The final chapter! Sorry it's like, really tiny!
Parker let go of Raymond instantly, and crumpled to the ground. Raymond ran over to where Teekay stood.
"You killed him!" Raymond yelled in horror. Teekay paid Raymond no attention.
"Oh get up you big baby! It was firing blanks for Christ's sake."
Parker sat up.
"You sneaky little-"
"I know, I know." Teekay said with a smile.
"Geez Teekay, way to give me a heart-attack." Raymond muttered.
"Yeah, yeah. It did the job didn't it? Or would you rather be arrested over a big stupid misunderstanding?"
"Would somebody please like to tell me what the hell is going on?" Parker asked.
Teekay and Raymond sat Parker down and explained everything. As Teekay predicted, he wasn't disappointed. Only sympathetic.
After a brief court hearing, Raymond was pardoned of all offences.
It was a usual day at work when Chris returned from Africa, but he didn't return alone.
It was Parker who spotted the pair first. He was still filling out paperwork, and Teekay was sitting next to him, "Helping" (Playing Tekken.) He looked up from the stacks of legal documents, to see tow familiar faces.
"Is that, Jill?"
"Huh?" Teekay looked up, "Oh my god! Jill!"
Everyone in the office stopped what they were doing, and ran over.
"Jill! I can't believe it! You're alive and... Blonde." Teekay thought for a moment, "I love it! You look like Nina from Tekken!"
Jill only laughed at Teekay's enthusiasm.
Everyone in the office attended the funeral of Kirk "Hat Trick" Mathison. One of the B.S.A.A.'s best helicopter pilots who had, unfortunately, lost his life in Kijuju.
The year ended on a positive note, a wedding.
Teekay and Parker were only engaged for two months before they got married. This was mostly because of Teekay's excitement and lack of patience.
It was a simple ceremony. After lots of begging and harassment, Jill agreed to be Teekay's one and only bridesmaid. Raymond was the best man. After even more begging and harassment, Chris reluctantly agreed to get a license online to perform the ceremony.
Teekay invited a lot of people. Her parents, and Parker's parents of course, and a few family members from either side. She invited Claire, Chris's younger sister and she bought her boyfriend Leon, as Teekay had hoped she would. Barry Burton and his wife were there, and Rebecca Chambers showed up with a date by the name of William, who no one had met. But Jill seemed a little suspicious of him. O'Brian was also there with his wife.
Quint and Keith were there of course, and Quint managed to trip over a table leg and fall flat on his face.
It was a nice day, full of laughter and old friends catching up. At one point, Teekay and Quint were found sitting in a corner, trying to beat each other's scores on Tekken.
All in all, everything seemed to wrap up nicely, and Raymond felt that maybe he could relax from then on.
Unfortunately for him, yet another problem was just around the corner. There was one last battle for him, but he wouldn't have to fight it alone this time.
The End
So, there you have it. The second book, done! The third and final book contains a lot more people. Rebecca, Billy, Barry, Chris, Jill and plenty more will feature in it! Thanks so much for reading! Hope you liked it!

2009
After Parker's little outburst at Raymond's place, things had become awkward between the two men.
They were polite, but didn't speak unless they absolutely had to. This troubled Parker, since he was planning on proposing to Teekay, and wanted Raymond to be the best man.
Of course, he blamed himself completely. He would've liked to discuss this with Teekay, but the whole event was quite a sore spot for her. That was understandable, he supposed. But if he so much as hinted at it, she would squirm in her seat before making some excuse as to why she had to leave the room. He knew she should be ticked off, but he didn't expect her to be angry to such a degree.
Eventually, he pressed the subject, and begged her to talk about it with him. She agreed, reluctantly.
"Things haven't been easy with me and Raymond at the moment."
"I know." She said uneasily, wondering where he was headed with this.
"I want him to forgive me. I don't want to lose my best friend over this."
She leaned back in her chair.
"Well, in my personal opinion, if you want someone to forgive you, you have to apologise first."
"I don't know if he'd listen to me. Christ, this is all my fault. I've made a mess of everything."
"Look, you can spend all day playing the blame game, or you can go out and set things right. Your call."
He looked at her, and nodded.
"I'm going over to Raymond's. I'll be back soon."
She grinned.
"Good. The sooner you two make up, the sooner we can drop the whole subject, and pretend it never happened."
He frowned at her choice of words.
'She really has a problem with this whole incident. Weird.'
January 2010
Teekay sat in the corner, cringing as Jessica played with the shock collar's remote control.
'Jesus. What did I ever do to deserve this? ...Oh. Now I remember. I willingly helped a pharmaceutical company deliver hell to the masses at age fifteen in exchange for a small sum of money, which I then spent on gaming devices, and an apartment in Terragrigia. Come to think of it, I probably do deserve a dental examination...'
Hopefully, that should keep you interested. God, I'll be glad when this bloody series is finally out of the way. It's always there in the back of my mind, waiting to be finished...
