"It would be nice if your sister, Vivienne Garrett, could come to London and attend the wedding." Miss Parr replied.

"Why Vivienne?" Clift wondered.

"You two seem close enough..." Violet shrugged. "Aside from myself, yourself and the celebrant conducting the civil marriage procedures, we would need two witnesses... My brother Leopold could be one and I thought your sister Vivienne should be the other."

Clift nodded. "I will speak with Vivienne and see if she can make it. When do you propose we finalise the marriage procedures though?"

"Monday, next week..."

"Violet! That's only six days away!"

"I want the marriage to be completed before I enter into my second month."

"Let's first wait and see if you are pregnant for sure first-"

"I am." Violet interrupted. "I visited the family doctor on my way back to my apartment."

Clift stood there for a while, realising what he's gotten himself into.

As soon as Clift Garrett left Miss Parr's apartment, Leopold Parr came out of the dining room. "So he has agreed has he?" Leopold asked.

"I am sure you heard him as clearly as I did, sticking your ear to the dining room door like that!" Violet mused.

"How do you know I was doing that?" Leopold wondered.

"How do you know I was doing that?" Leopold wondered.

Violet continued. "You seem to forget that we grew up together Leopold. At any rate, Clift has turned out to be the gentleman I expected him to be."

"His friend... Makensie..." Leopold wondered. "She sure is pretty... he said she supported him in that."

"Leave it to Mak to make Clift see sense. Besides, she always had a stronger connection to him that I ever did." Violet removed her overcoat. "With us it was always physical attraction more than anything else."

Leopold walked up to his sister. "I am glad you dodged that bullet... it would have been a perfect scandal if the daughter of Sir Albert Parr should be found pregnant and single at once!"

"Let's have some dinner instead of talking about what could have been." Violet decided and she went into the dining room, with Leopold trailing behind her.

Meanwhile, back at DPI, ctown was at his desk growing more impatient by the minute.

He looks over at Makensie, as she just woke up from her little nap.

"Did you get your rest?", ctown said, sarcastically.

Makensie, who wasn't the most friendliest when she first woke, said, in a dry tone, "Sure did"

He shakes his head, and said, "Where are your friends?"

"I haven't a clue, ctown. I didn't bring my crystal BALL with me this time to tell me what is going on", she said, sarcastically.

ctown looks at her, and says, "Hmmmm.....a bit bitey. So, when you first came in here...you looked a bit...."

Just as he said that, the door flew open, and in rushed Clift.

ctown looks quickly toward him, and smiles, again, in a dry manner, saying, "Welllll, Mr Garrett, you decided to join us!! Where are the other ones?"

Clift looked at Makensie, then back at ctown, and said, "Violet is home, and I have no idea where Ace is at"

"This is just great! Lil is missing, and here we are acting like a bunch of clowns. We haven't got anywhere!!", ctown said, who was abnormally upset. Usually he is the funny one, always cutting up , but this time, he is very tense, and not too friendly.

Makensie stands up, and says, "ctown now just cool it! I dont care if you ARE my Director...quit being such a creep"

She couldn't believe she just said that, but, with the past situation happening with Clift, and everything else, she about had it.

"You are lucky that I like you and you are one of my best Officers in the agency. Now, do we wait for everyone? Or do we continue on. Let me decide here"

As he walked to his desk, Clift walked over to where Makensie was.

"Mak...", Clift began.

She held her hand up, and put her finger to his mouth, and said, "Shhh, don't say it"

*more*

Clift took her hand from his mouth, and said, "I know what you THINK I am going to say, but this is what I want to say...I don't regret what happened, and I will leave it at that"

She smiled, as her face grew red, and said, "Likewise, Clift"

ctown stands up, and says, "Don't let me ruin your moment here, but, I think we should wait for the others. I am sending Barnabas out after them. You two aren't going ANYWHERE. For some reason, when you people leave, you dont return until many hours later, so stay put. BARNABAS!!!", he hollers, as he walks out the door.

Makensie said, "Well, I guess we may as well sit back and relax, while we wait. My office is right down the hall, come on, lets go have us a drink, and talk about this case. I suppose its time we think about our work right now, and let other things go for now, huh?"

She looks at him, and smiles, as he follows behind her.

As he is walking, he thinks, This woman that I love...how am I going to tell her that I decided to marry Violet, just for names sake? He knows it wont be a permanent marriage, and it isnt a marriage of love, but, still, he is going to have a tough time telling her.

Makensie looks behind her, & says, "Hurry up slow poke! Penny for your thoughts?", and she winks.

Oh boy, he thinks. He decides he won't tell her right now, but maybe later on in the day he will, when they get another chance to talk.

As they start to enter Makensie's office, ctown walks back up the steps, and says, "I sent Barnabas off to gather the others, so, be back at my office in an HOUR! Got that?", and walked to his office.

Makensie opens her door, as they enter, and says, "He never is like that. Excuse his rudeness"

Clift chuckles, and said, "No worries"

Makensie shut the door, grabs them a drink, & they talk of general things. Which felt nice.

As she listened to him talk, and laugh, she thought about how much she loved him, and how wonderful his smile was.

Barnabas suddenly entered the room as they were talking.

He explained to them that Tony Masters was nowhere to be found and that Violet Parr had left London a few hours ago on her way to Canterbury where she would meet with her parents.

Miss Parr had left two letters behind: one for Director Ctown and one for Mr. Clift Garrett.

Barnabas had just come from Ctown's office. Ctown had just left the headquarters of DPI with the company of some police officers after reading Miss Parr's letter.

Apparently the Podiatrist was right in what he told Mak and Clift. Lillian Angel disappeared whilst on her way to the Eastern Triads.

The Tea Merchant was a contact of Miss Parr who informed her that Lillian was being held in the Tea Merchant's Shop in the Eastern Triad's quarters.

Clift and Mak jumped from their seats ready for action.

As they put on their coats and readied to leave, Barnabas handed Clift his letter from Miss Violet Parr.

Clift read the letter quickly.

It was only a few written lines.

In it there was a time, place and a short message:


"Porchester Hall, Wednesday, October 7th, 1936.
Dress formal. Miss Vivienne Garrett must attend as witness."

Ace had been running around doing a lot of work on this case. This, stupid case, he thought. Ace wasn't sure how he'd gotten caught up in this mess, "In fact, how am I caught up in this incredible dramatic saga that these people call life?", he thought as he rode to DPI in a taxi," I mean, Mak can't decide, Clift can't decide, Violet is pregnant..."

"Oooh, wait..." He thought, "I'm not supposed to know that. Yet, it's so obvious. All the secrecy between Clift and Violet, Clift sending me off to talk to Violet so he can have time alone with Mak, Violet scaring me... I tell ya, no woman has ever scared me more than that Violet Parr since I was eight and mother was pregnant with Danny. And then, that night they had when S went missing... Clift must've done it there..."

Ace's mind was zipping every which way... except in the direction of Lillian Angel. Ace really couldn't focus on this case, especially when he knew so little about it.

The work Ace had done since he left Violet was a lot, though. He found a note at Lil's office that had evidently been attached to that rock. Handwriting was left handed, apparently coming from a stressed female. But, boy, did it ever take him a long time just to find that out.

In the trash, he also found some twine that had apparently been used to tie the note to the rock in Lil's trash can. He also established that the rock would have been very out of place at the base of the building, meaning someone hadn't just scribbled a message on a piece of paper and tied it to a random rock. They actually used a rock from somewhere else.

As a matter of fact, the rock seemed to be stained with sea salt. Why would a rock have traces of sea salt unless it was from the sea? So, apparently, the rock must've come from the beach or something like that.

Finally, after quite a bit of tracking, Ace concluded that the rock could only have come from the Curracloe beach in Ireland. Interesting... a rock from Ireland turning up in London...

Ace knew he would be two hours late in arriving at ctown's, but that ctown would be fairly contect with the findings.

"Ahh, the missing Ace. You have finally decided to show your face?" ctown was well, rather upset.
"Missing? Hardly." Ace stated bluntly, "I've been working on the case, but tracking that rock down took two hours in itself... that's why I'm so dreadfully late."

Ace showed ctown his findings and, needless to say, ctown found them very interesting.

After hours of talking, or what seemed to be, Makensie stands up, and says, "Well, should we go to ctown's office now, and see if anyone has showed up yet?"

She walked a few steps, then staggered back a bit, feeling light headed. Clift hurried to her, and put his arm around her, and says, "Mak, whoa, are you ok?"

She chuckles lightly, and says, "Yeah, wow, I dont know what came over me. That drink must've went right to my head"

"Are you sure you don't need to relax a minute before we go to your Director's office", Clift asked, with concern. In the back of his mind, he was thinking, Oh man, please not let this be what it looks like.

She waved him off, and says, "Oh, don't be silly. I am fine. Lets go"

"Very well, then. After you", he says.

They walk to ctown's office, and walk in.

There they find Ace showing ctown, what looked to be, a rock.

"Ace! There you are!", Makensie said, with a smile. She was very happy to see him.

Ace smiles, and said, "Yup! It is me...the one and only"

He looks over at Clift, then back at Makensie, and looking back at Clift, he says, "Hey there Clift"

Clift nods, and returns the greeting, as they let Ace explain what he found.

As he tried to pay attention, Clift couldn't help thinking of Makensie's light headed spell back in her office, and his upcoming wedding, that he really wasn't looking forward to, and even more so, the fact that he has to tell Makensie about it, as well.

He shook his head of thoughts for now, and tuned back into what Ace was saying..

....and let me tell you, this wasn't easy to find", Ace was saying, excitedly.

Hours later...

Some hours later Ctown and Mak were hugging Lillian Angel in a group hug, all very happy that she is fine after all.

They were all at the Tea Merchant's shop.

The leads found by Clift, Mak, Violet & Ace all led to the Eastern Triads, and Ctown had called the authorities.

Together with the police, Ace, Mak, Clift & Ctown all went to the Tea Merchants shop and found Lillian Angel tied up in one of the room of the building.

Lilangel could not remember exactly who kidnapped her, but the police were on it and the team were glad she was safe.

Ctown decided to walk Lillian back to DPI Headquarters.


Mak, Clift and Ace decided to walk home.

Clift was happy for the walk since he needed to clear his head. Whilst Ace and Mak were chatting throughout about the intensity of it all, and how the final rescue of Lillian Angel went exactly according to plan, Clift was silent.

He was thinking about it all: His upcoming marriage to Miss Parr. He needed to send Vivienne a telegram, telling her to come to London immediately, after all the wedding was only a week away.

He also could not help but wonder about the possibility of Mak being pregnant due to her actions.

"Two children within only one month of each other... that should be interesting," he thought.

{Porchester Hall, London}


Miss Violet Parr wore a plum gown for the occasion.

She was standing next to Mr. Clift Garrett before the Minister in charge of administrating the wedding proceedings and legal arrangements of the Ceremony at Porchester Hall.

Also present at the Wedding Ceremony were Sir Albert Parr and Lady Madhuri Parr, Violet’s parents, along with four of Violet’s six brothers including Leopold Parr.

Miss Vivienne Garrett, Clift’s sister had just made it to the Ceremony.

The wedding did not actually take place on the 7th of October, but rather ten days later on the 16th for it took much longer than anticipated to obtain the marriage license from the appropriate register office.

The Minister conducting the civil marriage read the marriage license out several times before asking both Violet and Clift for their consent.

Leopold Parr and Vivienne Garrett then signed as witnesses to the civil ceremony.

Clift and Violet finally kissed one another on the lips and though everyone around cheered and was happy, the two of them had very indifferent looks on their faces.
