Chapter 33: Body Art

Reference to Pizza Box

Mike rolled over to check the time on his cell phone screen.  He unwraps himself from my big sister giving her a kiss before leaving the room and walking down the hall into his room to get ready for running that morning. Our dog BD joins him on the beach. Within minutes I am up dressed heading downstairs with my other stuff. I am in our kitchen now so I brew coffee for the house and made my hot chocolate.

Soon after that Jakes and his dreads tickle me as he greets me "Good Morning Ninja." I returned his greeting with a hug. "Did Ralph call back with any news on Mel?" he asked. No, he hasn't yet but I am sure that he will soon, I replied. Just so you know that since she's important to you Mel is already a part of this family even though Mel might not be an agent yet.

Everyone else in this house has a nickname but I, Jakes felt jealous and offended. I haven't given you one yet because I like your name, I replied to him. Okay Ninja I understand what you are saying to me. The team came into the kitchen and got their coffee. Mom started cooking breakfast that morning at our stove.

As George walked through the front door at the same time as Mike did just with the back door. My body guard greeted everyone in our kitchen. Roger grabbed a water bottle then head up to his room for a shower. Meanwhile back in our kitchen the table is now set. I put out our place settings on the island. Seconds after that Mike returns giving me the forehead kiss, kissing our big sister on the lips, and greeted everyone.

Our breakfast is served promptly at 8:00 am. Everyone dishes out their food to eat. The team sat down between our table and the island. Mike and I sat on our couch using the coffee table for the food. We ate together like one big happy family. After eating we put all the dirty dishes in our sink.

Moments after that all of us mentioned our goodbyes to each other while getting our stuff. The entire team went outside for the cars and trucks. Both our driveway and house were empty again. The other members of my family head in the direction of their missions. Headquarters bound for the long day.

George and I parked his car when we got there that morning. We went straight to Juan's office. Each of us exchanged greetings to each other. "How did you take the news about your goddaughter Bionic Agent?" he asked giving a hug. Not really good at all and pushed Mike away, I replied to him Ralph called to tell me here at the office.

There was a short meeting about Mel. "Is there anything that you want me to do?" he asked. Everything is set for the time being for getting her here, I replied to him. When she has a community service project to do can she volunteer here under you? Okay that sounds like a plan Bionic Agent.

Later on both of us head straight to the file room to finish our unfinished business from the week before. This time around it went a lot faster but it was still pretty boring. "Do you have your ticket for Miami yet?" I stated. "Yes, I do bring it yesterday after I left Graceland, he replied." Finally we were on the last box of papers. Yay!!!!

Both of us went in the direction of Juan's office again to say goodbye to him. Seconds later are now Graceland bound. We pulled into our driveway to park his car. I opened our front door for us to go inside the house. George closes the door behind him. We sat down on the couch to cool off with a drink.

I went upstairs to take a quick bath. My family arrives from work. Everyone else greeted each other in the family room. Seconds after that I returned to join the team as we exchanged our greetings to each other. George mentioned his goodbyes to us and heads off in the direction of his place.

Lunch time begun at 12:00 pm. everyone dished out their food to eat. The team sat down in their assigned seats around the table. Mike and I are on the couch using the coffee for our food. We ate together like one big happy family. After eating we put all the dirty dishes in our sink.

Roo and I haven't had a conversation with each other in a while. Our big brother sat down next to me on the bed. My hands slowly worked their way up his shirt to touch his back. Seconds after that my 15 minute story begins. I am a church girl I was there any time the doors were open as a kid with my family. Roo has a huge cross on his back. There are many other tattoos that he has but that one is my favorite. Levi never told you that he is also a church kid, Roo asked? No, I would've figured it out on my own eventually because he is my twin, I replied.

[Soda can or bottle opens]

He finally opens up and tells me a little more about himself. When I was growing up as a kid my brothers and I were in a gang which our mother didn't really approve of at all. My brother ended up dying and from that day she has been mad at me. Years had passed I joined the FBI which she still doesn't know fully about right now. Jakes has this crazy asset named Ms. Pearl which I slept with before she had ideas of shooting me.

Elsewhere in our house the team is in the kitchen. Within minutes we are downstairs with them. Mom started cooking dinner at the stove that night. The others group members set our kitchen table together. I put out our place settings on the island then watched at whatever was in our pot cooking.

Dinner is promptly served at 6:00 pm. everyone dishes our food to eat. The team took their assigned seats at our table. Mike and I sat down on our couch using the coffee table for the food. We ate together like one big happy family. After eating we put all the dirty dishes in the sink.

Mom clears off the table and our kitchen island to wipe it down. As for my sisters they are unpacking our dishwasher. We split up into our usual groups that night. I am washing the dishes in our sink to repack the dishwasher with clean dishes. The guys are getting the cooler ready with both drinks and ice.

Our kitchen is all packed away and perfect right now. A family that fights crime together stays together. We head out our door and closed it. Bonfire time starts with drinks being passed around our circle. Stories aren't that far behind. Stars shone brightly above our heads as the fire crackled at our feet.

I stuck around longer to hear the end of a story. Minutes after that I went up to the house in order to throw away my juice box in the bin. During my time in the house changed into my jammies and brushed my teeth to sit on our couch. Roger follows behind me to put his beer bottle in the sink then heads upstairs for a shower. Our t v set turned on as I am now watching it.

Within the next 5 minutes Roger joins me on our couch that night. Cuddling time starts for us while watching a t v show. The team came inside dragging the cooler behind them with empty beer bottles and a juice box in their hands. Nat throws away hers in our trash bin. Everyone else heads upstairs to get ready to bed.

Later on the team filters back into the family room again. They find a place to sit down and join us. Pumpkin Pie and I made a very nice ice cream sandwich out of her boyfriend. We enjoyed more family time together. Another roommate picked out something for us to watch.

Moments after that my eyes started to get heavier as sleep crept into my system. Everyone stood up in our family room to mention their goodnights to each other. Roger kisses my forehead as the team also does the same thing with my cheeks. I went into our room to plop down on the bed with Pedro in my arms. Everyone else soon joins me in dreamland that night.
