December 24th, Seven P.M
Please bring one neutral gift for Secret Santa
Hope to see you there ^_^
Ema set the bright red envelope down on her cluttered desk. Apollo had handed her it earlier that day but she hadn't had the chance to open it. Christmas Eve…nothing to do might as well go. She smiled absently as she continued working. She had many cases to work and so little time before she could leave so she got to work, although her mind was somewhere else.
Several Hours Later
"Finally, I'm done for the day." Ema mumbled as she grabbed her bag and went out into the cold weather. She briskly walked to a small gift shop to find her Secret Santa gift. The shop was full of the usual holiday ornaments and trinkets but in the very back corner there was a midnight blue scarf draped over a shelf. "Perfect." Ema said as she grabbed it and bought it. She walked home and put the bag in her dresser until she had time to wrap it. After that she decided to call in her RSVP.
Trucy answered. They talked for awhile. She seemed excited about it all. The girl had slipped that one other had called just before but wouldn't tell her who. After they talked a little longer she hung up. Ema had a late dinner and went to bed, ready for another day of work.
The next few days were hectic. Several crime scenes were compromised because of the growing snowfall, wind and ice. Ema haven't seen Gavin around the office lately and she was growing annoyed. He left her with most of the case files. "Glimmerious fop leaving me with all this work." she was too absorbed in her ranting to notice the hand reaching for her shoulder.
"Guten Tag, Fraulein." Ema spun around to see Gavin smiling at her. "Gavin where have you been?" he smiled again. " Why? Did you miss me?" Ema let out a laugh. "In your dreams. I'm just mad you left me with all the case work." She turned around to face the filing cabinets again. "Well guess I'll see you around. Auf Wiedersehen." He left humming a familiar tune under his breath. She realized later that he was humming her favorite French carol. Strangely enough having around didn't irritate her as much as usual. In fact she was glad he was back.
