It seems like most of you are voting for option 1 so I'll gear the story in that direction. I did have a couple votes for option 3 so I think I'll add that in as well. Would you rather see the relationship be with Connor or Noah? I'd personally like to write Noah in since not a lot of stories are adding him, but whatever my readers want is what I'll do!

Callie's POV

A few days after I got approved my Dr. Rallings, we all sat around the table eating breakfast together. It was a Monday morning and everyone was dreading going to school or work. We barely talked all through breakfast.

"I have to get going. My first class starts in less than an hour and the bus ride alone takes 40 minutes." Jude stood and wiped his mouth with a napkin.

"Are you sure you're ready to go back buddy? It's only been two weeks…" Lena pulled Jude to the side but we could all hear them.

"I need to get out of this house. I can't just sit around here all day mulling over what happened. I'll be fine. I promise." He checked his watch and then quickly downed his orange juice. "I have to run to the bus stop. If I miss it, I'll be late to my first lecture. And I really don't want to be late on my first day back." Jude ran to the foyer to grab his bag and bounded out the door yelling goodbye as he went.

"I have to get going too. Gibbs called a staff meeting at 8:00 and I want to give myself extra time." I placed my plate in the sink and grabbed my bag from the side room. "Are you sure it's okay that I take the mini-cooper?"

"Yes, love. It's much easier for you to drive yourself than having to find rides. Everyone else can walk home from school. It's not a big deal at all." Stef walked over to me and handed me a thermos.

"Please don't tell me that's coffee!" Lena scolded from her seat.

"Of course not! Just some tea!" Stef answered but winked at me. "Have a good day, sweets. We'll see you at dinner." She gave me a quick kiss on the cheek and handed me the keys to the mini.

"Love you guys! I'll be back around 5:30!" I called as I raced out the door. It was already 7:20 and I was sure to hit traffic. Worrying I would miss the meeting, I sped down back roads instead of taking the highway. Luckily my plan worked and I got to NCIS at 7:45 sharp. I ran up the stairs to the conference room.

"You better suck that coffee down. This meeting is going to be long and boring." Tony leaned over to me and rolled his eyes.

Gibbs walked in the room and smacked DiNozzo on the back of the head. "You know, there is a way for you to get out of this meeting, Tony."

He sat up eagerly. "Yeah? What's that, boss?" Tony rubbed the back of his head as he spoke.

"Find a different job." Gibbs rarely made jokes but they were always hilarious when he did. "Let's get this thing started so we don't bore DiNozzo to death."

Four hours later

Jesus's POV

"Brandon! Brandon, hey wait up!" I called after my brother as he headed to lunch. "I was planning on heading into town for lunch. You down?"

Brandon closed his book and rolled his eyes. "You know we aren't allowed to leave school grounds for lunch. You've already been busted twice. If you get caught again you're going to get suspended. And that will just piss moms off."

"So I take that as a no?" I joked with Brandon. "Fine, I'll stay here and eat nasty egg salad sandwiches." Just as we sat down, the skies let loose and rain poured down on us. We quickly gathered our things and ran inside.

Everyone was crowding the hallways trying to stay dry from the storm. The winds were picking up and sheets of rain pelted the windows.

"Jesus!" Mariana's voice caught my attention. She pushed her way through swarms of students and finally made it to us. "Can I use your phone? Mine is dead and I need to call Callie. She's supposed to be bring my calculus book to me and I need to make sure she didn't forget."

I pulled my phone out of my pocket and handed it to my twin. "Are you sure she should be driving in this storm? It's getting pretty nasty out there."

"That's true. I'll just call her and tell her not to worry about it. I'm sure I can just borrow someone else's book." She put the phone up to her ear and plugged her other so she could hear better. "Hey, Callie! Don't worry about bringing my book to me. This storm is really intense. I don't want you to drive in it. … Okay, just pull up under the covered circle drive and I'll grab it from you." She handed the phone back to me and grabbed her bag. "She's almost here. I'm going to go get it. Thanks for letting me use your phone." She smiled and started pushing back through the crowds.

"This sucks. If the storm doesn't calm down by the time school is out they're going to make us stay until it's safe to drive." Brandon slumped down against the lockers and took a huge bite of his sandwich. "The last thing I want is to have to stay here any longer than necessary."

"Dude, can you chew and then speak please? That's nasty." I made a disgusted face even though I always did the same thing. "I'm sure mama could—" My words were cut off by several loud pops. The hall fell silent "What was that? Did lightening hit a tree or something?" I whispered to Brandon.

"It didn't sound like a tree splitting." He peered around the corner we were sitting by but jumped back towards me when more pops went off. "That wasn't lightening. There's a guy at the end of the hall with a big ass gun." Brandon jumped to his feet and started pushing people into classrooms, urging them to be quiet.

"What the hell do we do?!" I helped him get the middle-schoolers into rooms, instructing the older kids to lock the doors, pull the blinds, and create a barricade.

"We have to get to the office so we can tell them there is a shooter. It's possible they didn't hear the shots since it was all the way across the school. Just follow me. Keep your eyes open and your mouth shut." Brandon's face was plastered with fear. But, I did what he said and stayed close to him. I walked backwards so I could keep an eye out on what was happening behind us.

The entire way to the office we kept getting people into classrooms and telling them not to leave and not to let anyone in. No teachers were in their rooms because it was lunchtime. They were all either in the teacher's lounge or off campus somewhere. We only made it past a couple classrooms before Brandon stopped dead in his tracks.

"There is another shooter down that hallway." Brandon whispered to me. "We'll have to go outside so we can avoid him." We inched along the wall towards the door that led to the courtyard. "Ready?"

I nodded to my brother. He opened the door and we were met by a torrential downpour. We sprinted across the soggy lawn, praying we wouldn't be seen by the intruders.

Callie's POV

"How was your class?" I questioned Jude as we waited for Mariana to come get her book. I picked him up from his school on my way over here and he hadn't said a word the whole time. When I was met with silence once again I sighed deeply. "Are you pissed at me for some reason? Because you haven't said two words to me since you were at NCIS the other day."

"I don't want to talk about it. Please just leave me alone." He rested his head against the window and watched as droplets of water raced each other to the bottom.

I rolled my eyes and leaned back in my seat. Soon enough Mariana came running out of the building and up to the car.

I rolled the window down and stuck her calculus book out. "You need to be more responsible and stop forgetting things! This is the third time I've had to do this! I only have an hour for lunch and I'd really like to spend it eating instead of running errands!"

"Sorry! It won't happen again, promise!" She shoved the book in her bag. "Hey, Jude!"

He didn't even look over to her.

"He's kind of in a bad—"

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Three loud noises rung out from the school. Jude sat up quickly in his seat and turned to look at me. His faced was drained of color and covered with fear. I knew I looked the same way.

"What was that?!" Mariana had crouched down next to the car.

I jumped out of the car and Jude followed in suit. I went to the back and opened the hatchback.

"Callie, what the hell are you doing?" Jude grabbed my wrist as I started to pull up the fabric on floor of the mini cooper.

"I stashed the weapons you got from New Intelligence several months ago. Remember when you gave them to me the first night I was at the house?" I ripped up the fabric and pulled a piece of plywood away. "I wanted to go to a shooting range today just to get some practice in so I put them in the car last night. I guess it's a good thing I did." I pulled the guns and knives out of the little trunk and strapped them to my body. I handed Jude one of the guns but he pulled one out of his bag.

"I didn't go to class today… I went to the range just like you were going to."

"What the hell?! Why do you guys have guns and knives?!" Apparently Mariana had seen all of this happen.

We were still adjusting the weapons on our hips and ankles when more shots went off. I slammed the trunk shut. "Mariana, get in the car and get as far away from here as possible. You need to call mom. Get the cops here. Call Ziva at NCIS and see if they can help. From what I heard, there are multiple shooters. The shots came from different ends of the building. There's no way one person could get across the school that fast."

Mariana stood frozen in front of me. "I uh… I don't have my license. Maybe you should go…" She started to back away but I grabbed her by the shoulders and shook her out of her trance.

"No! I have to go in there and make sure no one is hurt!" I opened the driver's door and shoved her in the car. "It's not hard. You've driven some with B. Just go! I'll call mom and Ziva so you don't have to be on the phone. Just go home!"

She nodded as tears welled in her eyes. "Okay. Okay I can do this!" She started the engine as Jude and I made our way towards the building, weapons drawn. "Wait! Callie, Jude!" She called from the open window.

"What?!" I yelled back.

"I love you!" Her brown eyes glistened with tears.

"We love you, too!" Jude yelled out. "Now go! Get out of here!" He waved her on into the raging storm. "Alpha, are you ready?"

"I have to call mom and Ziva. Give me two minutes!" I didn't wait for his answer. The entire time I dialed I hoped no more shots would go off.

"Hey Cal! What's up love?" Stef's cheery voice answered on the other end of the call.

"Stef! There are armed intruders at Anchor Beach. I was dropping off Mariana's textbook when we heard the shots. Get a team down here as fast as possible. I have to call Ziva. Just hurry, please!"

"Callie, slow down. Just tell me what's—"

"I don't have time to explain. Please just send your squad down here!" Tears were threatening to fall. I needed to get in the building to start clearing people out but I still had to call Ziva.

"Okay, we'll be there as soon as we can. Callie, I love you."

"I love you too, mom!" I hung up the phone, barely registering that I had called Stef "mom".

I quickly dialed Ziva and anxiously awaited her answer.

"Special Agent Ziva David." Her voice was much less cheery than Stef's.

"Ziva, get the team and get down to Anchor Beach Charter School. There are shooters in the building. Jude and I are going in." I couldn't wait for her response so I hung up. "Bravo! Follow my lead!" I screamed above the roaring storm.

I stepped in front of my brother and pushed the doors open. The building was eerily silent. Our wet shoes squeaked against the tile floors. Luckily we entered by the front office.

"Put your gun down. We can't go in there, weapons drawn." I harnessed my gun and Jude followed in suit. I tried to twist the doorknob but it was locked. "Jude, I need you to pick it."

He didn't even let me finish before he had his tools out of his pocket. He always carried a travel-sized lock-pick kit. Within a few seconds the door was unlocked. Jude stepped back and let me lead.

I took a deep breath and pulled the door open. We were met by several whimpers and people begging us not to kill them. "We aren't here to hurt you! We're here to help. We just wanted to make sure you'd called the code."

"Callie?" Lena popped up from the other side of the counter. Jesus and Brandon weren't too far behind her. They were both soaking wet.

"We don't have time to explain. Get everyone to the back room and lock the door. Barricade the best you can. We'll lock this one behind us." Jude barked orders. We made for a quick exit but Brandon stopped us.

"Hey!" He whisper-yelled. "There are at least two shooters. We counted them as we made our way over here. They're wearing colored arm-bands. We saw red and blue. I guess there could be more but that's all we saw.

My heart dropped when he spoke and I knew Jude's did too. I nodded weakly at Brandon to silently thank him for the information. I pulled the door shut behind me and sunk to the floor.

"Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" Jude's voice was barely above a whisper.

I nodded. "Colored arm-bands? It has to be NI agents. I've never heard of anyone else doing that. But we only did it during training. We never would have had any identifying marks on a mission. What the hell are they thinking?" I racked my brain for answers.

"That doesn't really matter! Do you remember the colors that he said? Red and blue. Whenever we did this kind of training red and were the designated team leaders. Each team had three members including the leader. Alpha, there are most likely six shooters in this building. If they are all NI agents, we're severely outnumbered. What the hell are we going to do?"

I hung my head trying to come up with a plan. A storm was raging inside of me. Fear and anger swirled in my head fighting to take over my thought process. "We do what we were trained to do." I fought through my internal storm, ready to take on a new, physical one. "We fight. And 'severely outnumbered' my ass. We're Alpha and Bravo. Those fools are no match for us." I stood up and pulled two of my guns, one for each hand. "You ready for this, Bravo?" I looked over at my brother who had followed my actions. With a weapon in each hand he nodded. "Alright, let's get a move on then."
