Two Long Years later....... And a new beginning

A lot had happened in those two years. The CIA sent the seven on a mission. TOGETHER. The never ending fights between Dorothy ( or as Jason says: DOT) &Jason (according to Dorothy, JASEBALL)caused the two to nearly lose their minds. Jason ended up smoking and clubbing, but it stopped there. He didn't drink or do drugs. Sure once in a while he'd come home with a girl but nothing more. He had a secret that would lead him a right. Dorothy couldn't care any less .Then her mom,the one person she loved more than Danny, had cancer. Things got worse when Dorothy received news of her mother's death. She didn't want to have any contact with anyone. She even missed Danny's wedding to Jade and the afterparty held by the person she hated it most:her mother's murderer:her father. That is where the curtains reopen.

Monday morning on 12 April ,2012

Dorothy finally decides to come out. When Jason saw her, he was devastated. The very person he fell in love with became her shadow. She didn't talk or ever want to smile. She moved in with Eva and the girls. She then became the her that everyone had missed. The only new thing was her refound excessive hatred for Jason Christopher Jackson. When Danny saw her again, She refused to go in because Jase was home. He couldn't help but think that maybe the bad behaviour Jase put on was what chased her out in the first place. You can imagine his utmost horror when the Agency put Jesse, Jason and Dorothy together. The mission requires that they date each other, go to fancy balls, make speeches,and the stuff that other rich famous royalty do. It wasn't hard for either of them because they were used to it and they had connections, they were also somehow royalties. But pretending to be in love and date each other,difficult and tricky. Before the whole CIA palaver,Danny had strictly warned Jason "Not to make a move on his sister". But to hell with that, he didn't give it a damn any more. He really wanted to let her know how he felt. They had been five weeks together and it seemed that Danny didn't want Dorothy to know. He kept busting in when he was about to tell her. Danny was just being overprotective of his sister but he didn't realise that he was shattering Jason's life and forcing him on a rollercoaster of emotions daily. Then something happened that would change that. The couple were invited to a red and black ball. The night before, he asked his sister how to get a girl's attention. She told him that the first tip was to act romantic then ignore. Turn on,then go off. Don't tell her how you feel before you show her. Let your actions speak. If possible, pretend that you hate her,and for sure she'll come running after you. Then she asked who the unlucky lady was. He was pretty surprised that she said 'unlucky' so he asked her."Bruv,don't act all innocent. I know your history. You are what I'd call a playboy. A list of twenty six ex-girlfriends and then six hook up parties in three months. Kid, you're a badass. You know how to do this better and I do, so stop asking questions. You are known for breaking hearts. Why do you think Danny doesn't want you going near his sister? Dude,wait, is it ---her?!" Jason didn't know where to start from. He just walked to the door,turned back,said "I can't believe you figured. Well,yes, now shut the hell up!!!"

Now he was going to try his best to be a romantic. He was bent on making it clear to her that he was in love with her. He asked for a few favours from his friends. He texted the enchanting eleven to play 4 songs:Someone You Love by Lewis Calpladi ,Closer by The Chainsmokers,Bad Romance by Lady Gaga and Starving by Hailee Steinfield. He called the event planner and asked for 5 smoke machines to be mounted in the hall. He called the master of ceremony to set up something like a hollow point in the hall so that Dorothy would fall and he would rescue her. He had the elevator jammed so that it would trap the two of them inside to buy time before anyone would realise that they were not there. He arranged for cameras to follow them so that he could have a reason for behaving romantic and to stop her from putting off the love act. He rented a limo filled with interviewers to find out how she feels. Operation Dorothy was a go.

At the party,they figured that their little friends, Rhiley and Bethany were present. They also figured that Ava, Eva and Jesse were all invited. This was bad for Jason so he told Rhiley that Jesse was at the party. As expected, Rhiley was all over Jesse. Dorothy thought that they came together and so was heartbroken. Jason texted to the band 'now'. The leader,Jael,stepped up to the mic."A love struck friend who really needs to tell a girl how he feels, requested these four or maybe a fifth. Hope you get your girl. "She threw a wink at Jason and started singing. She already knew that the selected songs were Dorothy's favourite. He ended up telling her that she should start with 'Bad Guy' by Billie Eilish. He really enjoyed seeing her dance hiphop highlife although he was 'slightly' angry that she was dancing with Jesse. Then the next dance was the waltz. Rhiley stole Jesse for the next dance. So Jason saw his chance. He saw her move to a corner of the hall and sit. He gently moved to her front and parked his butt. He did that to block out the sight of Jesse and Rhiley. Then he became all carefree and asked "Care to dance?" Dorothy's only reply was "With you,no thanks!" Jason knew better than dumping the matter there. He pulled her out of his chair and towards his chest. He looked her right in the eyes to see here reaction. With none forth coming, he resorted to plan B. He gave her a light peck on her forehead and said,"I know way better than arguing this case. Now let's go to the dance floor." He lifted her up lightly and placed her feet on the dance floor. As they were waltzing off, thoughts were spinning through Dorothy's head. 'Why,how,when did this start? I know we argue a lot but what happens when we aren't? Oh my God, he just tucked my hair behind my ears. And he is getting closer.' A light kiss snapped her back into reality. She didn't know what to do. She silently kissed back. What started out a little kiss became heavy,passionate kiss. Dorothy pulled back. Jason just kept staring into her eyes to see her reaction. She took a few steps backwards, right about the place where the hole was. In his mind,he counted down. 'Three,two,one and Oh God, no!' She narrowly missed the hole in the ground. She almost fell dead,except Jason did a super push and nudged her out of the way because he had seen three bombers and about six armed men. He realized that she was a target. He narrowly missed a bullet with aim of hitting her heart. He, at once, knew the person responsible for this.

"Dot, your diabolical father tried to kill you. We have to get everyone out of here so we can fight this squarely. "Everyone get out,now. The hall is under attack. Out now. Except you want to die. Dot, into the elevator, now. No buts." "I'm not getting in the freaky elevator while all the fun is happening. I'm going to change into a comfy out fit. You take this and change, now." "Yes ma'am. But you seem to forget YOU'RE THE TARGET! I can't live with myself if you die any time soon. So personally,I'm your protector." "No, I am. Now, Dorothy get in the freaking elevator. You know better than to disobey me."Danny's voice boomed out of a corner. "You both forgot that I can take care of myself, fight and have a lot of reasoning capability, and that's why they chose me. I'm okay. Now Danny, take this. Jason,take this." She flung two suitcases at the two of them. "These are my dad's gadgets. They are ten times better than CIA tools. And we're going to fight my dad so. You get. Now brace yourself."
