One night, for a life time {Complete}

Chapter 6 : Surprised

*Tom's P.O.V*

"Have a good day Tommy, see you tonight" Kris said, with a beautiful smile. "Yes you too, I'll see you tonight" I said then kissed her cheek and watched her drive off. I entered the chapel, crowded already. "Hey Hanson" said Doug as we made a high five. "Hey man, did you hand the report to Captain Fuller?" I asked. "Yes, after I read it last night" he said, drinking his coffee. "Thanks" I said, pouring myself a coffee and sitting by my desk. Weirdly no one dropped a file on my desk, it felt empty. Only my name , my typewriter and pencil pot sat on it. "Hanson, Ioki" Called captain fuller. Harry and I got up and sat in his office right in front of him. "Gentlemen, you have a case" he announced with a smile. "You're going to Neverland ranch" he added. "Wait isn't that Michael Jackson's estate ?" Asked Ioki. "Yes, indeed, I bet you guys have read the headlines about him lately it's getting worse everyday. As more confidential informations are coming out, he sued the newspaper and they didn't wanted to give the culprit's name which is hiding among the estate's staff, you'll be send there as the Butler's assistants his name is George Smith, your uniforms will be given to you once you'll be in there, I want a clean good bust gentlemen, and be careful of the medias" he explained. "Any questions gentlemen?" he asked. "Nope" I said, shaking my head, "Neither do I" said Harry, as we started getting up. "Oh yeah and one more important thing, you'll be sleeping there while investing, you have half an hour to prepare you stuffs and get there" he said, giving us our files with our 'characters profile'. "Okay" I said reading my file. "Good luck gentlemen" he said and we left his office.

Since my car was at the garage, Harry drove to my apartment where I took five minutes to get my stuff. We then drove to his and he quickly packed his stuff, then off to Neverland. "Oh no, all the journalists are in front of the gates" said Ioki, with a sight, slapping his wheel. "Great" I said sarcastically. "Isn't there any payphone booth around here?" I asked, taking a look at the street. "No it's too risky Tom, what if a journalist takes a picture of us" Harry said, removing his glasses. "You're right, there must be another way to enter the estate" I said, turning to him. "Like a staff access or something?" he asked. "Yes" I replied. "I don't know, let's drive around to see if there is an access" he said then started to drive slowly around.

"Look over here Harry, there is a gate" I said pointing my finger to a smaller gated then the principal entrance that looked exactly the same. Harry stopped in front and a man with short hair in a security uniform stood in front. He opened the gate and walked towards Harry, making him a sign to lower his window down. "Good morning gentlemen, this is the estate's staff entrance, journalists aren't allowed in this area" he said on a poker face. "Good morning, we're not journalists, we are the new assistants of Mister Smith" said Harry. "Do you guys have a work certificate?" he asked. "Yes we have" I said, taking out Ioki and I's from a folder and handing it to him. He took it and nodded giving back the pieces of paper to us. "Perfect, have a good day gentlemen" he said then opened the gates for us and we parked in the staff's parking lot. "Hey Tom, check out that black camaro over here" Harry said excitedly, as we took our bags from the car trunk. "Yeah I know it's my girlfriend's" I said simply. "Your girlfriend's ?" he asked, surprised. "Yes she's Michael's assistant" I said not so loudly, just in case someone hears us. "But don't tell Fuller or he will get me out of the case" I said seriously. "Yeah sure, count on me Hanson" he said with a smile. "Okay, let's go" I said, opening the door.

"Good morning, you must be my assistants right?" asked a man in his 50, with short grey hair greased at the back, dressed with a tail coat, a white shirt and black suit pants. "Yes" answered Harry. "Awesome, I'm George Smith but call me George" He said stretching out his hand for Harry. "Harry Shu-lan" he said with a smile, shaking his hand. "Tomas Pennington" I said, shaking his hand as well. "I'll show you to Miss Stevenson and Mr Brown's office to get your uniforms" he said. We walked like a mile, traversing corridors and rooms to get to the office. "How many rooms are there in the house George?" I asked curiously. "Over 50 rooms" he answered with a smile, opening the Office door.

An office, old fashined but classy, where we could see Kris focused on her work, I stepped a bit behind George, causing Harry to throw me a weird look. "Kris, my assistants are here to pick their uniforms up" he said kindly. "Perfect, I prepared everything after Kyle told me, if something's missing tell me and I'll get it" she said getting up and walked towards the door. "Hello, I'm Kris, Michael's assistant" she said, giving her hand to Harry to shake it, "Harry Shu-lan" he said kindly, shaking her hand. She turned to me and blocked for a second then stretched her hand out to me. "Tomas Pennington" I said with a smile. "Nice to meet you guys, come on in and have a seat" she said as we walked in and sat down on green leathered chairs. "George, where is Michael? He told Kyle he wanted to meet them personally" she asked worriedly as they both stood at the door's entrance. "He's in the dining room having breakfast with Joshua, I'll go there and see how it is going and if they need anything, I'll leave you with Tomas and Harry" he responded. "Okay good, Call me if you need, he'll meet the boys later" she said and closed the door.

"Do you guys want anything to drink or eat?" she asked with a smile. I could tell she felt awkward about the situation. "No thank you" I said, shaking my head. "That's kind but no thanks" Harry said. "Okay, so here are your room keys, some instructions about the job, house rules, an estate map, and if you need any information I'll be glad to help" she said, handing us some papers. "Thank you" said Harry with a smile. "Does Michael know you are here not only for the job ?" she asked us. "No, normally no one knows except you" I answered. "All right, secret's safe with me anyway" she said seriously. "Yes please, we could be in a serious mess if you don't" said Harry, I nodded in agreement. "Did George tell you about the job?" she asked curiously. "No, not yet" I answered. "Okay, you'll have to get the house clean permanently, you'll be wandering around, you'll be serving Michael , Joshua my assistant and I for Breakfast, lunch and dinner, also meetings, stay tuned with the housekeeping service to make sure all bedrooms are clean, run errands if Michael asks you to, you have to stay discreet at anytime, be careful of any details, but with George you'll learn fast and you can also ask me" She explained. "All right" I said. "Oh and I'm sorry but Tom you'll have to tie your hair up, I see Harry already done it, that's perfect, it's the boss's order" she said taking a look at Harry and I's hairstyle. "Come on I'll lead you to your rooms, your uniforms are in there I put them earlier, once you'll finish your shift, just give them to Sasha the housekeeper she'll clean them out and will put them in your room when you'll have breakfast the next morning" she said, getting up, and led us to our room, passing by large corridors.
