I am soooooo sorry for the 3 week hiatus. I blame college!
PS: I have put links on my profile so you can see the type of clothing Kota is wearing.
DAKOTA'S POV
I was one of very few to be let out into the world again. It was only allowed if you had complete control of yourself and they of you. But who said we had control?
Kota was sat inside a coffee shop with her partner just 10 minutes away from NCIS. She had her hair down and straight and it finished at the middle of her back. She wore a black leather jacket which hid her plain white t-shirt which only showed itself at the bottom. She was wearing dark blue skinny jeans and black boots that had a few buckles and fur on the top that also finished a couple of inches below her knees.
Her partner, number fourteen, looked alot like actor Colin Egglesfield. He was practically wearing the same thing as her only without the boots and skinny jeans. Fourteen took a sip of his coffee while Kota looked out the window to her right.
"Day one." She said. Fourteen put his cup down on the table.
"Yup." He replied. He looked down at his coffee cup. Fourteen was only 18 years old. He had been at the OS since he was eleven and was one of the favorites like Kota. They had been partners for 3 years now since there first assignment when he was fifteen and Kota twenty-one. Kota looked out for him more than he did for her. She was like an older sister to him and personally he was glad that he had someone to talk to as a friend while at the OS. He was like Kota, he wanted freedom. For him, Kota, and everyone else at the OS. They were probably the only two that did want it as the others seemed brainwashed.
Kota looked at him.
"It's a simple mission." She assured. He nodded.
""I know. I just wish that it could all stop one day." He said. Then he folded his arms on the table and looked at her. She just stared at him without blinking.
"It will. One day." She said softly.
"When it does...Where will you go?" She asked. He gave her a small smile.
"I'd go see the world...See what amazing and beautiful things I've missed." He replied.
"The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart." Kota simply said. Fourteen nodded.
"Yeah..." He said quietly.
"What about you?" He wondered. Kota shrugged. She looked out the window again and leaned back so she was up against the back of the seat.
"I'd go find my parents. They're out there, somewhere."
"Alive?" He asked. She looked at him.
"Alive." She decided to change the subject. They still had a couple of minutes before they had to leave.
"Do you remember your name yet?" Fourteen had completely forgotten his name when he was twelve and has been answering to 'Fourteen' since. Kota hadn't met him until they were put together.
He shook his head.
"No. How do you remember?"
"I say it in my head or out loud everyday and I've done that since Diego told me my new name was Thirteen." She said.
"That's how he controls you, by stealing your name. If you completely forget it you'll never find your way home." She continued. Fourteen sighed.
"Yeah well, lucky me." He then proceeded to get up. Kota's eyes followed his movements.
"Let's go." He said.
Kota and Fourteen had just left the Coffee Shop and were walking down the pathway when Kota's cell rang. She pulled it out of her pocket and saw that it was Diego.
"Sir." She answered.
"Hows the mission?" Diego asked. Kota stopped walking as did Fourteen.
"We're on our way now sir." She glanced at her 5'10ft high partner who was busy looking at the street.
"Make sure no one follows you Thirteen. You left half an hour ago, you should be done by now. It's a simple assignment." He said a little angry. Kota looked ahead at the passerby's.
"I know sir. But they weren't there so we decided to wait." She lied. Diego sighed.
"Very well. I don't care how you do it just get it done." With that he hung up. Kota sighed and put the phone in her pocket. Her partner looked at her.
"He mad?" She nodded.
"Oh yeah." They started walking again. The hotel they were headed for was just a five minute walk away from them.
"Keep your eye on everyone and every car. Make sure we're not being followed." She ordered.
"Got it." He looked at every face and car that passed. Occasionally looking behind him to check the cars coming the opposite direction. He noticed a black SUV coming towards them at a fast speed. The window rolled down and an automatic gun was pulled out. Fourteen's eyes widened.
"GET DOWN!" He yelled. Everyone around them heard him and suddenly started to duck like they've been in a situation like this before. Kota was about to turn around as soon as he yelled but Fourteen dragged her down behind a car as soon as the shooters started firing.
They could hear screams from all directions and glass was shattering everywhere they looked. They both kept their heads down. Until the firing stopped. This was their chance, or Kota's. Kota stood up with her gun drawn and started firing at the speeding car. She smashed the back window and made a few dents but that was about it. The car turned a corner and disappeared. She lowered her gun and stared at that corner.
"Fourteen." She called. When she got no answer she turned around and saw that he was lay on the ground while blood was seeping out of two bullet wounds, one just below his ribs and the other in his chest. She gasped.
"Fourteen!" She put her gun down and knelt beside him. She looked at the people staring at the scene.
"Call an ambulance!" She called desperately. One man pulled out his phone and started dialing. She turned back to her wounded partner.
"Your gonna be fine." She assured.
"Kota..." He choked out. She shook her head.
"Thirteen, my name is Thirteen and you know that."
"No, your name is Dakota...Don't let him...Control you. Remember?" He was right. She had forgotten for a second that her name was Dakota. He took a breath. he put her hand on his shoulder.
"I remember." She said softly.
"Don't forget." She shook her head.
"I won't, and you won't because your gonna live through this and we're gonna find YOUR name, ok?" She was trying to reassure him and herself.
"No. This is it...And you know it." He took another breath and closed his eyes. She started to panic.
"Hey, stay with me. Stay with me Fourteen." She said loudly. He opened his eyes. He looked at her.
"I remember..." He whispered. Kota's eyebrows furrowed. She was confused.
"Remember what?" She asked. He looked at her.
"My name...Justin." He took a shaky breath. She gave him a sad smile.
"Be strong Justin. Fight it. Fight it so you can be free. We will be free together. Then you can travel the world and see everything beautiful that you've missed." She said, desperately trying to keep him awake and alive.
"The most beautiful things...Cannot be seen or touched...They must be felt with the heart..." He recalled. Kota turned to the man who had called the ambulance.
"Where are the paramedics!" She asked angrily.
"They're 2 minutes away." He replied. She turned back to her dying friend.
"Justin, your gonna be ok." Justin used all the strength he had left. He lifted his hand up. Kota grabbed it and squeezed.
"Be free, Dakota Jenner. Live...Your life. This is your life. Choose to live it to the fullest. You're...In control...Be, in control." He was fading fast. Kota blinked. He took one final breath.
"You are...Operation Soldier." His hand went limp in Kota's. Kota stared at the now lifeless body of her now ex-partner. Her friend. Her brother. She let go of his hand and closed his eyes. She sat there for a few seconds. A crowd was forming. Sirens were heard. Dakota Jenner was angry. VERY angry.
"Goodbye. My friend...Justin." She looked up from her dead partner. She looked like she was about to cause a massacre. She grabbed her gun and stood up. She stepped over Justin's body and started walking. People moved out of her way, mostly because they were afraid of what she might do to them. She pulled her hood up to hide her face as a single tear made it's way down her face. She didn't even notice it. She forgot about the mission, she forgot about everything. There was only one thing on her mind. Vengeance. She was going to avenge all the men, women and children Diego made her and the others kill. She was going to avenge Justin.
She was going rogue.
DAKOTA'S POV
That goodbye was harder than I ever imagined. I'll never forget that boy. Why does it take a minute to say hello and forever to say goodbye?
