A/N:

Here is the second chapter to Broken :) hope you enjoy... Sorry it took half a lifetime to write, I got bored, and sidetracked...This chapter is going to be exceptionally boring until I get to the good part...Well you may not think it's boring.

Sorry if I highly offended the real Ingrid, but I doubt you have an ff, so SORRY if you do actually have one. I know you love me really ;)

Please review, because I'm special like that :) (remember five or more reviews and I shall update. Unless I get bored)

I was curled up in the sheets when I heard the gun shots. My eyes flew open as I sat up and glanced around the room. It took a minute for my eyes to remember where I was and adjust to the surroundings. The room was dark and the early morning sun did nothing to help with the gloom which had settled across the room.

Creeping towards the window I made sure not to wake the other three sleeping forms; I slowly pushed the window open and leant out as far as possible. A faint voice travelled on the wind.

"This is the Armed Defence Squad, you are surrounded. Put down your weapons and place your hands on your head, leave through the front door" The voice cackled.

"What's happening?" Rat asked stepping into place beside me, I jumped in fright and bashed my head on the window.

"Shhhii-oot!" I gasped stepping back and gently rubbing my head, there was another five gunshots and the same voice repeated the message.

"Sorry about giving you a jump" Rat said rubbing the sleep from the corners of his eyes, I twitched my nose in response and leant back out the window.

"It's a drug raid" I murmured before stepping back "That's South Auckland for you"

By nine in the morning we were driving out of Papakura and heading towards the motorway, as we left I watched the bushes and houses blur past. At one point as we neared a park there was a man doubled over on the path and further along there was a police man running along the cracked path, then nearing the entrance of the park a hooded man was vaulting over the fence.

"Wow, so much drama!" James cried gazing out the window and pressing his face to the glass.

"You know if the wind changes your face will get stuck like that" I said glancing in the mirror of the sun visor.

"Is there a toilet stop on this drive down? Or is it up?" Rat asked as we passed the Bombay hill service station.

"Rat!" I groaned putting my head in my hands. "That was the last service station! If we go the Matamata way there is a loo stop at a garden cafe thing but that is usually closed and the next toilet stop is in Matamata which is then only twenty minutes to Tauranga!"

"Well is there another way, with more toilet stops" Rat asked scowling at me.

"Well we could go the gorge way which passes through Waihi, which has nice scenery and such. Its usually quicker but seen as it's a Friday it will be well busy" I said putting my ipod ear phones in.

Rat grumbled unintellegnt somethings as I settled myself for the two hour drive.

By the time we got to Matamata Rat was bouncing up and down in his seat. We pulled into the public car park with the sign for Hobbition Tours. Rat practically flew out of the car and ran towards the public toilets; he came back quite quickly looking slightly depressed.

"They were locked" he mumbled sadly.

"Well why don't you pick the lock?" James said sitting up slightly straighter on the chair.

"No you can't they have CCTV cameras" I said "And plus wouldn't that look a bit suspicious?"

"Well I can go take a piss in the middle of a town though can I?" Rat said grumpily.

After a two hour drive I was bored stiff and my legs had gone to sleep. Rat managed to hold on until we got to the house, he flew out of the car while I managed to hobble out of the car and drag my suitcase up the concrete drive. The house we were staying in didn't look very homey; the red brick exterior gave it a harsh vibe. But once I was inside the two storey building it was rather homey, despite the very few furnishings scattered about the house.

"Right, here it goes. Dakota gets the room by the garage, Rat and James you get the master bedroom upstairs." Chloe said as she dumped her overnight bag by the door and walked into the kitchen.

I walked down the narrow corridor and to my room, it was little. A box to be exact with one bed, a desk under the window and a chest of drawers, the only upside was that I had my own bathroom. It was suspiciously small and I don't know how they managed to fit a shower, toilet and a sink in the small space.

After I had unpacked my belongings and set the room into some sort of order I opened the package with my uniform in it. The skirt I had to wear was blue and white with a quilted pattern; I knew I wasn't going to get along with Ingrid unless I did something to it.

Digging deep into the bottom draw of the desk I brought out a mini sewing kit and got to work on shortening the skirt. By the time dinner was ready the skirt was micro short, a bit like a belt. That is one of the upsides to missions; you can act like someone you would never be. Try out different cultures and dress in clothes you wouldn't usually pick.

Ingrid is part of the 'popular' crowd at Bethlehem College, which means lucky me. I am going to have to go around the school in high heels just to get along with her. I am not looking forward to that. Trust me.

I head downstairs to breakfast, the jet lag slowly starting to catch up with me. I wander into the kitchen and grab a slice of toast out of the toaster.

"Oi! That's mine!" Rat gasped.

"Oh shush you" I said taking a big bite out of the toast.

I walked into the dining room and sat down on the hard wooden chair, where I poured myself a cup of orange juice.

"Nice legs Costello!" James said giving my legs an approving glance, I rolled my eyes. Why in heavens name did Kerry go out with him?

"Chur bro!" I said, slipping into my kiwi accent and the slang which I silently hoped was still being used.

"Excuse me?"

"Its kiwi speech mate" Rat piped up.

"Oh" James said eating the last of his porridge.

By the time we were all ready to catch the bus Chloe came down stairs in her dressing gown to see us off.

"You aren't going to school dressed like that, are you Dakota?" Chloe asked eyeing my uniform. I glanced down at the short skirt and six inch heels which were already starting to hurt my feet.

"Yes, it's part of winning my asset over" I said, plus you aren't my mother I though as I slung my bag over my shoulder and walked out of the house.

"She didn't seem too happy by the way you were dressed" Rat noted as we neared the bus stop.

"No kidding" I sighed.

"Hey don't take your frustration out on me!"

"Whatever" I said. The bus drew to a halt before us and I got on, scanning the crowd of heads for Ingrid. She wasn't on the bus yet.

I took a seat near the back, and at the next stop a guy my age walked on, his uniform was recently ironed and his blonde hair fell into his blue eyes. He was cute. He must of felt my gaze because he came up to me.

"This seat taken?" he asked sitting himself down.

"Now it is" I said.

"You're new?"

"Obviously"

"My names Liam."

"Hi"

"Aren't you going to tell me your name?"

"Not really"

"Suit yourself" he said. "Oh, hey Ingrid!"

Ingrid walked up to us. Her brown hair fell in straight lines down to her hips, and her features were outlined by baby fat. Which was lie. I would say she was fat, overweight to polite.

"Hey Liam! Who's that?" she said sitting in the seat opposite to us.

"Not sure, but she's new!" he said glancing at me.

"Dakota" I said.

"So she has a name!" Liam gasped. I scowled at him.

"Nice to meet you Dakota, I'm Ingrid."

"Hey"

"Want us to show you round?" Liam asked.

"Sure" I said.

"Cool" Ingrid said, as she chatted away to Liam about how she went to Auckland to visit her grandparents.

The rest of the day was a blur, but at least I managed to befriend Ingrid. Her other friends seemed to approve the short skirt and heels. Ingrid's heels didn't do anything flattering to her legs. In fact they made them worse, I was just too polite to say anything.

"Ugh my feet kill!" I grumbled kicking my shoes off by the front door.

"How was your day!" Chloe called from the kitchen, I followed her voice and sat at the dinner table where she placed a steaming cup of tea before me.

"Good, I managed to befriend Ingrid. Now just got to protect her I guess."

"Very good! Where are the boys?"

"Oh there around somewhere"

"Lucy bloody well ignored me for the WHOLE day!" James groaned sitting down beside me.

"You did come on pretty strong though mate" Rat said.

"Yeah I know, but still! Who could resist me!" James said.

"Well I have." I said.

"You sure?" I looked at him, well I'm pretty sure.

"Yeah"

"I highly doubt it."

"Whatever."
