Chapter 5~ Best friends & Tails
Alex POV
So with that we started our mission, by going to a coffee shop. We sat down at a table that was right next to a window, from the window we could see what was going on outside. After sitting for a while we decided to order some drinks. Let's see coffee or hot chocolate…hard choice…not really hot chocolate any day sir! So we got up and went to the counter. There was a teenage boy working, who kept looking over at Kenzie, and me! Kenzie thought it would be a great idea to flirt with him, so that we could get something free. Sigh…why does this always happen to me?
"Hey welcome to Rustic Moose. What can I do for you?" Asked the person who was working there.
"I'll have peppermint hot chocolate, please." Nate said stepping up to the counter to order.
"Can I have the hazelnut cappuccino" Dylan said. Gross coffee!
"May I have the caramel cappuccino" Zeze said while she tossed her hair over one shoulder. The dude started to drool a little, that is even grosser than coffee!
"Can I have the peppermint hot chocolate too?" I said just sounding like me, but he started to mess up our order a little…why would he do that?
"Dyl can we get some cinnamon rolls?" Zeze asked sounding hopeful.
"I don't know if I have enough money for that, sorry." Dylan replied sounding very sorry, but really he was just lying.
Random cashier person who works at the coffee shop POV
I hate my job! It is always the same. Old people come in and get regular coffee, and go sit and read. No cute girl comes in, and if they do what would they want with me? Nothing! I'm just a normal guy, who no one likes. Am I right or am I right? But my day just turned around. Four teens who look my age just walked in, and the good thing is, is that I do not know them. And two of them are HOT girls the others are to guys. They don't look to cozy, so this is a good thing. The two girls look like movie starts! I hope they come and order something before my shift is over! They walked up to the counter to order. Yes! I can take care of them! Man up close they look even hotter!
"Hey welcome to Rustic Moose. What can I do for you?" I asked them once they walked up to the counter.
"I'll have the peppermint chocolate please." The first guy ordered.
"Can I have the hazelnut cappuccino?" The other guy said.
"May I have the caramel cappuccino?" the first girl said. She had long dirty blond hair, and bright green eyes that lit up when she smiled. She flipped her hair over her shoulder when she finished. That may have made me drool a little.
"Can I have peppermint hot chocolate too?" The second girl ordered. She had long red hair with slight curlers in it, and shy blue eyes. Gosh both of these girls were making me loss my concentration, so I might have mess up their order when I was saying it to them to make sure I got it right.
"Dyl can we get cinnamon rolls?" asked Dirty blond. She sounded so hopeful, but Dyl turned her down saying that they didn't have enough money. The two girls sighed sadly and walked back to their seat. I knew I had to give them to two free cinnamon rolls. "What name do I put down?" I asked the two boys after they paid.
"Dylan" said Dyl.
They were waiting for the drink for a while, until I called them. They both walked up and grabbed the drinks. "Oh and here is a little something for those two lovely girls." I said handing them two cinnamon rolls. They thanked me and walked away. Right when they were walking away my shift ended, but I when I saw the two girl's eyes when they saw the cinnamon rolls it made my life all better, or you know my day.
Alex POV
Zeze and I went and sat down sighing while we walked away. Oh come on and give us some free cinnamon rolls random dude. I pleaded in my head. I was staring out of the window lost in my own thoughts that Nate had to shake me to bring me back to reality.
"Here is your liquid chocolate. It is mighty good if I do say, so myself." Nate said handing me my hot chocolate.
"Hey!' I said hitting him on the arm.
"I'm joking! Man for a girl you sure can hit hard!" Nate said rubbing his arm, acting like he's hurt. If that hurt him than he is a baby! "Well since you hurt me you don't get to have part of a cinnamon roll." He said taunting me.
"He gave us some for free!" I whispered/yelled. Zeze and I gave each other fist bumps. "If you give me some I will love you forever!" I said giving Nate my best puppy eyes. He handed me some laughing at me.
Zeze POV
Sitting here with the people I love I finally allow myself to smile. A real legit smile and not one of those fake ones you have on when you really aren't happy, but a real smile. I look over at the one person whom I love more than life, Dylan. I know what you must be thinking how can someone who is only 16 years old know what true love is? Well it is really simple actually…when you have been as close as I have to death; you come to find out what true love is. You may be wondering if Dyl loves me back, and say Ally said before we kind of have a thing going on.
Don't get me wrong I do not just go falling in love with all of the boys on my missions! Because I so do not! There is a story behind us.
~Flash Back Starts~
It was February 22, also known as my was a bright sunny day. What a great day for me to become a teenager, or so I thought. The day started out like every day, my mom yelling at me to get down stairs and make breakfast. Yeah what a great thing to wake up to, (Note the sarcasm) but today was different. Mom didn't call for me to come and make breakfast. I jumped for joy maybe she remembered that it was my birthday, my 13th. I being the spy that I am, I had to see if she was making me a cake or breakfast. I tip toed out of my room that was in the attic, I know so Cinderella, but not! I walked down the first flight of step, and on the second one you can look into the kitchen, so that is where I stopped. When I looked over the railing, I finally saw who my true parents were.
"If you don't tell us what we want we will kill you!" my mother yelled at someone, who was sitting on a kitchen chair.
"I don't know what you want!" the random person said back calmly. From now on I will call this person Jon. Mother pulled a knife out and held it next to Jon's neck. She also had a gun on table.
"Crystal you cannot use the gun. Mackenize is still asleep." My Father said just as calmly.
"Should I go make sure she is still sleeping?" My older sister said. What! She knew that my parents were assassins? Wait if she knew does that mean that she is with them? Is that why they got rid of Lea? (A/N hey so Lea's real name is Salina. And just so you know I don't come up with all of the random stuff by myself! My buddy I-am-bex helped me with all of the random stuff. She is amazing author! You should read some of what she writes! One that is probably my FVORTIE is Grandezza Academy for Young Men and Women Um…I think that is all…shhh do you hear that? That is the sound of the caterpillars! Save yourself! Save the ice cream! So if there is something you don't understand it is probably an inside jock between us….that reminds me if any of you want to put in a random comment just PM me, or you could review! Ok now on the story…..) They must want her to stay good, and not become like them. Then why did they want me to stay?
"I know. I know." My Mother snapped back. "Ok, let's try this again. Who are you working for?" she said with a sickly sweet voice.
"Like I'm going to tell you, the head of the COC, the beast assassin in the world! What are you smoking?!" Jon spat in her face. My mother slapped his face with all of her might. Let me tell you that hurts like crazy! Father stepped up and punched him in the gut.
"You are not allowed to treat my wife like that you *&$( )(* !Q *&*)!" Father said while punching him in the gut. I wanted to run down there and save him, but I knew if I tried anything they would kill me without a second thought.
"Why do you want to know who I work for?" Jon coughed.
"We want to know how hard it is going to be to get to the Solomon's, Smith's, and Morgan's. Now tell me or I will kill you." Mother said calmly.
"I would rather die than tell you &^*& ( &*^&%(, who I work for!" Jon yelled back. I took in a sharp breath, no one, and I mean NO ONE says that to my Mother! She smiled and stabbed Jon in the heart. Father hit him on the head with the butt of the gun. With that Jon was dead.
"Samantha pleas get rid of the body before your sister wakes up." Mother said cleaning off the knife on Jon's shirt. When I heard this I took it as my cue to go. As I went up to my room I thought about all that I saw, and I hit me my family is the head of the COC! And they were going after my best friends! I had to get out of here, and tell them what happened to day.
Once I got to my room I grabbed my backpack that I had packed already. I've been ready for a quick getaway, my whole like. It comes from being a spy. I cannot leave without telling them why otherwise they would think that I know about them, and I don't want that, or they would come and kill everyone I knew. I grabbed some paper and a pen and wrote:
Dear Crystal, Arthur, and Samantha,
Today is my 13th birthday. I know you never would know unless I told you now. I just wanted to let you know that I am running away.
Now before you go try to find me, let me tell you that I don't want you to find me. I'm going to go look for Lea. You know my little sister that you gave away. I want to live with her, and her family. They probably want call me "useless unwanted child" like y'all do. They hopefully won't beat me every night. I want someone to love me, unlike y'all do. Please do this one little thing for me; I'll never talk about you to anyone! What happened here will stay here.
If you let me go than you can have the family you wanted. With just Samantha, and no little wretch to get in your way of the life you wished you could have had. I will never come back or even talk about you. Please forget you ever had me as your daughter. I will forget about you and all you did to me.
Sincerely,
Mackenzie
Once I finished writing this it started to rain. I grabbed a sweatshirt and pulled down the sleeves to make sure it covered all of the cuts and bruises that my old family gave me. I didn't want to see them read my letter, so I left. I crawled out from my window, and ran.
Once I got to the train station, I hoped on a train, and went to Colorado. This is where Alex and Dylan were living. It took a while, since I was in Kansas at the moment. Once I got there I took a car, yes I might have stolen a car, but you did not hear that from me…They lived in town, but still had a lot of land and a forest behind their house. I ditched the car, and ran the last five miles to their house. It was around five in the afternoon when I got to their house. It was all dark inside, so I sat on the porch, and cried.
After a few minutes I felt some one pick me up and carry me inside. I heard Dylan trying to calm me down. After a few minutes my sobs turned into hiccups. I told Dylan everything that happened to me.
We sat in peaceful silence for a while, until he jumped and ran to the freezer yelling that he knew how to help me. I started to laugh. He pulled out a half gallons of Ben & Jerry's Mint Chocolate Chip ice cream. Mine and Ally's favorite ice cream ever! He brought some over to me, and we started to eat some. He put in Speed Racer, my favorite movie of all times! He put his arm around me, and held me close.
I might have been watching him, more than the movie. I was so confused. How could he be so nice, when he knew that my family was out to kill his family? Why did I have butterflies in my tummy when I am around him? Do I love him? The last question took me by surprise. But the more I thought about it the more I thought I did.
I turned back to the movie, but I was only half listening. I kept thinking about that last question. What should I do? I felt someone watching me, so I looked up. I looked right into Dylan's bright blue eyes. I couldn't pull myself away. The next thing I knew we were kissing! It was like fireworks were going off, it felt right. Everything was perfect. I knew right then and there that I loved him, and he loved me. When we pulled apart, we were both smiling like crazy. Dyl asked if I felt the same thing he did. I knew I couldn't trust my voice, so I kissed him back.
~Flash Back Ends~
When I heard what happened to Ally and Dyl, I looked myself in my room and cried. I had been staying at Nate's house. If you wanted to know, why I wasn't with them. I did find my sister, and I was right. The people she is living with are really nice, and yes they are spies. So sitting here now I allowed myself to smile for real, again.
Nate POV
When I saw Alex, my eyes almost popped out of my head. She looked gorgeous! Even if she doesn't think it herself, she is. When Kenzie and Alex her flirting with the casher, I wanted to punch his face in. he was looking at Alex like she was an object, and not a human. Is it natural to feel so protective of someone? When she said that she would love me forever, I wish so badly that she really meant those words. This may sound strange, but I love her. Don't get me wrong I don't go falling in love with every girl I see. Wow I sound like Zeze there…
~Flash Back Starts~
We were on a mission in Guadeloupe. It's an island in the Caribbean Sea, in case you didn't know that. The mission was simple get in, get the CD, and get out. If only it wen that way.
It was Dylan, Kenzie, Alex, and me. Our cover was that we were best friends, Dylan and Zeze were engaged to be married, and Alex and I were boyfriend and girlfriend. We were going to a ball at the suspect's house. It was easy Alex would dance with him, and Kenzie would get the CD, and then we would make our escape. We were on that beautiful island for a week, so we toured the island, and took to our cover as soon as we got off the plane. We had a blast walking around, and see all of the cool sites. We also got to swim in the ocean, and walk around on the beach, which let me tell looks amazing at night.
On the day of ball, Zeze took Ally shopping, and Dylan and I were not allowed to see them until we were about to leave. The ball was formal, so Dyl and I had on tuxedo. We were waiting in the living room, for the girls. When they came out it took our breath away. Zeze had on a huge smile, while Ally was glaring at her. Zeze had on a dark purple dress that when to the floor. It had diamonds along the neck line. Her hair was curled, and pulled up to the side. She had in a flower, made of diamonds, in her hair. She had on sparkly high heels. Ally's dress looked a lot like Zeze's except it was dark blue. Her hair was also curled, but instead of a flower she had a feather. She also had on sparkly high heels. That is when it clicked. Ally hates getting all dressed up, and on top of that she HATES high heel.
I smirked at her, and she glared like there was no tomorrow…which if we aren't carful there might not be a tomorrow…anyway back to reality. Dylan and Kenzie started to kiss, which made me and Alex gag. I put my arm around her waist to stick with our cover, but really I just wanted to hold her and tell her everything was going to be ok. Wow I'm getting soft…..
The ball was uninvent full until the last dance, when Steve, the suspect person, and the person who kept staring at Alex, came over and asked to dance with Alex. She smiled and went off with him. They started to talk, and he took her off to the patio. They had been out there for 12:32:48, when he came in alone. I started to freak out a little. "Mist do you copy?" I said into the comonunits. "Mystery? Are you there?" I said I just noticed that she was missing also. No! No! No! This can't be happing not here not now!
"Shadow are you ok?" Dylan said
"I'm good, Ghost. Do you see them?" I asked going into spy mode.
"The last thing I saw was Steve dancing with Mystery, and then they went to the patio and she never came back."
"What patio? Cause he just took Mist to the one by the punch table. And she still isn't back."
"Same one. He's over by the shrimp. I'll go talk to him, you look for the girls." Dyl said walking off. I went over to the patio, and went out. I looked around, and saw nothing. I started to go back, when I went to the railing and looked over. I saw Zeze lying on the sandy beach, with Ally right next to her. It didn't look like they were breathing, but it was late and dark. Also the tide was coming in so if we didn't get to them soon the water would cover them. It was already up to their ankles in a few minutes it would be up to their thighs.
"Ghost we need to leave right now!" I almost yelled.
"On my way." He said walking out of the house. I met him down by the end of the drive way. We started to run to the girls, only to find Steve and three of his body guards waiting for us.
"We didn't know if you would come back for your dead girls friends or not. We almost attacked him then, but that would be just what we wanted. "I'll give you thing those two put up one heck of a fight. If I wasn't part of the COC I would have had some fun with them. He smiled a perverted smile that made me want to kill him. "Now let's get this party started!" he yelled.
One of them attacked Dylan, but he ran and you should never do that. Dylan flipped him over, and they started to fight on the ground. Mine circled around me, before he attacked. He kicked at my head; I blocked and twisted his foot around, and pushed him. He got up and punched my face. Soon he had a broken nose, and my eye was black. He pulled out a knife and started to swing it around crazily. He got me on the arm twice. I kicked it out and quickly did a judo move on him, O-Goshi. Once he was on the ground I choked him out. I got up and saw that Dylan also had choked out his opponent. I took on the next one and Dylan went to Steve. I kicked him the stomach, and he was down. Ok it was a little more than that but you know whatever.
We ran over to the girls and pulled them up to dry land. We got them to the CIA hospital in America. We stayed with them until they woke up. When Alex did, she wouldn't let go of me she just cried about it. But you didn't here that form me.
~Flash Back End~
Now see I have a reason for falling in love with her, ok I didn't sound right. See on that mission I realized that I loved Alex. That mission took place last August, and now it is January, so what it has only been six months. The strange thing is when I gave her a hug today I felt some kind of concoction. I hope she self it too.
Alex POV
This is so boring! We have been sitting here for half an hour, and no one has found them! Well it was fun at first I saw sitting with my best friends, and someone whom I've had a HUGE crush on, Nate. I'm not going to go off in to any long flash back about how I fell in love with him or anything, but I will tell you this I think I might be in love with him, but you didn't hear that from me…but there is no way Nate could like me let alone love me, I'm just a plain Jane…
After a while of sitting there I finally jumped up and started to yell at everyone. "Oh my land! How can this even be humanly possible?"
"What?" Dylan asked me. He probably thought I was crazy. Wait I take that back he knows I'm crazy.
"No one has noticed them. I want to do something fun." I said as I sat back down. Kenzie suddenly got a mischievous look in her eyes.
"Oh great I know that look." Nate said shaking his head. "What's your idea?"
"Well since we want some fun, you two should go under cover with us." She said jumping up and down.
"Yes!" I yelled. "Hey Uncle Joey?" I asked him in my communist. "Can we have some fun?"
"What do you want to do?" He asked with a sigh. He was waiting for this to happen.
"Well Dylan and I want to go under cover with Zeze and Nate. Can we? Please? Pretty please with a caramel apple on top?" I asked in a little kid voice.
"First you have to describe each and every one of the 11 tails." I laughed.
"There is one with a pink jacket and yellow legging, one with a bright green shirt and red hat, one that has on long striped dress, one that has on a big yellow hat and a red shirt, one that has on a blue skirt and black top, one with a black shirt and a blue top, one has on a pink cover up, one with red high heels and a black dress, one with a yellow cover up, one with a long flowy flower shirt and a black top, and the last one has on a blue strip dress with black high heel. Why did they dress like that? Oh and they are all passing right in front of the coffee shop." I finished. Dylan was telling me some of them also.
"Ok you passed go have fun, but you have to do something will make them stop and look at y'all." Joe said before letting us go have our fun.
We walked out of the coffee shop wondering what to do. We first changed. It was simple, I put on a blond wig, and green contacts. I also grabbed some glasses. Dylan got a red wig and brown contacts. Zeze and Nate didn't change, since no one saw them. We were walking for a while when we saw some street performers. That is when we got the idea to sing/dance. "What should we sing" Kenzie asked me.
"I don't know what do you want to sing?" I asked
"I don't know what do you want to sing?" she asked
"Why do you ask me such hard questions!?" (A/N this is something I-am-bex and me came up late at night) I asked/ yelled. That made everyone laugh at me. Once we decided we made the boys go first.
(Normal Dylan) (Bold Nate) (Italics both) (Apologize by One Republic)
I'm holdin' on your rope,
Got me ten feet off the ground.
And I'm hearin' what you say,
But I just can't make a sound.
You tell me that you need me,
Then you go and cut me down...
But wait...
You tell me that you're sorry,
Didn't think I'd turn around...
And say...
That it's too late to apologize.
It's too late...
I said it's too late to apologize.
It's too late.
Yeah!
I'd take another chance,
Take a fall, take a shot for you.
I need you like a heart needs a beat,
But it's nothin' new, yeah!
I loved you with a fire red,
Now it's turnin' blue...
And you say...
Sorry, like an angel
Heaven let me think was you...
But I'm afraid...
It's too late to apologize.
It's too late.
I said it's too late to apologize.
It's too late.
Whoa!
It's too late to apologize.
It's too late.
I said it's too late to apologize.
It's too late.
I said it's too late to apologize, yeah!
I said it's too late to apologize, yeah!
I'm holdin' on your rope,
Got me ten feet off the ground
.
Once they finished the song there was a huge crowd, and yes everyone on the mission was watching us. I could tell that Bex and Zach thought that there was something strange going on. Then it was Kenzie's and mine turn to sing
(Normal Alex) (Bold Nate) (Italics both)(Trouble by Taylor Swift)
Once upon time
A few mistakes ago
I was in your sights
You got me alone
You found me
You found me
You found me
I guess you didn't care
And I guess I liked that
And when I fell hard
You took a step back
Without me, without me, without me
And he's long gone
When he's next to me
And I realize the blame is on me
Cause I knew you were trouble when you walked in
So shame on me now
Flew me to places i'd never been
So you put me down oh
I knew you were trouble when you walked in
So shame on me now
Flew me to places i'd never been
Now i'm lying on the cold hard ground
Oh, oh, trouble, trouble, trouble
Oh, oh, trouble, trouble, trouble
No apologies
He'll never see you cry
Pretend he doesn't know
That he's the reason why
You're drowning, you're drowning, you're drowningAnd I heard you moved on
From whispers on the street
A new notch in your belt
Is all I'll ever be
And now I see, now I see, now I see
He was long gone
When he met me
And I realize the joke is on me
I knew you were trouble when you walked in
So shame on me now
Flew me to places i'd never been
So you put me down oh
I knew you were trouble when you walked in
So shame on me now
Flew me to places i'd never been
Now i'm lying on the cold hard ground
Oh, oh, trouble, trouble, trouble
Oh, oh, trouble, trouble, trouble
When your sadest fear comes creeping in
That you never loved me or her or anyone or anything
Yeah
I knew you were trouble when you walked in
So shame on me now
Flew me to places i'd never been
So you put me down oh
I knew you were trouble when you walked in
So shame on me now
Flew me to places i'd never been
Now i'm lying on the cold hard ground
Oh, oh, trouble, trouble, trouble
Oh, oh, trouble, trouble, troubleI knew you were trouble when you walked in
Trouble, trouble, trouble
I knew you were trouble when you walked in
Trouble, trouble, trouble!
After our song everyone was wanting more, but we slipped off into to the crowd, and made it back to Joe before the other. We took off our wigs, and took out our contacts. We sat on a bench and waited. Once they came, Zeze and Nate left, but not after we gave them a huge.
"I am very upset with all of you!" Joe yelled at them "Only a few of you compromised the tails. But that is not all I threw in a twist for you to see if any of you could figure it out. Now who did?"
"Where is Alex and Dylan?" Bex and Zach asked at the same time. That is when it hit them. "They were singing weren't they!?" Bex asked with a smile.
"Good job Ms. Baxter and Mr. Goode you two were the only ones to get them." Joe said.
"We would have done better, but we didn't fell like changing our close." Dylan said walking up from behind them. That is when Grant noticed that who we were.
~Time Skip Dinner~
We all waited outside of the dining room for Joe's sign for us to come in. And by all of us I mean the 11 tail (I don't care about their names), Cammie, Liz, Macey, Bex, Dylan, Nate, Zeze, and me. Finally Joe told us to go in. we all had to give our names, and codenames. Nothing to exciting. But when I gave my code name all of the boys and girls were shocked, well so was I. I didn't know they knew my code name! But whatever. After we ate we (Liz, Jonas, Macey, Zach, Bex, Grant, Kenzie, Dylan, Nate, and me) were going to the girls' room to talk. But while we were walking I saw something that made me wonder. I saw Cammie walking into a passageway with some random boy, and they were holding hands. What is that all about?
I Hope you liked it! OK so if you read the part about Cammie, don't hate me! I know every one wants Cammie to be this perfect person, and what not, but i wanted this story to be different. so please don't hate me or the story...give it a chance! pretty please with your favorite ice cream on top...anyway i would like to know what you thought so review or PM me either is fine it will get to me...and if you read the one A/N that said if you want to put some random comment or something just tell me what you want to do by reviewing or PMing me. i'm not joking about this ok...ok YAY! i have school tomorrow...what? :)
