Honey and Glass

10. Christmas

Blaire had left earlier that morning for the airport. She said goodbye to Blaine and her mother as she was leaving for Scotland for Christmas. Every year she switched off. Last year she spent it with Blaine and her mom so this year it was with the City Spies.

She was going down a bit early as she was going to watch Rio's skating competition. The plane landed and she was walking to baggage claim when she looked to the left and saw a brown haired boy. It wasn't just any brown-haired boy though, if you changed his hair color, it would be Dalton Branch. Blaire gasped and did a double take to see him gone. Maybe he wasn't really there, or maybe, he saw her too.

She walked to the exit and waited until mother texted her his location. She walked across the street and into the parking lot where Mother was waiting for. He waved to her out of the window and she ran to the car. "Hey, how's my girl doing?" he asked her as she threw her suitcase into the trunk of the car.

"I'm good," she answered, shutting the trunk. They walked back around and got into the car.

"How's your grades?" He asked her as they pulled out of the parking lot.

"Same as always," Blaire bragged with a smile. "Classes are boring, people are idiots, Glee's been interesting, I have a boyfriend."

"Boyfriend?" Her dad questioned with a raised eyebrow. He smirked as he looked back to the road. "What's he like?"

She rolled her eyes and laughed, "His name's Sam. He's blonde, blue eyes, completely sweet, and the relationship is only romantic."

Mother smiled to herself, "good, that's good, I'm glad you're happy."

"Thanks," Blaire smiled at him. "So how's the skating competition going? Any chances of a win?"

"Oh absolutely," Mother confirms. Blaire gives him a look.

"Are you just saying that to be supportive?" She teased and Mother laughed and shook his head.

"No, he's actually doing amazing," Mother retorted proudly. Blaire nodded with a happy smile.

"Can't wait to see it then."

They drove for a few more minutes. The city turned into a smaller town and soon they were at a complex. Farm.

"LIMA!" Sydney yells, running out the front door. The rest come through the door at almost the same speed behind her. Blaire was barely able to get out of the car before her siblings came barreling into her, Sydney meeting her first. She slams her into the car and they wrap their arms around each other.

"Chill, Syd, don't kill her," Paris teases and Sydney lets go, giving Paris room to move past her to give his youngest sister a hug.

He moves away and Brooke goes next followed by Kat then Rio. "Hey, you're really going to make your old father carry the heavy bags?" Mother asked and Lima rolled her eyes and went to grab her suitcase. "That was a joke," Mother laughed, pushing her away. "Dinner should be ready soon, go clean up, especially you, Rio, you look filthy."

"HEY!" His siblings laugh and leave him standing in front of the house as they all walk past him, "Come on guys!"

Mother dropped off her suitcase by the stairs and Lima grabbed it and rolled it to her room. She threw her backpack on her bed and took the sheets off of her desk and her furniture that she placed there so that A. it wouldn't be dusty and B. she would know if her siblings took anything.

She picked up a few things that had fallen off the shelf and walked to her shared bathroom to wash her hands. When she finished she walked back down stairs to see that the table was all set and the food was being placed on the table. Lima didn't have to do much except sit down with everyone else.

Everyone starts grabbing for their food and they get started on the meal when Mother grabs his glass, hitting it with a fork to get their attention. , "I have an announcement..." he took a deep breath and took a few folders out from his bag that was seated next to him. "We found an Umbra base nearby," Mother says, passing folders to us. "It's a few hours drive. Over the next few months we're going to monitor it, see if it's active, what's going on, which branch, do some recon, then Summer comes, we're going in, can't wait for them to realize we're here and strike first.

Lima opens the folder and inside is pictures of the supposed person running the base. Armir Polanco. He is one of the men in charge of Umbra. It's a generational thing. He was taught to take over by his father, and his father before him. There are different ones and the ones that they've had the pleasure of dealing with the most are Emil Blix, Magpie, and Alexander Cidiel. They don't always know what the others are doing though. Blix never knew about the sex traffic ring that Cidiel was running, he would never allow it. He himself has three daughters.

It was the same Sex traffic ring that they had taken down last year. Lima didn't deal with him personally, but Mother had an altercation with him. Cidiel was somehow, accidentally, thrown out a window.

"But, never mind that now. Rio has a competition," Mother announces, shaking the boy as his siblings all clapped for them.

Rio ended up winning his skating competition. He was really good (I know nothing about skating). They had an amazing Christmas– the end.

Very sorry about this being rushed. I forgot about this chapter and I really don't want to write it since I've already finished season two and half of season three. If I feel like I'll come back and finish it, but for now, enjoy the rest of season 2.
