Dakota and Matty sat in the truck driving towards Coast City. They had just left the house that Barry bought for him and Kota. The two of them were going to be apart of a task force run out of Coast City. It was an exciting new challenge for both of them.
Dakota was staring out the passenger seat window watching the houses go by as Matty drove. After a few minutes, Kota turns in her seat to look back at the city she was leaving behind.
