Lestrade tried to surprise me with a big case for my birthday yesterday, but, of course, he made it too obvious that that was his plan. The only reason I didn't tell him that I knew was because it was a very interesting case. One I was happy to get involved in.
It took the entire day. What a good day that was. A good birthday, for once. Not that my birthdays were always so bad, but this one was exceptional. And, it was the one day that certain officers had to be nice or not be around me at all. If next year isn't this good, I'll be quite disappointed.
As of right now, I am trying to avoid Lestrade all together for the next week. It may mean no cases, which is awful and dull, but it also means no surprise birthday parties. He and some other officers thought it would be a "blast" if they threw me some stupid party, which was the reason for the case; to distract me from the REAL surprise. Not going to happen. I am currently occupying a spot in my closet as I write.
No one is going to make me wear a funny hat and blow out sticks of fire just so everyone is assured that I know exactly how old I am.
Guys! I am soooo sorry for the long wait! D: I am not even going to give out excuses but I did want to thank you for sticking with me! This story has over 2000 views! I am soooooo happy! :D Thank you so much for following and reviewing! I will try to update this story more often! I just got this bad case of writers block and didn't feel like updating and that really needs to change! Anyway, I know this story really needs to pick up, so hopefully it will in the next few chapters. Thank you again! You all deserve a cookie! :) 3
