Chapter 4
Two weeks later on the day of Ralph and Walter's birthday Paige and her son were each holding a bag or two each of things for the party. They were hiding in the shadows just around the corner of the garage, waiting for the sign that Walter had left. After they had been there for just under 10 minutes, they heard someone get in a car and drive away in the opposite direction and a second after that they heard a bird call (the signal from Toby that the coast was clear) so they ran around the corner and into the building, where they saw Happy setting up the sound system.
"Hey guys"
"Hello Ralph, happy birthday" says Toby.
"What do you say?"
"Thank you"
"Where's Sylvester?"
"I'm right here" he answers, upon entering the main room after fetching the party decorations that were hidden in his room.
"Okay, so this is the plan: Toby, you and Sylvester put up the decorations, Happy you set up the sound system and then help them and Ralph, I've got a special job for you, can you take all the food out of this bags and set them nicely on that table over there?"
"Yes"
"Good boy"
"And what are you gonna do?"
"I'm gonna go get Megan and then I'll help, okay Ralph, behave while I'm gone ok, alright I'll be back in a little bit"
Twenty five minutes later Paige is waiting in the reception area of the care facility, waiting for Walter's sister so that they could go back to the garage. A few minutes later she is wheeled into the room by one of the care assistants.
"Hi Paige"
"Hey Megan, you ready?"
"Yeah, let's go"
"Wait, Megan, remember do not push yourself too hard"
"I know Lauren, thank you" replied Megan.
"Come on, we've not got long, we've only managed to get him out for a little while".
"Okay, and Lauren, depending on how tired I'm feeling, I'll either be back this afternoon or tomorrow morning"
"I know, just go have fun with your brother"
"See ya"
Thirty five minutes later Paige wheeled Megan into the garage where they saw that all the food was set out and the last of the decorations being put up. Megan was looking around at everything, amazed at all of the Green, White and Orange decorations.
"This place looks amazing"
"Yeah, we decided on this colour scheme after you told me about what you wanted me to get for Walter, anyway, Megan, meet the rest of Scorpion, this is Happy our mechanics expert, Toby our behaviourist, Sylvester the human calculator and this is my son, Ralph, guys this is Walter's sister Megan O'Brien".
"Hi, it's err nice to meet you" says Sylvester
"You too, do any of you know how long until Walter gets here?"
"About a half hour, I just got the call from Cabe, Walter left 2 minutes ago, to fetch a part for the bike I'm working on"
"Megan, we moved in the couch from my room, would you like to sit on there?"
"Sure"
Paige then wheeled Megan over to the couch and she lifted herself out of the wheelchair on onto it.
"Oh my god, I've just thought about how we can reveal to Walter that you're here" exclaims Paige.
"What?"
"You could put your legs up onto the couch and then all of us will stand in front of you, hiding his view of you and then I dunno I'll say something like, we've got a surprise for you Walter and then we'll part"
"That would be cool"
A few minutes later, the everyone is talking when Cabe walked in and Paige asked him if Walter had suspected anything.
"No, I don't think so"
"Agent Gallo, is that you?"
"Megan, what are you doing here?"
"Paige got in touch with me, I'm here as a surprise for Walter"
"Okay, well it's nice to err see you again"
"You too"
Fifteen minutes later they were all chatting when they heard Walter's car park up outside ad Paige whispered "Okay people, positions".
"He can't hear you"
"Just do it please"
A second after they have all stood infront of Megan to hide her from view Walter walks into the garage and everyone shouts "SURPRISE"
"What is all this?" asks Walter.
"Well, when these guys told me that you hadn't celebrated your birthday properly in years, I had to do something about it, besides, this party is for Ralph too".
"Yeah, not to say that we don't have a surprise or two for you either buddy"
"Speaking of which, there is someone here who would like to say hello"
They all part sides and Paige helps Megan to stand up, which is when the later looks Walter in the eye and says "Hi Walter"
"Megan!"
Walter then walks up to his sister, but before he has walked all the way, Megan tells him to stop just a little ways away from here, saying that "I can do this" and so she walks up to him and gives him a hug.
"What the hell are you doing here?"
"Paige tracked me down, all of this is thanks to her"
"Thank you Paige
"You're welcome, now come on let's party"
