*she hangs hundreds of multicolored balloons and streamers around the large ballroom with help from Scarlett and Autumn*

Helium balloons litter the ceiling and air filled balloons speckle the floor. Spot lights dance as the phonograph saturates the room with sounds from Glenn Miller

*she sings along as she fixes a banner to the ceiling that reads, “Happy One Year, Reda”*

“Cool it in the summer breeze, serve it in the starlight underneath the trees….”

*climbs down the ladder, still singing, after hanging the banner to supervise the delivery of two very large, tiered cakes, almost as tall as she is*

“You’ll discover tricks like these are sure to make a moonlight cocktail please”

*places two large punch bowls out on either end of each of the 3 buffet tables, as well as rolling in carts of cups to be placed on the tables as needed*


*stands back with Scarlett and Autumn and hopes that she didn’t forget anything as the caterers finish lining the tables with overflowing plates of food*

I slipped in and leaned against the wall, hat pulled low over my eyes as I scanned the room. There was a growing mob of people around the punch bowl so I pulled out my trusty silver flask. I wouldn't try to shove my way through that crowd, besides the punch was probably spiked, and with the good stuff too. I'd been drinking cheap rot gut for so long my insides wouldn't know what to think if I drank anything that wasn't a buck a bottle. Luckily I'd filled my flask with Shanghai Surprise before I left the office.

Yeah they were all here, all the big name detectives packed like sardines into one room. I stayed close to the door in case some low life like Lenny the Leech got wind of this shindig and decided crash the party with fifty of his closest thugs. All it would take was a quick finger on a Tommy gun and this places would be the biggest crime scene the city had ever seen.

I spotted Crosey right in the middle of the crowd, he was hard to miss with that shining bald head. I wondered if he waxed it. Probably.

And then I saw her, the dame in the wide brimmed hat. Yeah, I knew the type, smart, nosey and legs that would turn a saint into sinner. The kind of woman that got men into trouble. I touched the brim of my hat, sliding it down lower over my eyes and stayed right were I was, holding up the wall.

After a good ten minutes of watching I spoke up "happy birthday Reda" then slipped unnoticed out into the busy street.

Someone had to do some work around here, and that someone was me.

Yeah, I heard that banshee yell all the way down the block. Ok, Croesy was a chrome dome dame with a screeching voice that would break glass.

I made a mental note to myself to send her some flowers as an apology. Maybe some flowers and a hat. Or a hat with flowers on it.

(Ooops! I'm sooo sorry! For some reason I thought you were a guy :o()

*autumn sees scarlett go for her 4th cup of punch.*
"it's about time for the fun to begin..." she thinks as scarlett starts swaying her hips in time with the music. "she's just about there."
*sees scarlett has emptied the cup*
*walks over*
"Scarett, would you like me to get you a refill??" she asks sweetly.
"yesh pleash" scarlett replies, her words slurring a bit.
"be back in a jiffy!" autumn replies cheerily.

*brings scarlett a new cup of punch*
*scarlett, swigs it down*
*Music changes from slow and moody to a cheerful jig*
Scarlett lifts her skirts slightly and starts dancing hoe-down style, stamping her feet loudly.
"let the games begin" autumn thinks as she checks her camera.

DaRu enters the room, excited over being given a special invitation to come to Reda's birthday party. She walks over and hands Reda a red rose and says congradulations then sings aloud the traditional birthday song, as she lifts her glass to make a toast to Reda: "HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR REDA, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU.....AND MANY MORE.

Reda my dear, I hope I'm here to help you celebrate many more BD's to come. Good luck Detective Reda, as you crack each case, and put those crminals in their place. Oh yes, if you ever need backup, let me know...hehe.
