~~~Previous~~~

"Well, 'two turtledoves.' And I tell you what to do. You keep one...and you give the other one to a very special person. You see, turtledoves...are a symbol of friendship and love. Now, as long as each of you has your turtledove...you'll be friends forever." The man comments passionately.

"Wow, I never knew that. I thought they were just part of a song." Kevin admits.

"They are. And for that very special reason." The man holds them out.

Kevin carefully takes them from him. "Wow...Thanks."

"Merry Christmas." The man says with a smile.

"Merry Christmas to you, too," Kevin says back cheerfully. "Be sure to bundle up if you go outside. It's a little nippy." Kevin offers as he puts on his hat.

The man looks towards the door. "Oh. I'll do that."

Kevin picks up his items and walks over to me. He looks to the left to see a portrait of the same man he was just talking to. We look back to see that he has gone. We share a look before shrugging our shoulders and leaving the store.

~~~Present~~~

Kevin uses his new magnifying glass to examine the map he has just brought. I sense a presence when a familiar male voice speaks up from behind us. "Hiya, pals."

Kevin lets out a gasp as he drops his map and magnifying glass. I reach out, catch them before they fall to the ground, and place them in my bag as the pair of us turn to look behind us. Kevin gasps as his eyes widen when we see it is Harry and Marv, who should have been in jail.

Marv reaches out to us with his hand just before Kevin screams. Marv and Harry take a step back and look around. While they are distracted, I grab Kevin's hand and run across the road. We run down the path and continue to look behind us as Harry and Marv run after us.

We run past a stall that sells jewellery. "Buy now and avoid the Christmas rush. Two for $5. Two for $5."

Kevin and I share a look before running back to the stool. "Four for $10." I take out $10 from my purse and pass the money over to Kevin. He gives the man the money, and we get four necklaces.

"There they are!" I hear Marv shout, causing the pair of us to look to see that Harry and Marv are getting closer to us.

"Thanks." Kevin and I say at the same time.

"Merry Christmas, dude." The man says back as Kevin and I start running again. As we are running, Kevin breaks the necklaces apart, and we run across the road. We stop and look behind us to see Harry and Marv running across the road. Kevin scatters the beads off the necklaces on the ground before we run off. We hear a yell followed by a thud, and we both stop and turn to see that Harry and Marv have slipped on the beads and fallen to the floor, landing on their backs.

"Yes!" Kevin cheers.

We share a look before we continue running back towards the Plaza Hotel. We see the Concierge standing outside the hotel and running over to him. He has a smirk on his face, and I don't like the look of it as it gives me a bad feeling.

"You got to help us! There's two guys after us!" Kevin says, pointing in the other direction.

"What's the matter? Store wouldn't take your..." He reaches out and takes the envelope out of Kevin's pocket, causing Kevin to look at him in surprise and shock. He takes out Dad's credit card. "...stolen credit card? Let's see what the police have to say about this." He reaches out for us.

Kevin and I dodge out of the way, and we run into the hotel. "Get back here, you little thieves!" He shouts out as he runs after us as we run through the hotel lobby. "Stop them!" He shouts.

We continue running, and we see Cedric in front of us. He drops the suitcase he is carrying and holds out his hands. We move out of the way and head in the other direction. "Grab him!"

The woman turns to look at us. Kevin and I share a look as Kevin drops to his stomach and slides across the floor and through her legs while I run around her, and we manage to get into the elevator before the doors closed. The Concierge, Cedric and the woman bang into each other and fall to the floor. The Concierge stands up and reaches out towards the elevator with his hands. "You little sh—" He is cut off as the elevator doors are closed.

Kevin and I take a look and release a sigh. "I've committed credit card fraud," Kevin says as he leans against the wall.

"Not really, since the card belongs to our Dad anyway." I point out softly, gaining my breath.

We rush out of the elevator as the doors open. We rush to our hotel door, and Kevin gets out the keys. He opens the door, and we rush inside. Kevin rushes to where the food is stored and picks up some cookies. I rush into the bathroom and pick up my toiletries and the female products I had laid out. I rush back into the bedroom and make sure that I pick up all of my other items, such as my phone charger, shove them back inside my bag, and zip it closed.

Kevin rushes to the bed and places his bag on it. He placed the cookies inside and took out the tickets, which I allowed him to look after. "I've had enough of this vacation. I'm going home."

"Yeah, it's time to go." I agree softly.

We hear footsteps nearing the door and share a look before we both look towards the TV remote. Kevin reaches for it and presses play just as the door is pushed open, and the woman, Cedric, Concierge, another man and security burst in.

"Hold it right there!" The man on the TV says.

"This is the Concierge, sir!"

Kevin presses play. "I knew it was you. I could smell you getting off the elevator. You were here last night, too, weren't you?"

"Yes, sir. I was." The Concierge admits.

Kevin presses play. "You were here, and you were smooching with my brother."

"Bu—I'm afraid you're mistaken, sir." The Concierge denies it.

Kevin presses play. "Don't give me that. You've been smooching with everybody. Snuffy, Al, Leo, Little Moe with the gimpy leg...Cheeks, Boney Bob, Cliff..."

I hear the security man let out a gasp. "No! It's a lie!"

Kevin presses play. "I could go on forever, baby."

"I'm terribly sorry, sir. But I'm afraid you're mistaken. We're looking for a young man and woman." The Concierge says.

Kevin and I share a smile before Kevin presses play. "All right, I believe you...but my Tommy gun don't." They all let out gasps. "Get down on your knees and tell me you love me."

"On your knees." The Concierge says. I hear movement before I hear him clear his throat. "I love you!"

Kevin and I glance and let out a quiet laugh. Kevin lifts his head and presses play. "You gotta do better than that!"

"I love you!" They all say at the same time.

Kevin presses play, picks up his bag, and we run to the door to the left of us. We sneak out while they are distracted by the video playing on TV. It isn't long before we hear gunfire. We stop and look to see the four of them lying on the ground in front of the door, heads lowered and their arms placed over it. "Merry Christmas, you filthy animal." Kevin mouths before we walk through the fire escape door. There is more gunfire, and Kevin pops his head back and mouths the words once more. "And a happy new year."

We share a look before we run down the fire escape stairs to the bottom without stopping.
