The Plan

"Ok everyone, listen up." Scott said in an attempt to get his family to listen. "Guys" he tried again.

"GUYS!"

Everyone around the table turned to face him. They were all there to plan Caitlin's birthday party, she would be turning 16 in 2 months and as it was her first birthday with them, the whole family wanted it to be perfect.

The girl herself was staying with Lady Penelope for the weekend so that the party would be a complete surprise. She did know that Martin and his band were coming to stay at the island for that weekend but that was it. She definitely didn't know that he was in on the surprise.

"First things first, what cake are we getting?" Scott asked as he readied his tablet to make notes.

"I remember her saying that chocolate was her favourite. With white chocolate icing?" John suggested, " besides, everyone likes chocolate. Right?"

"Perfect," Scott added it to a list he was starting. " Ok, so next is entertainment."

Everyone had to think hard about that, Caitlin really didn't like noise so they would have to be careful.

"Wait!" Alan jumped up a smile, "couldn't we ask Martin if he and the band can bring their instruments? Caitlin told me that she's always wanted to sing with them." he asked while remembering a conversation from a few weeks ago.

"Wouldn't that be too much noise for her?" Virgil asked.

"She's been in the same room as them before without breaking down," Alan replied, still thinking of the same conversation. "They know her limit better than we do after all."

"I say why not." Grandma Tracy put in. " After all, I don't know about you boys but I'd very much like to hear this band."

"Me too. They seem to play my kind of music." Kayo agreed.

Scott finally gave in. "Fine. I'll call them up first thing tomorrow"

Meanwhile, in rural England ...

"Now keep the one h'in your left hand still and move the one h'in your right until you 'ear a click."

Caitlin followed Parker's instructions from the other side of the locked door

"Got it. Now what?"

"And what on earth are you two up to?"

Caitlin froze. Lady Penelope stood right behind her, arms folded at her chest.

"I'm teaching Miss Caitlin how to pick locks m'lady" came a calm voice from the other side of he door. "We cracked a couple of combination lock this morning."

"Oh I see. Do carry on but please remember that you need to be in bed soon." At that she left, Caitlin completely confused.

"Right then. Where were we?"
