CHAPTER ONE

"Merry Christmas, Mat!" I jumped on my best friend, Mathew from behind the couch.

He coughs, "girl, it's December 5th, also get off. you're crushing me" He tries pushing me off himself but I don't budge.

"Oh no, I'm crushing your precious abs" I fake cry for his poor abs then start having a giggle fit

Mat chuckles a bit, "you're just jealous I'm gonna get all the boys because I'm so hot" he attempts to flip his short hair

"Shut up" I answer.

Mathew replies with the most daring response, "make me" he looks down at me who is on the floor now and repeats it, "make me"

"BET!" I spring off the ground and onto him, punching his stomach and chest, "RATATATATATATA!!!" I screech and keep lightly punching him till we both fall to the ground laughing and then my uncle Chase walks in the door and looks at us

"Well some people are having fun" he says

"Yeah and?" I reply

"That's- Not- ACCEPTABLE!!" he yells and runs toward both of us and picks us up each over one of his shoulders

I scream, "LET US DOWN" between laughs and trying to catch my breath, i look over and Mathew is no help, he's just a mess and a half of fits and giggles

Chase finally sets us down on the couch to let us catch our breath, and after a minute we start asking questions

"Any new cases?" I ask

"Yeah" Chase replies

"Is it a murder?" Mathew asks

"Ohhhh, Is it because of the 'mafia'?" I question sarcastically, because the local mafia never gets caught for anything

"Yes actually" Chase replies surprise i actually got it for once

Mat and I both look at him with big eyes "SPILL" we both say at the same time, bouncing up and down on the couch cushions

"How much sugar did you guys have?"

"A ton" i reply, "now spill, pleasee"

"Okay, okay" he says, taking of his hat and fanning himself with it "you're so loony, Lisa"

"That's not new" i reply

"True, true" he utters under his breath, "Anyway the case"

"YES" Mat says eagerly

"It's about the Macabre Mafia, we think they're involved with the current dog fights, gambling and murders"

"So the gambling is because of the dog fights and the murders because of the gambling?" I ask

"Exactly" he replies

"Those poor dogs.." Mat says sadly

"Anything else?" i ask while patting mat's back

"Classified" he says "sorry"

"Damn" I pout a bit "oh well"

"Yeah but I brought Chinese for dinner" he says holding up a bag of Panda Express.

He smiles at us, "dinner and a movie?" he asks, holding up the new venom two.

Mat and I look at each other, then at my uncle, then back at each other then at Chase again and we both nod vigorously and chase smiles. I put in the movie and we hand out food and then we all sit down and watch the movie together, laughing, the occasional small rice food fight, Mat telling everyone to shush during a quiet part of the movie, Chase and I teasing Mat about his boyfriend, and mat and I doing the same to Chase. It was perfect.
