"What do you want again?" Jimmy ran after her. "What are you talking about?"

"You'll just have to see for yourself." Dakota said. "Its late, see you in the morning."

"Dakota wait!" He quickly grabbed her before she could disappear.

"What?"

He smirked and leaned in, successfully kissing her. Jimmy was proud of himself, he did it. And this time she didn't reject him or say a smart ass comment. Their lips moved in sync. It was like the world suddenly stopped, and for a moment, he got a breather. His breather was that kiss. It was Dakota.

She was the first to pull back, "Goodnight Garoppolo."

And with that, she moved past him and strutted to her room. She knew what was coming, and it was approaching faster than they expected. She couldn't even deny the feelings she had for him. At first Dakota was focused on protecting him, but his personality drew her in. She even scolded herself for getting too close but it was a risk she wanted to take. Jimmy was different. He didn't work in her industry. He didn't have to be on guard 24/7, well now he did; but before, he lived a great life. Taking a leap of fate, she kissed him. Maybe it was the adrenaline talking but, she did it. Maybe it was even out of fear she wouldn't ever be able to.

"Hey," Noah greeted her as she walked in the room. All the agents were gathered at a table, planning and strategizing. "Ready?"

She took a seat, "Let's begin."

"Maybe we should just pull out." Cassie sighed. "We all know how this might possibly end."

"It's too late." Thomas whispered. "Even if we tried, we couldn't."

Alex bit her lip, "I thought preparing might help... But no matter what we do, nothing will prepare us for whats about the come."

"As long as we just follow through with the mission." Dakota said. "Just protect them, even if we don't get Knox."

"That's impossible." Noah scoffed. "Think about it, either it's gonna be one of them or one of us that ends up dead. Knox is setting some sketchy shit up, and he knows it's us trying to find him."

"That's the thrill of all of this remember?" Dakota stated, that look in her eye.

"Uh oh she has that look in her eye." Thomas announced. "It's now or never."

"I'm in." Alex put her hand out.

"Me too." Cassie put her hand on top of hers.

"Let's do it." Thomas joined the pile.

Dakota wordlessly stacked her hand on top of their, "Noah?"

Noah looked at them, debating in his head. He rolled his eyes, "Fine, count me in."

"We're coming for you Rakim." Thomas muttered.

The Following day:

The players were in the gym before getting ready for a party that their team was throwing. All the agents circled the gym, each one being more jumpy and alert. They each stayed up till dawn, coming up with their plays by plays. Everyone had the feeling. That feeling of uneasiness and anxiety. They all knew that that meant. It was time.

"Hey," Jimmy came up to Dakota, grinning from ear to ear. "I haven't talked to you in all day, you were still sleeping when I woke up."

Dakota cleared her throat, "Oh um it was a rough night, you know? Tossing and turning, I didn't fully fall asleep until later on."

"Well you could've gotten me." Jimmy said.

"Y-yeah, I just didn't know if you were asleep so, um how was the workout?" She quickly changed topics.
