feeling every bit the protectiveness, that the squeeze was supposed to mean.

Life is a funny thing, and how everything happens, she thinks. Her life was definitely full of surprises...and confusion.....she chuckles silently to herself, then says, "Where to now?"

She was starting to feel aggravated because she couldn't get any lead on Lil's whereabouts.

Makensie said, "Lets try going to the Podiatrist to see when the last time he seen her. They are good friends"

"Lead the way", he said, with a soft smile, as he keeps his hand on the small of her back.

As they continued to walk through Hyde Park to reach the Podiatrist, Clift suddenly pulled Mak behind a bunch of trees and bushes.

Clift could not help but pull Mak into the covered area. He grabbed her waist tightly and started kissing her very passionately and she was frozen with surprise at his passion. "Clift, we're on the case, remember?" She told him out of breath.

Clift replied. "I know, but let me just have this moment, Mak." Clift continued kissing her and pressed his hard body against hers. "I do love you, Mak..." He smiled. "It was always you...Violet's charm is irresistable, but my bond with her is not comparable with the bond we share."

He continued to kiss her as the sun set.

***

It was 9:00 p.m. when they got to the Podiatrist, 4 hours since the sun set. Clift and Mak had spent this time on the lush greenery of the grass in total privacy.

The Podiatrist did have something to say about Lillian Angel.

He'd seen Lil on her way to the Eastern Triads, she needed some information from them. He warned her about being too forward, but that was the last he'd seen of her.

"Ctown!" Mak suddenly shrieked. "He said three hours and it has been four!"

"Violet!" Clift suddenly remembered. "She still needs an answer from me about the pregnancy situation."

Mak turned to him, "I am off to DPI... Meet me there with Violet and Ace when you find them!"

With that she was off.

She was feeling clumsy as she ran all the way to DPI. "Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god", she was saying out loud to herself, as she ran.

Makensie knew that she was dead meat when she stepped into ctown's office. Not that he wasn't an understanding Director, but, business was business, and he kept a strict reign when it came to that.

She rushed into DPI, still not able to get over what happened between her and Clift, but not regretting it one bit either. In fact, she felt pretty good about it.

Rushing into ctown's office, noone was there, but ctown. She doubled over trying to catch her breath, as she barely said, "Sorry"

"I'm glad everyone listens to what I say", he said, visibly upset.

Makensie, still trying to catch her breath, says, "I'm so...."

"Doesn't matter now, what kept you for so long. Now where are the others?", he said, cutting her off, looking at her closely.

She said, stumbling over her words a bit, "They will be here"

He nods, still upset, as he sits down at his desk.

"You may as well have a seat then, until they get here", he said.

So, she did. She thumbed through a magazine, lost in her own thoughts of earlier with Clift,as they waited.

How can I possibly concentrate on this case now?, she thinks to herself. All she could think about was Clift.

Then Ace entered her mind....she sighed, as she put her head back against the sofa, then before she knew it, she drifted off to sleep.

Clift found Violet in her apartment alone.

She had left the Tea Merchant's Shop some hours ago and Ace had left to go home as well.

"May I come in?" Clift wondered.

Violet smiled and opened the door. "Please do."

"Does anyone know yet?" Clift wondered.

"That I am with child?" Violet arched an eyebrow. "Just you, Miss Rochelle, and I assume Miss Brewer..."

"Yes, I told Mak," Clift answered. "She thinks I should stand by you and agree to marriage... which is what I'm prepared to do. But we will do it as agreed. The marriage shall be annulled once the baby comes. You know I am not the marrying type..."

Violet pressed her lips, "Right then, the sooner we are wed the better."

"Please, something quick and quiet Violet." Clift said as he prepared to leave. "I will also help with funds for the child. I know you do not need it, being an officer at the Sirens, but I would like to be the father at least in that sense and share the responsibility of raising the child."

Violet nodded slightly in agreement.

"Vi," Clift turned at the door. "Do you need anything before I go...?"

"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"

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.
