CHIU’S MANOR
She had the sweetest dream that she’s ever dreamt, everyone could tell by the smile on her face. Mia slept peacefully and at certain times, she would giggle out loud making Darren raise his brows in wonder. His eyes moved over to Erin and Brad who had long ago joined him when he was trying to wake Mia. Instead the three of them knelt to the floor and concentrated on Mia’s expressions.
At one time, Darren’s face got so close that she could feel the body heat. In a millisecond, her eyes snapped open, there was a startled look and then a cry “AHH!!!”
Darren jumped back falling on his butt, he patted his chest while taking deep breaths “Mia…you were dreaming.” He explained.
She smiled apologetically and slowly turned to Erin and Brad “You two were staring at me too?”
Erin stifled a smile as she nodded “Hey, what were you dreaming about? You kept giggling and then you smiled a few times.” She sat down on the bed while Mia sat up, the covers still over her legs.
Mia seemed to be smiling to herself “Promise you won’t tell?” the three nodded “Pinky swear!” she pulled out her pinky and made everyone join in with her. When they did, she smiled with satisfaction “I had a dream that Darren and I got married and then Brad proposed to you.” She finished with her finger on Erin.
Erin laughed after a moment of trying to contain herself then Brad and Darren joined in causing Mia’s smile to fade. Her lips formed into a pout “Awww…it’s okay sweetheart.” Darren started “It’s cute that you want to get married already. But we’re not registered for the church until next year.”
“Plus…Brad and I just started dating, there’s no way he would propose so soon.” Erin nodded to Brad who was quick to agree.
Mia scratched her head “Well…I guess I should have figured it was a dream the moment Brad proposed to you, it was too romantic and you know what a doofus Brad is when it comes to affection.”
Brad narrowed his eyes at her “What is that suppose to mean?”
There was a smirk on her face as she looked up at him “Aww…I’m sorry, I guess you don’t speak human language. Let me find another doofus to answer your question.” She pretended to look around and then landed her eyes on Darren “Honey pie….could you explain to him?” Mia asked innocently causing Erin to laugh again. She got up and pulled Erin with her to the door and before she left, she turned to the boys “When you guys are done, come down and help us with the barbeque.”
The guys looked dumbfounded as Brad stuttered to give her a comeback “Well…I feel sorry for your boyfriend!” The girls rolled their eyes and walked away while Darren lowered his head and shook it.
“That’s the best you can do?” Darren looked up with disappointment.
“Well, I don’t see you eager to give a comeback. She still called you a doofus.” Brad pointed out.
Darren laughed “Yeah, but she called you that first.” He got up and Brad followed.
They were having a lunch barbeque at Darren’s mansion and they invited the other members of the P.R.A. It’s been a slow month for the group as they had little contact with Joe. There were no new assignments for them. The girls were cutting up veggies for the salad while the guys sat in the patio and drank beer. When the doorbell rang around noon, the girls were scrambling to get the meat and chicken together.
Mia could hear their laughter from the patio where they refused to get up. She turned to Erin as the girls nodded, they both picked up a glass of ice water and walked out to the boys, hiding it behind their backs “Honey…can you get the door?” Mia asked sweetly.
Darren looked up with a surprised look “But you’re closer, why can’t you get it?”
“Because we’re busy cooking.” Erin pointed out, she bent down to where Brad was sitting “Would you like to help?” she raised her brows.
Brad took a gulp of his beer and shook his head “No…not really, but thanks for asking.”
Erin looked up at Mia as she slowly stood up, the girls nodded and exposed the glass of ice water but it was too late for the guys to run, the water poured from their head and Mia was sure to get some ice into Darren’s shirt “Your welcome.” Erin said sweetly while Mia giggled evilly. The girls went to open the door and found Doug and Jessie along with Joe standing there looking at them strangely.
“What took you so long?” Joe asked.
“Oh…we had to help the guys cool off.” Mia nodded and Erin was laughing along with her after a few seconds.
The three were led to the back patio where the other two guys were standing there soaking wet. Darren was jumping up and down trying to get the ice out of his shirt. Jessie frowned “I didn’t know you had a pool, Darren.”
Mia crossed her arms and snickered “He doesn’t.”
“Now do you guys want to help?” Erin asked sternly.
Like a flash of lightning, Joe and Doug both grabbed the salad and meat as they raced each other outside with the wet boys “Don’t you guys ever learn not to mess with women?” Doug muttered on his way out.
Darren laughed “There’s three of them and four of us…we can take them.” He said to the girls and by the time he turned to his boys, they were already cooking and setting up the back porch table.
The three girls stood their with their arms crossed, Mia cleared her throat “Ahem, I didn’t quite hear what you said?”
Erin smiled slyly “Could you repeat that please? I couldn’t hear it from the loud man roars that your teammates were making.”
“I have a bad ear…” Jessie concluded as she touched her ear.
Darren knew defeat when he smelled it, he brought out a hand to Mia “Give me the utensils.” Mia happily obliged as she gave him the box of plastic utensils and he walked out with a slump on his back and began working with the guys.
After 15 minutes of sitting on the lawn chairs, the girls were looking very bored. Mia snapped her finger at Darren “Hey…boy, can you get a soda, I’m so thirsty.”
Erin smiled as she watched Brad stumble to hold the clamper at the barbeque. Joe was trying hard to teach him how to hold it right. She got up and walked over to him and took it from his hand “We don’t have all day to teach you how to hold it. Why don’t you go help Doug with the drinks?”
Brad hugged her from behind and gave her a kiss on the cheek “You’re the best!!” he rushed off and threw Mia a dirty look.
“Traitor!!!” Mia cried at Erin who threw her a grin.
Joe was setting up the meats while Erin flipped the ribs and chicken “So…I hear Brad asked you to move in.”
Erin smiled “Yeah.”
“But you didn’t answer him yet?” Joe pressed.
“I’m still thinking.” Erin said shortly. She wasn’t sure she would be able to handle living with a roommate “It’s a tough adjustment for me. Plus we just started dating, I just feel like it’s moving too fast.”
“Did you tell him that?” Joe was concerned with his top agents, if they got along then the team will work much better.
Erin shook her head “No, I’m afraid that he’ll be hurt.” Joe let out a sigh and she instantly knew what he was thinking “Don’t worry, I’ll tell him when we get a moment alone.”
Soon, the other four were lining up with their plates ready. Mia was actually last in line and Darren was first but he pointed to the spot in front of him and she cut in “I’d like a well done chicken please.” Erin gave her a chicken leg and Mia frowned “Can I get a breast?”
“Just one? Wouldn’t it be better if you had two?” Doug blurted out causing the line to laugh humorously.
Mia snapped her head around and Darren quickly hid his smile. He turned to Doug “Don’t pick on Mia or you’ll pay for it!” he threatened.
Satisfied that her boyfriend stood up for her, Mia nodded with a smile and turned back to Erin who was busy picking out the breast for her. Darren took his chance as he pulled his hand back and Doug gave him a ‘low five’. Jessie saw it as she dropped her jaw “Aw!! You-” her mouth was quickly covered by Brad who stood behind her.
Mia and Erin turned to the guys “What are you guys doing?” they caught Brad covering Jessie's mouth.
He quickly let go of Jessie “Nothing…just playing.” Brad laughed nervously while Jessie shook her head at the girls.
The group sat together at the table and chatted while they enjoyed their food. Suddenly Joe received a call on his cell phone. He quickly wiped his hands and answered the call, suddenly his face turned serious and he raised a hand at the group. They quickly quieted down as he nodded “Yes, we’ll be there.” He hung up and turned to them “Come on, we’ve got a job.”
Everyone cleaned their hands hastily while Mia sat still “I’m hungry…” she whined.
“Take this, it’ll hold you over.” Erin gave her a half eaten drumstick.
Mia knew she was outsmarted as she got up “Fine…I know…I know, work is more important than my starvation.” She cleaned her hands and they quickly moved out.
The team met up at headquarters, each of their badges logging them into the electronic alarm system. The metal doors slid open to the side and they were inside the secret room. Joe led them to the conference room, which was made out of metal and the glass was bulletproof, put in for their protection. It was completely soundproof from the outside. The chairs were swivel and made from the best leather. The wall facing the seats had a large hidden screen that appeared at push of a control from Joe’s hand. He pressed a button and a picture of a white buildng showed up “Terrorists have taken over the Tak Insane Asylum. They have held the nurses, doctors as well as the patients hostage. Asking for 5 million dollars and a helicopter to help them escape. The entire S.W.A.T. team have surrounded them. There’s no way they can get out. But they can't negotiate because the Terrorist wants them at least a mile away.”
“How did they escape from prison?” Brad asked curiously.
Joe turned to him with a smile “You’ll get a kick out of this. A plastic knife they used to cut the roast beef. It was dinner time and one guy reached over and grabbed it out of the server’s hand. They stabbed a police guard and took over the prison. The held him hostage until they got to the closest closed facilities…the insane asylum.”
“Isn’t that the same one Reina was locked up in?” Erin asked.
Mia nodded “I was thinking the same thing.”
“You’re right, Erin. It is.” Joe nodded “Our job…contain the terrorists and hope that they have not killed anyone yet.” He closed out the screen as it sunk into the wall. He quickly noticed Mia’s grin “You have something to say? Just get it out of your system.” He pointed out.
Her grin grew until it was showing all her teeth as she stood up “I just want to thank our donators to the wonderfully new equipment that are so high tech, it’s cool.” She turned to Darren and bowed “Thank you, filthy rich man.”
Despite the seriousness of their mission, the team joined together in a laugh before they changed into their uniforms. They took the same van while Joe stayed back and did the controls with the three screens set out in front of him “Brad, you take two with you through the back exit, it’s open according to our sources.”
“Hey…why don’t you ever tell us who the sources are?” Mia asked.
“Because its for Joe to know and for you NOT to find out.” Doug quipped.
Joe cleared his throat “Stay on your toes team. They have guns and we don’t. Everyone have your bulletproof vests on?”
“Yes, Sir.” They replied in unison.
