He would not raise any alarms by being in the ARC at this odd hour, as he often was, though not for the same reasons, most of the time; regardless, he entered Abby's lab first, placing the present in a safe spot, before he continued on to other offices.
The next day was christmas, and soon enough, various ARC members exclaimed as they discovered their presents, though the delight was soon followeed by confusion, as they could not figure out who had given them exactly what they wanted.
Matt had new seeds and fertilizer for a rare sort of plant he had been wanting to grow. Emily had several novels of varying genres which she had once commented that she did not have. Abby found a new pet bed for Sid and Nancy- whom she had recently brought home - and a package of treats for Rex. Connor recieved a brand new pair of fingerless gloves, as he had bemoaned the loss of his now that the chaos had died down. Jess found a box of chocolates of varying types, and Becker a pair of tank-shaped slippers. Other employees found similar items.
In his office, hiding a smile, sat James Lester. He loved Christmas, though he would never tell a soul.
Later that evening, before he left for the day, Lester was surprised to find a large present, wrapped in garish red and green paper with a golden bow on top, sitting atop his desk as he entered to gather his things; there was no note, but Lester felt his heart warm. He really loved Christmas, and his team.
