AN: Why do I feel like Gollum chanting "My precious." Yes, Reviewers, The Niff train will course through soon. Thank you for your reviews, they make me smile. Here's the final Puff (Puck/Jeff) chapter, the rest will be Either Nick/Rachel or everyone together. But I have a few surprises in this chapter. No bad ones, though. Hugs to everyone who loves this story. And never assume I'm done until you see the complete tag on the story. I think Mimi learned that lesson :)

Jeff looked at Puck, a smile gracing his features. He had a laptop open and was composing a letter to Nick. Puck saw the smile, and raised an eyebrow. "What are you up to, cousin?"

Jeff smirked at him, "Remember that fire last week?"

Puck nodded. Jeff kept talking, "Well, I kinda put Smythe's ring in there when nobody was looking. So they think Smythe died in that fire."

Puck looked at Jeff, "So you basically planted it?"

Jeff nodded, "You know what they did to him."

Puck nodded his head, "They basically poisoned him in self defense because he tried to kill Rachel. Then they brought him back and killed him again because he tried again."

Puck looked at his cousin, "Let me guess, you want to protect them because we're in love with them."

"Only part of it, Puck. I do believe they did a good thing and Nick was in shock when he heard about Thad. But I saw a glint in his eye. I believe he was also trying to protect me."

"Protect you? Why?"

"Have you noticed how Smythe seemed a little interested in me?"

Puck sniggered and nodded. "Yeah, I wondered about that. He's never been that focused on someone, seemed like he enjoyed you chasing after him."

Jeff nodded. Puck continued, "Thad may have given Smythe a reason to keep you chasing him. But why haven't you gone back to Ohio yet, cousin?"

Jeff looked at him, "I'm waiting for Nick to call me back. I know he'll let me know when he's ready, Puck."

Puck smiled at him, "And when you get that call, let me know. I'll know Star is ready too."

Jeff nodded and went back to writing. He soon finished and printed off the letter, then put it in a Fed ex with the warbler ring. Puck raised an eyebrow, and Jeff just grinned at him. Puck grinned back. The envelope was sealed and the men left the house. Puck went to the station, while Jeff went to the Fed ex office to mail the letter. Once Jeff was done, he went to the station. The two men worked for the day, and after a week, they fell into a routine.

One day, Jeff was out doing rounds. He was done in a matter of hours and drove to the station. When he got there, He saw Puck looking shocked. He looked around and saw Finn at his desk, with Mercedes in his lap. The two had obviously been making out. Nearby stood Carole, Burt and Kurt. They were grinning. Jeff could only raise an eyebrow. Mercedes saw him, and smiled. Burt spoke up, "Those two are getting married. He just proposed."

Jeff smiled at them. "Congratulations, guys."

They both smiled and thanked him. Puck peered at them, "Am I losing someone or gaining someone?"

Mercedes looked at him, "Well Sheriff, that depends."

Puck looked at her, "On what, Mercy?"

"Can you put up with me?"

"Baby, Been doing that for years. How can I not?"

She grinned at him, "I've been hoping you'd say that, Puck."

"Just be good to my boy, and make sure he's good to you, Mercy. Or the three of us will be wrestling like pigs in a trough."

Mercedes smirked at him. Finn laughed outright. The rest just shook their heads. Kurt was extremely confused. Jeff saw Kurt's face, "Kurt... It's Texas talk.. you'd never get it."

Kurt nodded in confusion, "I'm learning that. God, I miss New York."

Jeff peered at him, "New York? Wow.. and why were you in Ohio?"

"Born and raised in Ohio, Jeff. Moved to New York because I go to school at Parsons."

"Ah. Good school." Kurt raised an eyebrow, "Got a cousin there. He loves it there."

Kurt's eyebrow went up even further, "And who would this cousin be?"

Jeff's phone rang. Jeff answered it, "Hello?...Hey cousin... Yeah... What?... Missing classmate...Who?...Ahh... He's with me right now... Due back a week ago?" Jeff raised an eyebrow at Kurt, "You don't say?... If he doesn't show up when?... By next week?... Will fail the course..."

As Kurt listened to Jeff's conversation.. he got more and more panicked. His parents looked at him in surprise. Jeff kept talking, "OK. He's listening to me... Yeah, I'll be sure he gets there on time... Oh, Really?...You have got to be kidding me... Oh, Finn's getting married... Yeah, Mercy... Will do... Call ya next week?... Yeah... Love you too, B. Bye."

Jeff hung up the phone, then made another call. When that call was done, he looked at Kurt. "Pack up. I've got a ticket back to New York for you tonight. You're so lucky my cousin warned us."

"Your cousin is B.? As in Blaine?"

"Yeah." Jeff said. Puck chimed in, "How's our baby boy?"

Jeff laughed, "Freaking out because this guy ain't there, but good. Says he loves us and will see us in a few months."

Puck smirked at Jeff. Kurt looked at the two of them, "Just how many freaking cousins do you two have?"

Jeff started counting in his head. "About 200. Give or take fifty."

Kurt shook his head, "Your family has been real busy."

"OK, let's get Kurt to New York. Carole and Burt, you guys have tickets back to Ohio?"

Carole nodded at Jeff. Jeff told Kurt to get in his car and he'd take him to the airport. The two men left. Mercedes looked at Puck and cocked her head to his office. He nodded. She kissed her fiancee and went into Puck's office. Puck followed her and closed the door. Carole walked over to her son and smiled, "I'm glad, Finn, that you have a good life here. Burt and I were talking about it the last few days. We're considering moving down here so you and I can be closer. How would you feel about that?"

Finn looked at his mother, and then Burt. "I'd love it, but what about Kurt?"

Burt smiled, "He's going to stay in New York. He wants to keep our house. Since it's already paid off, and we've got money in savings, all I gotta do is sell the shop but that's easy."

"Shop?" Finn asked.

"I own a Tire and Lube shop."

"You know, we had one here until Old man Karofsky died. The son is trying to sell it. I can get you in touch with him if you want to keep doing that." Finn suggested. Burt had the biggest smile on his face, "That would be great, son."

Finn smiled. Puck and Mercedes came out of the office. Puck looked around, "How's it going here?"

The smiles on Burt, Finn and Carole's faces told him a lot was good. They sat around chatting for a while. Jeff came back 2 hours later. "OK, Kurt's off to New York."

Burt thanked him for his help. Jeff shrugged, "Least I can do for the family that helped me crack a very tough case."

A week later, All the cops were sitting around the station when Jeff felt a tug on his heart. He went to the nearest window and saw a single maple leaf float down. "It's time, Puck."

Puck looked at him, "He is calling?"

Jeff nodded. Everyone else looked confused. Then Mercedes got it. "Your man wants you?"

Jeff smiled at her. She nodded, "Go to him. Puck, go to her. And remember my offer."

Puck nodded and pulled out his phone.

AN: Can anybody guess what Mercedes offer is? And yes, I'm surprised the Puff cousins have a LOT of cousins.. including Blaine. That I did NOT expect to write!
