Prologue
The phone buzzed on her desk. She groaned and turned in her bed, but settled back again, when the phone stopped after just one buzz. Just a text. A few minutes later the phone buzzed again. ''Dammit'' She mumbled as she opened her eyes. The room was still dark, which meant it was still dark outside. She flipped the blankets from her and sat up. She rubbed her eyes and shivered as the only thing she wore was a tank top and pantie shorts.
Again a buzz. She growled and stood up and walked to her desk and grabbed her phone. She unlocked the screen and saw that all three texts were from Tess.
Tess: Yo, Cat. You still on for tonight?
Tess: Cat! Wake up!
Tess: You wake up in now and 5min. We're at the hideout
''Shit'' Cat mumbled, softly. She had forgotten they had agreed to meet with the group tonight. But her chores had worn her out and her nap had turned into asleep for hours. She quickly hit reply and sent a text back.
Cat: I'll be there in 20
She dropped her phone on the desk again and quickly changed into other clothes, throwing her sleepwear on her bed.
She put her long straight dark brown hair into pony tail hung over her shoulder and her chest, but a lock that was her side ward bangs, wasn't long enough, so it hand loose. It had a blue high light in it. She grabbed a gray/red cap and put her hair through it. Lastly she looked in the mirror to put on some mascara and eyeliner, but grimaced instead, when she saw the fading bruise on her cheek. Knowing it would still hurt, she resisted the urge to touch it out of reflex. ''Okay so no make up, tonight'' She said.
She looked down at herself. She wore a black jeans, whence she knew she could move easily in. She put on a clean red tank top and black hoodie. Nodding approvingly she turned and sat down on the bed, she grabbed her black with red sneakers from under her bed, finding her backpack with them. She put on her shoes and laced them first before putting the laces on the inside of her shoes.
Cat stood up and and grabbed her phone, checking the time. It was 1:17 am. She looked at her door, then to her window. What was safer to use this time? After a few moments she put her phone in her pocket and decided that the window was the better option.
Silently she unlocked it and opened it, making a face as the window creaked and squeaked. She looked down. Her bedroom was on the first floor, but the first floor was longer because the kitchen was build against it. She threw her backpack as far as she could and it landed at the on the empty street. Behind the building.
Then she easily climbed out of her window, walked over the roof of the kitchen. She calculated for a second before jumping down and landing with a parkour roll. Without pausing she started running, grabbing her bag and swinging it over her shoulders all the while.
She took off running, in the dark of the clear night. Though it was winter, it wasn't cold at all. Which she didn't mind. Snow wasn't good for the sport she practiced. Free running. Why did she do it? Because it helped getting rid of chasing cops.
...
10 minutes later she walked towards the edge woods. Everyone at her age would be scared to be in dark woods. She on the other hand, couldn't care less. She stopped running and started walking as she neared an (no longer) abandoned cabin. The lights were already on in it and she could hear the laughter from the distance. She shook her head as she opened the door.
There were three other people in the cabin. Two boys and another girl. They all had dark clothes on. All in dark jeans and a dark hoodie.
''There she is'' One of the boys said. He had light brown hair and brown eyes.
''Finally!'' The girl, Tess, said. She had blond hair, that was pulling into a bun and also green eyes.
The other boy on the other hand, came towards her and all but attacked her, crushing his lips on hers. both hands on the side of her head. Cat was surprise at first, but then kissed him back.
''Wow! Get a room, Wes'' The other boy shouted.
Wes pulled back and glared at his friend. ''Shut up, Zach''
Zach held his hands up in surrender, and Wes turned back at Cat. ''Hey, sexy'' He greeted her.
Cat rolled her eyes and pushed away. ''Hi'' She replied. ''So we're doing this or what?''
''Not yet'' Tess, grinned at her mischievous. She opened her own backpack and grabbed a bottle of vodka out of her bag, then a couple of redbull's. ''Who's up for a drink?''
''Jeez Tess, how'd managed that?'' Zach asked impressed
''I have my ways'' Tess said matter-of-factly.
''Uhu'' Cat said, not believing it for any second ''So how did you get away with buying it, Wes?''
Wes laughed at that and shook his head wondering how Cat had guessed that he had bought it and just put it in his little sister's bag.
Wes, or Wesley was 17 years old. He was blond, just like his little sister, who was just like Cat almost turning 15. His hair on the sides shorter and on top longer, styled forward and upwards with wax. His eyes were brown, almost black. Something that Cat really liked.
''Wonders of the fake I.D. Sweetie'' He stated, as he plopped down next to his sister and grabbed the bottle of vodka. Tess grabbed paper cups and handed them to her brother. He filled four of them one by one, with a shot of vodka, then added Red bull, until it was full.
Once everyone had, Cat plopped down on Wesley's lap and started drinking, but she didn't want to drink too much. For several reasons, but most importantly was that she didn't know if she was going to make a piece or not, later. If she was, then drinking wasn't good, because she couldn't focus or stabilize her hand, which would screw it up.
''How's the group home, Cat?'' Tess asked.
''More boring then it already was'' Cat stated, taking a gulp. What else was new? She hated it there. Just a fact.
''When can you go back to school?'' Tess asked further. ''Have to admit, it's boring without you''
''Tess, I wasn't there much, even when I was allowed'' Cat chuckled.
''True, but you know, they let Rick back in school'' Tess exclaimed, shocked. ''He was the one that started it. You just finished it. And with a good reason. Who hits a girl is such a pussy''
''It's one of the things that make you so sexy, Cat'' Wesley said, planting a kiss on her neck. ''Now I am the one that has to watch for my baby sis, which means I have to skip more classes then I already do''
Everyone chuckled.
''Yeah, but I still prefer Cat there. I mean, Wes,'' Tess chuckled sadly. ''You have the looks and the muscle and abbs, but you are a sucker in fighting'' She told her brother. ''So you have to come back, Cat!'' She then whined at friend and classmate.
''I'll think about it'' Thought she doubted it. She had something better to do than staying in that emotional wracking prison. Instead of saying that she took another gulp of her alcohol.
''Does anybody know if Herald is 'guarding' the auto dump?'' asked.
''Think he is'' Wes nodded. ''Why, do you want to go?''
Zach smirked. ''We haven't been there for a while. Can scare him a bit with new pieces on his cars''
''I really don't get why they get so mad about it'' Cat spoke up. ''I mean those cars are total, will not be used ever again and are just waiting there to be smashed. Why would he get mad at us for using them for practice?''
''The law is a weird thing'' Wes mused, downing his drink. ''What'ya say, sexy? Ready for some action?'' He asked, placing his hand on Cat's hip.
''Thought you would never asked'' Cat looked at him, waggling her eyebrows. Wes raised his eyebrows surprised and a grin spread on his face.
''Ew Gross!'' Tess exclaimed. ''Wes, I am very happy that you... you know, but it's my brother''
''I wouldn't mind knowing the details'' Zach stated.
''Yeah, we all know that, but I'm not telling'' Wes glared at him. Why did he keep having him around again?
They all took another drink, then called it quits on the drink, getting drunk was not their style... not always anyways.
After that Cat took the lead leading them to the car dump. She had been here hundreds of times. So much places you could make your piece on, while it was also a great place to practice parkour.
They walked towards it. Enjoying the empty streets. No one to mind with their business. To tell them what to do, or rather what they can't do. That was what 'Cat' loved the most. Just her and the streets, the silentness and only the sound of the wind breezing through the trees. She didn't care how cold it was. It was a lot better with Wesley there, though. And night like this, hanging out and making pieces she didn't mind either.
…
''Come on, Wes!'' Cat whined, while laughing about 20 minutes later. She had a spray can with black paint in her hand and a beginning on one of the cars, when she felt his arms come around her. ''I'm trying to make something here'' She added.
''I know, but we have plenty of time'' He said.
She didn't know where Zach and Tess ran off to, but she was sure Wesley knew, because he had given Zach annoyed looks and was although not the strongest guy she knew, but he was the most protective guy about his sister. She knew he wouldn't ever win one, but he wouldn't go down without a fight.
'Cat' was different than him. So much different. And that showed when suddenly spotlights went on and lit up the whole area.
''Shit!'' Wes and Cat both heard from the other side of the stack of totaled cars. It was Tess' voice and they both saw her frame running through the cars. Out of reflex they both pulled their hoods over their heads.
''Stop right there!'' ''Hold it!'' They heard and dogs barking.
''What the hell?'' Wesley hissed. ''Since when...?''
''And that's not Herald'' Cat confirmed, trying to keep the calm in her voice.
''Hey you!'' A voice behind them called out. Cat and Wes' head snapped up to meet a man at the end ot the path. ''Don't move!''
Even though they spotlights were on, between the cars it was still slightly darker and the man had his flashlight pointed at the two.
''Run!'' Cat stated and took off. Wesley behind her. He wasn't that fast though and she knew it. As she reached the fence, she saw that Tess had climbed over it already and run off down the street. Zach, though, was nowhere to be found. ''Hurry Lee!'' She waited on top of the fence. She called him 'Lee' so that they didn't know his name.
''I'm trying'' He looked back and saw that the guard who, he didn't know wasn't gaining up on him. Looking forward he saw Cat waiting for him on top of the fence.
But Cat already knew that this was going to be end bad, for him or her. As if it was on cue a dog came through the cars and attacks him, swinging him down with the force, just before he could grab onto the fence.
''Ah!'' Wesley cried out in more shock then pain, but without a second thought Cat jumped down on top of the dog, getting the animal's attention. Wesley scrambled upright again, but didn't have a clue of what to do. This had never happened before. Well not with him anyways. ''Cat!'' He looked back and the guard was almost there.
''Just stop, boy. You can't go anyway'' The guard said while running.
''Lee!'' Cat barked, while she grabbed onto the dog's fur as it wanted to lash out to her uhm... was he? Yeah she guessed she could call him that, boyfriend again. ''Climb the damned fence''
''But—'' Wesley, looked at her.
''No time. Just do it!'' Cat ordered. She growled when she saw him still hesitate. ''Now!''
'I'm sorry' Wesley mouth, a thought struck him and he grabbed her bag with stuff, then turned and began to climb the fence.
''The guard ran to get him, trusting the dog to keep Cat busy, but as he passed her, Cat let go of the dog, knowing the dog couldn't get to Wesley anymore, and she grabbed onto the guards ankle, stopping the guard. ''Lasciarlo solo'' She yelled.
''Let go of me, Kid'' The guard ordered. He heard a thud and as he looked up he saw the young man running away. He growled, irritated. ''Butch, quiet!'' It was then when he felt the grip on his ankle loosen and he looked down. The girl laid panting on the ground. He bend down and grabbed her by the back of her hoodie.
Cat struggled, but the guard was much bigger than the boys in her class. Plus he had her in a too good of a grip. The dog began to growl at her. But the guard shushed him again. He put the struggling hands in a grip and pulled her arm behind her back
''Tu mi stai facendo male!'' Cat, cried out. (You're hurting me!)
''Calm down, missy!'' The guard said pulling her with him.
''Lasciami andare, figlio di puttana! Giuro che ti ammazzo!'' Cat roared. (Let me go, Son of a Bitch! I swear I'll kill you!)
''I have no freaking clue of what you just said, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't nice'' The guard she nonchalantly, calmly. He looked down at her hands, they were covered in black paint. ''And I think we have one of the buggers that have been vandalizing our property'' The reached the container and Cat could see all sort of monitors.
''Fuck you! I didn't do anything!'' Cat protested lamely.
''Enough young lady!'' The guard barked. ''I'm calling the police and I will make sure they won't let it slide, because I'm pretty sure it's alcohol I smell on you''
Okay so this she hadn't planned on doing tonight or this week, this month. But then again, she already had a record for it and Wesley and the rest didn't.
…
2 weeks later
''Boss?'' Chris Waite spoke up as soon as he saw Tony come out of MTAC and decented the stairs. ''You're phone has been ringing on and off for a long time now'' The newest teammate told him. That had to be at least half an hour.
''And why didn't one of you pick it up then?'' Tony asked sternly. Glaring at Ziva and McGee too.
''Because when we do, you yell at us?'' Ziva replied to that.
Tony rolled his eyes. Again the phone rang and he picked up. ''DiNozzo!'' He snapped to the person on the other line.
''I'm very sorry, Mr. DiNozzo. If I'm interrupting you. You speak with Amanda White from Child Services''
Tony lowered himself slowly onto his seat as he listened to the woman talking.
So that's the into. I know it hadn't much NCIS characters in it, but it's just an into to introduce some of the new characters!
What do you think? Please review! Update after the weekend :)
