Just a mini fic for the holiday.

"I fell into this rather grimy creek I was pulled down stream. Poor Donald thought I accomplished this on purpose and he tried to follow me. That's when I figured out a weakness this well-rounded agent could not swim." Raymond Reddington was sitting at an end of a table smiling while he recalled his story.

A Mutter was heard from the table and was ignored by all. "I know how to swim."

"The creek lead to a small village which apparently it was quite common strangers would wash up-"

He was interrupted by another person. "Wait, Red fell into a river on accident . It wasn't planned?"

Red scoffed, he was offended by the correct assumption. "It was planned Lizzy."

She smiled when she looked over to his friend. "Dembe is shaking his head to disagree with you-"

"Traitor"

"-And you said Ressler thought you jumped into the river on purpose, which implies you fell into the river by accident and went with the flow, literally."

Reddington looked around the table while pointing to Lizzy while talking to the others. "Can someone remove the profiler, she's ruining my stories?"

Liz raised an eyebrow. "Really, if you don't watch it, I'll tell Ressler the name of your cat."

Red scoffed at her devious plan. "Oh please, It's only the name Dembe and you came up with."

Ressler voiced a question. "Reddington has a cat?"

Dembe nodded again. "Yes Raymond does."

Aram, who was soaked up in his phone, attention was caught by hearing the crimnal who intimidated him had a cat. Red having a cat made him seem less intimating at the moment. "Does the cat have a mini fedora?"

Liz, Aram and Ressler all looked to Reddington for the answer. "Mr. Cattington, does NOT have a hat."

Dembe smiled, calling his friend on his lie he said, "Yes he does."

Ressler was dumbfounded by all the information where he was almost speechless. "Cattington?"

Aram was trying not to laugh while Liz was losing it. Dembe was only smirking. it seemed like red was pouting and when liz looked at the man to see he was pouting she went right back to laughing.

Red only continued to pout. "Of course pick on a cat owner. we found out Donald can not swim and yet-"

Ressler was the one to cut Red off. "Oh just shut up Reddington and eat your damn turkey." Needless to say this was a unique and quite strange Thanksgiving.
