Callie's POV
After the last guard was tranquilized and cuffed, I hurried out to wear Agent Gibbs and his team were waiting.
"All the guards are down and I heard everyone in the barracks. We're good to move in now." I leaned over to catch my breath.
"Now you need to put this on." Ziva handed me the protective vest and helped me strap it on.
"Okay, everyone listen up!" Gibbs yelled to the crowd of agents and soldiers. "I know that this seems off, but Callie here is in charge. You do not break formation without her say so. If she says stop, you stop and if she says go, you go. Get in formation and shut your mouths." He turned around to me and made sure my vest was tightly secured. "You ready kid?"
I nodded and zipped up my coat so the vest couldn't be seen. "Commander Doran is in her office so we won't have to worry about her. Okay, let's move out."
I walked up to the door with an army behind me. I punched in my code and led everyone inside. We walked past the first two guards who were still unconscious. We were just outside the doors to the barracks so I signaled behind me for everyone to wait where they were. I opened the doors and everyone inside snapped to attention.
"At ease, everyone." I searched the room for Jude and locked eyes with him when I found him. I scratched my forehead, giving the group the signal to surrender. They pulled their weapons out of their holsters and laid them on the ground. Then, they put their hands on their head and laid on their stomachs.
"Alpha, what the hell is going on?" Foxtrot, sixth in command, questioned.
"Shut your mouth Foxtrot. I did NOT give you permission to speak freely." I snapped at him. Foxtrot was always getting written up for insubordination. He didn't like the fact that he had to answer to a woman.
I drew my weapon and slowly backed up to push the doors open. Agents Gibbs, David, DiNozzo, and McGee entered first with their weapons drawn, followed by everyone else. Immediately, all of the New Intelligence agents drew their weapons and aimed them at the men and women behind me.
"Stand down everyone! Place your weapons on the ground and put your hands on your head. Do not move. Failure to comply will be met with serious complications." I commanded. The NI agents looked at each other and one-by-one started to surrender. Foxtrot, on the other hand, did not move an inch.
"Foxtrot! I said stand down! Put your weapon on the ground, now!" I aimed my weapon directly at the boy.
"You've betrayed us, Alpha! How dare you?!" He aimed his weapon at my chest and took two strides forward. "You are supposed to be our leader!"
"Evan, I do not want to hurt you. You know that I will fire this weapon on you if I have to!" I pleaded with the young boy. He was fourteen years old and one of the best agents NI had. He looked at me with a completely shocked look when I used his real name.
"I am Foxtrot, not Evan! That name was put to rest when I was promoted to my command position. You should know that better than anyone, Alpha!" Evan moved closer.
"I am giving you one more chance to surrender!" I, too, took a step closer to my agent. He gripped his weapon tighter.
"I can't do that." His face softened, like it always did right before he fired his weapon. But, luckily, I was faster than him. I fired once and hit him in the shoulder. He screamed in pain and dropped his gun. Jude was right next to him and grabbed it before Evan could recuperate. He fell to the ground and gripped his injured shoulder tightly.
"Take those who are standing into custody." I holstered my weapon and began putting restraints on my agents. Jude gathered weapons and unloaded them into a bag. He secured them with zip ties and put them in a separate box.
"Those who were not in your surrender-group have been restrained and are now being taken to the transport vehicles." Ziva rested a hand on my shoulder.
I stared off into space as those who I considered my brothers and sisters were led out of the building. "What is going to happen to them now?"
"They will be questioned and most likely taken to a secure facility." Ziva answered.
I wiped the tears from eyes. "Take those who surrendered to NCIS. I need to speak to all of them about something." I sighed and remembered that we still had to deal with Commander Doran. "Okay, we have to go to the Commander's office now. It would be best if it was just me, you, and the rest of your team."
Tony, Gibbs, McGee, and Ziva nodded and followed me down a long corridor that led to Doran's office. I knelt next to the door and pulled my laptop out of my bag. I knew she heard the gunshot and would be in the inner room. I hacked into her personal security system and unlocked the door that led to her office. Gibbs opened the door quickly and moved in to clear the room.
"It's clear." He whispered. "Is she in the inner room?"
I nodded and walked into her office. The safe in her wall was open and empty. She had her weapon on her. "It's completely soundproof. She can't hear anything we're saying."
"Shouldn't it be the other way around?" McGee questioned. "Shouldn't she be able to hear us and we not be able to hear what happens in that room?"
"Yeah, well the people who put her new office together screwed up and switched it by accident. They were supposed to come tomorrow and fix it." I explained. I walked over to the bookcase and pulled back a book that revealed a number pad. "Once I open this, I need you all to stay out of view. I can take her down by myself."
"How? Is she really that trusting of you?" Tony leaned against the wall and adjusted the wire in his ear.
"Well, she is either going to surrender or die." I quickly typed in her security code and the bookcase slid to the side. "Commander Doran! Please come out with your hands over your head! I do not want to hurt you!" I called into the small room.
"Alpha? What the hell is this?" She asked from the inside.
"Just please comply! You can walk out of here alive!" When I received no answer, I stepped into the opening and came face-to-face with Commander Doran. We fixed our weapons on each other.
"I had a feeling that you would never stay loyal to the agency. You and your piss-ant of a brother were too proud of this damn country! I should never have chosen two children from a military family. Look where it got me!" She stepped away from the back wall but kept her gun trained on my chest.
"I'm sorry, Commander. You have been so good to me over the past ten years. But, I love this country. I couldn't help you destroy it. Put your weapon on the ground and place your hands on top of your head. This ends today, ma'am."
"You're right. It does!" Commander Doran began firing shots at me. Three hit me in the chest, but were stopped by the bullet proof vest. The fourth hit me in my upper arm. I opened fire on her and put two in her chest and one in her head. Once she dropped to the ground, I collapsed. Gibbs rushed in and kicked the gun away from Doran's hand. He checked her pulse, but it was obvious that she was dead. Blood poured out of my arm and I wanted to scream in pain.
"Callie!" Ziva holstered her weapon and dropped down next to me. She put pressure on my wound and rested my head on her lap. "Callie, you need to keep your eyes open. Come on kid! Stay with me!"
"I'll be fine." My words were raspy and I know they were unconvincing. "It's just a flesh wound…" I closed my eyes and slipped into unconsciousness."
Sorry this chapter is so short! But, the raid of New Intelligence isn't supposed to be the meat of this story. I still really like this chapter though! I know that some of the names are weird: like Alpha, Bravo, and Foxtrot. But they are just part of the military alphabet. I'm going to post an informative chapter of things you may need to know to follow the story better.
