One night, for a life time {Complete}

Chapter 29 : The secret case

"SURPRISE!!" Everyone in the room said with excitement. We were in the Neverland ranch reception room of the train station, I recognized itinstantly. My parents, my brother , Michael, the jumpstreet friends, Tom's mother, Scha and George were here. "Oh my god!" I said, with a tear of joy rolling down my cheek. "You like your surprise?" asked Tom with a smile. "Hell yeah I like it!" I said and went to embrace everyone, happily. "You did all this ?" I asked Tom. "Yes, with the help of Michael, Doug and your parents" he said with a smile. "Thank you everyone, and thak you Tom" I said, clapping my hands together.

The room was perfectly decorated, soft and classy, looking like a gastronomic restaurant, in  gold and white colours. A large rectangular table was set in the middle of the room, meticulously. The reflection of the light on the dark freshly waxed wooden floor, made the room look even bigger. "I suggest we all take a drink in Kris' honour" said Michael happily. "Here for you my dear" said Michael, handing me a cocktail. "Thanks Mike, What's in it?" I said with a smile, taking a look at the purple cocktail. "Long love" he said with smirk, raising his eyebrows. "O...kay" I said, giving him a questioning look. I turned to Hanson who just shrugged, not knowing what Michael was talking about.

"How is my baby doing?" asked my dad, deposing a classy kiss on my cheek. "I'm good daddy, you too?" I asked. "Yes we too, darling" he smiled, wrapping an arm around my mom's waist. "How about work?" Asked my mom. " It's a lot to take in, but it's cool" I said with a nod, then took a sip of my drink. "David, you know Commandant Hechter?" Asked Tom, I threw him a 'not now' look, discreetly. "Yeah, how could I forget about him" answered my dad, platonically. "He's replacing Commandant Brooks for her formation at the academy" said Tom, causing me to look down at my drink. "What? I hope he isn't too harsh with you, if he is, I'll talk to him, privately" He said, running a free hand in his grey hair. "No, he's just strict, that's all" I reassured my dad, smiling. "Good" he said, putting on a smile.

"Your Attention please everybody, dinner is served" Announced George. We all went to sit down around the table. "Allow me, Kris" Said George, pulling the chair for me. "Thank you George" I said with a smile. He pulled a smile and sat down. I was sitting between Hanson and Michael, Robin was in front of me, Penhall and Ioki on his right, mom and Caren on his left. George and Sacha were sitting next to Michael. While my dad and Judy were sitting on each end of the table.

"Say Tom, how did you meet Michael?" Asked Caren, curiously. "I worked here on a case with Harry, and also with the help of Kris" he said with a smile. "See, I was right, I told you but you ignored me" he said with a laugh. "Because you were about to say that he was in the police at the moment Joshua entered the room and that wasn't the point" I laughed. "Oh my god, I just realized something" he said as he bursted out laughing, causing everybody to look at him. "What ?" I asked, giving him a weird look. "That's why you were so embarrassed, when I said that you told me you wouldn't mind getting arrested by Tom and blah blah blah" he laughed. Harry laughed, and Tom as well, by the memory. "Well yeah" I said embarrassed again, and here we go for the tomato face again, thank god my parents and Caren didn't hear that. "Don't worry Michael, I don't blame you" said Tom, making me blush even more. "I knew it gave you ideas" Mike said with a wink.

"Anyway the food is getting cold guys" I said, trying to change the subject. Tom pinched my cheeks, seeing I was a little less embarrassed. "Oh great! a little 'mise en bouche' before desert, boys can I have a word with you please" said Michael, seriously. I frowned, seeing Robin, Tom, Doug and Harry following Michael, and everybody acting as if it was normal.

"Do you mind If I take Michael's seat?" asked Judy, sitting next to me. "Nah go ahead, jud" I said with a smile. "They're being weird, I don't know what's with them" She said suspiciously. "Yeah, me neither" I sighed. "Anyway, It's kind of Michael to let us sleepover" she said with a smile. "Sleepover?" I asked with a giggle. "Yeah, Hanson didn't tell you?" she asked with a laugh, seeing my reaction. "No, he didn't, honestly, I thought we were having dinner at home. Before he asked me to change my clothes and put a blindfold on my eyes" I said, chuckling. "Typical of him" she giggled, unsurprised. "Shoot, they're coming back, I'd better go" she said with a giggle, that made me giggle as well.
