Hidden Truth

Chapter 1

  Christmas was less than four days away and everyone anxiously waited for the day to arrive. Meanwhile in the Catco office building Kara, Winn, and James prepared for the picking of their secret Santa.

"Okay I'll go first." Winn spoke like a little boy ready to tear open a present. Before he could a voice everyone in the office feared spoke from behind Kara.

"What's going on here?" Question Cat.

"Oh un Miss G-Grant." Kara stutter not sure if to tell the truth. "Just picking names for secret Santa." Kara explained.

"My building does this and I don't know about it?" Cat was a bit hurt.

"No not the building." Kara clarified. "But if you like your welcome to join." Winn and James gave Kara an what the hell are you doing look but Kara just smiled. She only offered because she knew Miss Grant would never accept.

"You know what Keira I would love to." Kara look dumbfounded as Cat wrote her name on a paper and tossed it in. Once more Kara shook the the Santa hat. One by one Cat, Winn, and James picked a name.

"What about you Kara?" Winn asked to the reason why Kara hadn't pick out a name.

"Alex made me promise I'll pick last because usually she get the last name. So I agreed." Remembering that Cat Grant herself was there they went back to their work station. The day continued peacefully and Kara flew over to the DEO base to let Hank choose his secret Santa. Hank picked his name and so did Alex.

"So Christmas is at your place?" Alex asked not remembering if it was at hers or her sisters place this year.

"Yup at my place but you or Lucy have to cook because the kitchen just isn't my thing." Kara chuckled remembering when she tried to bake a cake and nearly burned down Alex's apartment.

"You're right we don't want a have to put out a fire again." Kara smiled and flew off. She was done for the day everyone had picked a name and now it was her turn to see who she got. Unfolding the paper she saw the name Cat Grant on it.

"Great what do you get a woman who owns everything she wants?" Kara mumbled to herself. She didn't want to go the whole night with out sleeping. She closed her eyes and ignored her working mind.

   When morning came Kara was up about doing her usual routine. She got Miss Grant her coffee and got herself something. Once Miss Grant walked into the office she handed her, her coffee and quietly walked behind her.

"Miss Grant just wanted to let you know secret Santa presents have to be given before midnight the the 24th." Kara had left that little detail out to Miss Grant.

"But that's tomorrow." Miss Grant stated shocked. Kara smile and gave a small nod. Her family always enjoyed getting a rush of adeline. "That's fine rest assured I'll have my present ready. When do you guys exchange gift." Kara hadn't really explained to Miss Grant how this worked for the crazy bunch that was doing this exchanged.

"We don't." Kara said causing Miss Grant to be confused. "You give your person the gift threw out the day whenever you can, but the rule is before midnight on the 24th." Cat nod in understanding. Before any other words could be exchanged. Lucy walked into the office.

"You guys are gonna wanna see this." Cat and Kara walked out of the office and stood next to Lucy. Lucy walked over to Winn and grabbed his hand. "Winn you better like this. If you don't I totally miss read you." Lucy confess. She hoped the Winn like his present. With out warning a window of the Catco building shattered.
