious?! Really?!" I asked/yelped and jumped on him with a hug. He hugged back for a second.
"Alright, alright. That's enough." and he was back to chief. I pulled away, not losing the huge grin plastered over my face. "Don't tell your father I gave you permission before he says yes, got it?" he scolded.
"I won't disappoint you, sir." I saluted and headed home, wanting to talk to my dad.
::At Home::
I use my spare key and entered my home. My house was more like a mini mansion. That's because dad is boss, so he gets more money than imaginable. But he's not a rich snob; we treat it like our home sweet home.
Anyways, I entered my home and saw dad in a black suit talking on the phone about some business case.
"No! No! No! You need to file the case! Judicial law is very complex therefore I need you to take over the Salvatore V Washington case. Yes. Okay. Email me the results. I'll be at the meeting. Alright." And he shut off his phone.
He looked up, saw me and immediately smiled.
"Hey kiddo. How was school?" he asked.
"I didn't go dad..." I said softly.
"Still upset about Cody?" he asked with a frown.
I sighed. "Yes...he was my best friend, dad..."
"I know, Rae. We're working on the case. I promise we'll get all of them under arrest. We're sending an agent over there to take over the case right as we're talking. Chief is taking over it." he smiled.
"Dad, about that... I need to talk to you..." I said with obvious anxiousness in my voice as I took a seat on the couch. He shortly followed and took a seat.
"What is it? You're not pregnant are you?" he asked with worried look on his face.
"What? NO! It's...um...about the case..."
"What about it?"
"I...I..." I took a deep breath. "Iwanttogoundercoveranddothemission," I said in a hurry, but not quick enough.
"You WHAT?!" he yelled. "No, sweetie, no. I can't let you do that." He said more calmly.
"I really want to do this, Dad. I think I'm capable enough." I said.
"No, you're not. You're just a child. This mission is dangerous. You're not going." he said in a stern tone.
"I'm not a child! I'm 19 years old for god sake! And this is about Cody, dad. I need to get integrity for Cody!" I felt the tears build up again.
"You're not going and that's that." He said and stood up off his seat.
"But I—"
"End of conversation."
"I AM NOT A BABY ANYMORE, DAD! I KNOW YOU LOVE ME BUT THIS IS TAKING THINGS TOO FAR! WHY CAN'T YOU TRUST ME FOR GOD SAKE?!" I yelled, crying loudly, and ran up the stairs to my room, slamming the door behind me.
I crashed on top of my bed and began sobbing on the pillow, filling it with tears and mascara.
"I wish you were here, Cody." I whimpered.
::1 Hour Later::
I heard a knock on my door.
"Go away!" I sobbed.
"Raven, open the door." I heard his voice.
I slowly got out of bed and went toward the door, taking slow and careful steps. My hands wrapped around the door knob and twisted it, opening the door.
Then I saw him, standing there, smiling, and alive.
"C-Cody?" I whimpered, tears filling my eyes again.
"Hey, Rae," he smiled. I tossed myself in his arms.
"I-I thought I'd never see you again!" I sobbed.
"Don't cry, babe. You know I don't like seeing you cry." He pulled away and wiped my tears.
Cody's always been there for me when I had an argument with my dad, He's always been capable of making me smile.
We walked into my room and sat on the bed.
"What's wrong now? Was it your dad again?" he asked with sorrow.
"Yes. He won't let me take over your case. He thinks it's too dangerous." I sniffed.
"You know he's right, don't you?" he asked, caressing my cheek.
"I know. But I want to do this for you. I won't stop until I find you justice."
"And that's why you're my best friend." He chuckled and hugged me.
"I don't want you to leave again, Cody."
"I know. But I'm not gone. I'm right with you. You just don't see me." He explained. "Rea, I need to tell you something..." he began.
"What is it?"I asked and pulled away from him. He had a sorrow filled look on his face which made me more worried.
"I—"
KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK!
The sound of knocking on my door woke me up from my dream...
It was a dream...
"Raven, open the door." I heard a man's voice say the exact same words from my dream.
I got up off my bed and slowly took steps towards the door, wide eyed, hoping that my dream would come true. My hands wrapped around the door knob and twisted it, making the door swing open, showing the last person I wanted to see right now.
"Pack your bags. You're going to New York." He said and exited the room, going downstairs. I followed him.
"What? Why?" I asked.
He got into the kitchen, making himself a cup of coffee.
"I'm assigning you the 241 Demolition Mafia case. You're going to go undercover in their habitat and discover all there is to know. You'll need to stay there for 1 month or more. I've already booked your plane ticket. You're flight leaves 8pm tomorrow night. I talked to chief and he wants you to go over there to collect the files and a few gadgets. And I also—"
I didn't let him finish. I leaped onto him, attacking him with a hug.
"Thank you, dad, I love you." I felt his arms wrap around me.
"I love you too, Rae," he hugged me back.
I was going undercover.
And I was going to get revenge for Cody's death.
[A/N: How was it? Good? Better than Welcome to the Family, or worse? Review and let me know. Did you guys like the whole CodyxGwen moment there? Just to clarify, they're best friends! Not lovers!]
