Chapter 1: Introduction
Present Day: November 27, 2038
Bravery is a funny thing, isn't it? It's not something you can learn like patience or virtue. You're either born with it, or you're not. It either comes out when you need it, or you sink under the pressure. You can't control it, even though you wish that you could. Some situations are just too much that even your own instincts fail you. You can only hope the day that happens never comes, but sadly, even the strongest people have a breaking point.
The gut wrenching screams that tore through the cool autumn air were enough to make any normal person cringe. They were cries of intense pain: the type of hurt that could only be caused at the hands of someone else.
"Just tell me your names and this will all be over. The sooner you talk, the quicker this will all end. It's a shame to be ruining such a pretty face."
The speaker, a tall man with graying hair around his temples, ran a tired hand over his face. That simple action left a smear of blood in its path across his tanned skin. Lucky for him, it wasn't his. His mocha brown eyes focused with such intensity on the petite female sitting before him, but she wasn't intimidated in the least. She had dealt with men far scarier than him. Said woman spit blood on the floor in his direction before weakly lifting her head to meet his gaze, causing her messy long chestnut brown hair to fall away from her beaten up face.
"Like I said before, my name is Taylor DeMarco, and that guy in the other room is my friend, Justin Nash. We are just financial consultants. You have the wrong people. We sure as hell are not involved with any drug cartel. I don't even know who you are!"
The waver in the young woman's voice did nothing but cause annoyance. She was lying. There was no doubt about it.
A swift smack echoed in the dimly lit room as the middle aged man's hand made contact with "Taylor's" cheek. A pained exhale escaped her chapped lips, but nothing more. A slap across the face was nothing in comparison to what she had endured for the past 24 hours, and he knew that. Matteo Reyes by far was not a stupid man. If he was, then he wouldn't have ever caught her. If he was, she wouldn't be tied to a chair right now, praying in her mind that her team would find her and her partner soon. A stupid man would not have caught two of the best undercover NCIS agents.
"Taylor" watched as Reyes paced back and forth a few times, the rubber soles of his boots squeaking against the concrete ground. Had this been any other situation, she would have been smirking in amusement as she could imagine a stupid joke her partner would be making about the sound. Instead, he was in another room in the warehouse, facing God only knows what. The silence from that direction was both comforting and concerning. She could only hope for the best in order to keep her sanity.
Please, God, let him be alive.
A/N: I hope you liked this short intro. It is a very tiny tidbit of what is to come. Expect many flashbacks/flash forwards throughout the story. I apologize for any mistakes. Oh and the usual disclaimer: All characters belong to their rightful owners.
Here is the form to fill out if you would like to submit a character. It is also on my profile.
I am only accepting characters through PM! Do not send a character in a Review
I will be accepting 5 main characters (not counting my female OC that was introduced). Secondary characters will also be accepted. Do not be discouraged if your character is picked as a Secondary, because they may end up playing a bigger role later on.
1. Do not take a character from the show and add your own spin to him/her because characters from the show will appear throughout the story. Especially do not do this for children of characters! They can share personality traits with their parents, but make them be their own person.
2. Since there are not many characters being accepted, you may only submit one character
3. Be unique and detailed! The more I can get the feel for your character, the better your chances are of being accepted. Be original, but don't make them be over the top. They need to be believable.
4. Only submit a character if you are ok with them potentially getting hurt, tortured, or even dying at some point in the story.
5. Just like in the show, I need male and female characters to make the team work for undercover ops.
YOU MAY SUBMIT CHILDREN OF THE NCIS LA CHARACTERS AS WELL AS CHARACTERS NOT RELATED TO THEM AT ALL. IF YOU SUBMIT A KID, IT MUST BE FROM ONE OF THE FOLLOWING PAIRINGS:
Deeks/Kensi
Nell/Eric
Sam/Michelle
Callen/OC
Nate/OC
IF THERE IS ANOTHER PAIRING YOU WANT AND IT IS NOT LISTED, PM ME FIRST.
