“Hi-llo Everyone.”
“Rain?! What are you doing here?” Raymond questions as everyone acknowledges her.
“Hmm… let’s see now, we’ve been working here for four months, and you still ask me why I come here every time,” she teases, as she puts a pile of folders onto Raymond’s desk.
Raymond, embarrassed, “Well, it’s just a habit.”
“You’re just lucky I find that cute,” Rain teases, “Where’s your girlfriend?”
“Michelle?”
Rain giggles, “I never knew you had more than one girlfriend?! I should ask Michelle about that.”
“What are you talking about…” but before Raymond could finish, Kwok Sir and Michelle walks into the department.
Michelle, noticing Rain by Raymond’s side, “Rain?”
“Hey Michelle, Kwok Sir.”
“You have another file for me?” Kwok Sir questions, “It seems like your always here. Sometimes I wonder if you’re here for me or for Raymond,” he teases, not knowing the effect of his comment.
“Kwok Sir, you shouldn’t have said that,” Eileen cautions, “Now you’re going to get Raymond in trouble with Michelle.”
“Yes,” Mark agrees, “We all know how petty woman are.”
“What are you talking about,” Eileen, insulted, crumples a wad of paper and throws it at Mark.
“Of course not!” Rain pretends to be disgusted, “I’m always here for Michelle,” she explains as she goes to take Michelle’s arm, “and Michelle knows that.”
Michelle smiles, uncomfortably, in return, as Raymond, embarrassed by Kwok Sir, turns away, not noticing Michelle’s discontent.
“Yes, yes, we all know that you and Raymond are as clean as pure water,” Kwok Sir explains. “Now what do you have to give me, let’s go in my office.”
“Okey dokes,” follows Rain into Kwok Sir’s office.
Raymond, who now notices Michelle’s discomfort as she stays standing, “Rain was just here…”
“It’s alright, I understand,” Michelle tries to brush it off, and smiles understandingly.
“See what an understanding girlfriend you have Raymond. You should feel lucky,” Uncle Kuk suggests.
“Of course,” Raymond reassures, as he gets up from his seat, and takes Michelle’s hand as he gives her a reassuring smile, causing Michelle to forget about the comment and just feel the comfort of his smile.
“Aww… look at that,” Eileen gushes, “If a guy would do that to me in front of a group of people, I would just die for him.”
“Too bad no one’s willing to do that for you,” Mark teases, causing everyone, even Michelle to laugh.
Just then Rain and Kwok Sir walks out from Kwok Sir’s office, “I’ll get it back to you by tomorrow morning,” Kwok Sir was finishing up.
“Okay.”
“Mark,” Kwok Sir directs Mark’s way, “I have to go to a meeting, so take charge here while I’m gone.”
“Yes Sir,” Mark replies.
“Hey, are you going to leave now or are you going to stay here for the rest of the day,” Kwok Sir mocks Rain.
“I’m going la,” Rain retorts, as she grabs the rest of her folders off Raymond’s desk. In the rush of the moment of being teased again, Rain drops her Pucca and Garu key chain unknowingly. “Let’s go.”
Uncle Kuk laughs as they watch Rain clumsily carry the folders out the room with Kwok Sir assisting her. “That girl has got to be one of the world’s silliest girl.”
“You’re right about that,” Mark agrees, laughingly.
“That’s nothing,” Raymond adds in, catching Michelle’s attention. “That’s one of her normal moments,” he comments grinning to himself.
Just as Michelle was taking the comment to heart, “Hey, you want to go out to lunch together,” Raymond softly asks, “Just the two of us this time.”
Michelle smiles, “Doesn’t matter,” she tries to answer casually.

“Hey where’s Raymond and Michelle? I thought they were gonna come out to lunch with us too?” Patrick asks, as he approaches Rain and Alex at the coffee table of Dream’s Café. “Did you not tell them?”
Rain sighs, “No wonder you haven’t gotten a girlfriend yet.”
“What’s that suppose to mean?” Patrick asks, insulted.
“Rain means that since Raymond and Michelle are going out now, they should have some time with each other,” Alex explains.
“Meaning, without a third party,” Rain finishes. “See, at least Alex knows.”
“And that’s why he doesn’t have a girlfriend either, and is always with you,” Patrick retorts. “Hey, can you guys get three days off this Friday?” Patrick changes the topic without letting the red-faced Alex explain himself.
_____________________
“So, what did Kwok Sir call you for?” Raymond recalls, as he finishes his order.
“Oh, Kwok Sir just wanted me to help do a write-up for our last case,” Michelle explains. “I’m gonna have to spend the whole weekend and maybe nights doing the write-up.”
_____________________
“Probably, why?” Rain asks.
“Well, my uncle has a cabin up in Tin Seung, and he’s willing to let us use it since he doesn’t go up there much, and I thought we should get together, since we have all been so busy these past two months,” Patrick explains. “So how about it, up for it?”
_____________________
“It’s gonna take you that long?”
“Well, this is the first important assignment he’s given me, and if he trusts me in doing a good job, I’d don’t want to disappoint him,” Michelle explains.
_____________________
“Of course! Lately it seems to be work, work, and more work. I need a break you know,” Rain accepts. “You can get three days off, right Alex?”
“No, I don’t think I can,” Alex disappoints. “We still haven’t been able to close the case we have on right now, so it’s been overtime quite often lately.”
“Aww… that sucks,” Rain complains. “That means it’s just Patrick and me.”
“And that sucks,” Patrick pretends to be offended. “Besides, you left out Raymond and Michelle. I’ll bet they can come.”
“Oh yeah, I almost forgot about them,” Rain remembers. “They’ll come for sure.”

“Wah, it’s nice to get a break from work, even if it was only an hour,” Eileen stretches, as she repositions herself back into her seat.
“Well, after finishing up the details to this case, I’m sure we’ll get a nice break,” Mark suggests.
“We better,” Eileen relieves, “Hey, where’s Michelle, Raymond? I thought you guys were having lunch together?”
“Oh, she just went to get some info for her write-up,” Raymond explains. “The case didn’t seem that bad, did it?
“Easy for you newcomers to say,” Uncle Kuk explains. “Everything is so fresh and exciting, but for us old men, it’s back-breaking.”
Raymond grins at the comment as he turns back to his desk, accidentally knocking something off his desk. As he bends over to pick it up, he notices that it was a Pucca and Garu key chain, then recalling Rain dropping something, but not really noticing it from before.

“Where is it?!”
“What are you looking for Rain?”
“I lost my Pucca and Garu key chain. Did you see where I dropped it Angela? I’m pretty sure I had it before lunch,” Rain explains, as she continues to search for it.
“No,” Angela replies, “Maybe you dropped it as you were out for lunch. It’s probably somewhere in the office,” she suggests. “I have to go hand in a report right now, but I’ll help you keep an eye on it.”
“Thanks Angela,” Rain replies, still searching, as Angela left the room.
“Ahh!!!” Rain screams to herself, “Where did I put it?!”
“Looking for this?”
Rain turns only mid way, before the key chain appears right in front of her. “Omigosh, Pucca and Garu!” She quickly takes the key chain, and turns to see Raymond. “Raymond? Where did you find it?! I was looking all over for it,” she says, as she hugs her key chain.
“You were so clumsy, you dropped it on my desk when you came by this morning,” Raymond explains. “So what is my reward? If I hadn’t returned it to you, you would still be looking for it for the rest of the day.”
“You probably took it from me, without me noticing,” Rain retorts, “I’m not that clumsy.”
“What?! Now you’re blaming your savoir?” Raymond shocked.
Rain laughs, “Of course not, how could I. Hey, do you have any plans this weekend?”
Raymond surprised at the sudden change, “Not that I know of, why?”
“Well, Patrick said that his uncle is willing to lend us his cabin for the weekend, and he invited us to all go. Except Alex can’t come, so I was wondering if you and Michelle could come.”
“Oh, Michelle will be busy all weekend, she has to do a write-up for our case we just closed.”
“Aww… that means it’ll be just Patrick and I,” complains Rain.
“Hey, all I said was that Michelle is gonna be busy, I didn’t say I was busy,” Raymond restates, “Unless I’m not welcomed.”
“You can come?! Well, you should have made that clear,” Rain excites, “Now I don’t have to be the only one who’s gonna have to put up with Patrick.”
“Wah, talking behind his back? Aren’t you afraid that I might tell him?” Raymond grins.
Rain laughs, “I’ll have to thank you for breaking it to him,” but then turns serious, “So you don’t think that Michelle will mind that you’re coming?”
“Of course not,” Raymond explains, “We’ve only been going out for a month or so, it’s not like we’re married or anything.”
“I’m just giving you a warning, girls can be quite petty you know,” Rain grins at the comment, “Though I wouldn’t worry about Michelle on the petty part. So it’s settled then? Patrick, you and I will be going up to his uncle’s cabin this weekend.”
“Yup,” Raymond confirms.

“Where’s Raymond?” Michelle asks, as she walks back into the department, not seeing any sign of Raymond.
“Did somebody call me?”
“Well, speak of the Devil,” Uncle Kuk comments.
Raymond confused, “What?”
“No, Michelle was just asking where you were,” Mark explains.
“Yeah, I didn’t see you here, so I was just curious,” Michelle explains as Raymond and her walk back towards his desk.
“Oh, yeah, I was just returning the key chain Rain accidentally dropped on my desk,” Raymond explains, “That silly girl is always losing things and not knowing it ‘til she frantically looks for it,” Raymond smiles at the thought of Rain searching all over her desk for the key chain.
“Oh,” was Michelle’s only reply.
“Hey, I was just gonna ask you, you mentioned that you were going to be busy all weekend right?” Raymond confirms.
“Yup, why?”
“Well, Patrick invited us to go to his cabin, but I said that you were going to be busy this weekend, so I turned down the offer for you,” Raymond explains, “Is that alright?”
“Yeah, I don’t think I have time for that,” Michelle reassures, “Thanks.”
“No problem,” Raymond smiles in turn of hers.
