"That's the alarm! There's an intruder in the house!" Tai whispers urgently. Mimi keeps unusually still considering her active personality. Tai presses his ear against the bedroom door and listens attentively. A clatter of plastic bags and cans sound downstairs and loud urgent footsteps run up the stairs. "Go into the washroom Mimi. And lock the doors and windows inside." Tai says quietly. "I'll be fine." Tai adds when Mimi looks worryingly at him for a moment. Mimi nods and locks herself inside the bathroom without another word.

The pounding footsteps were already at the landing and heading towards Mimi's room. "He knows his way around." Tai murmurs to himself. He puts his hand in on his handgun, which was pocketed on his waist belt. The intruder approaches Mimi's bedroom door and knocks loudly. Tai tightens his grip.

"Mimi!" The intruder calls. "It's me!" Tai keeps his eyes on the door waiting for him to burst in. "It's Matt! I brought some food and stuff for ya. Turn off the alarm!"

"It's Matt's voice!" Mimi hollers from inside the bathroom. She releases herself from the washroom and opens her bedroom door. "Matt! What are you doing here?" Mimi screams on top of the alarm. Tai pulls something out of his pocket and presses a tiny remote. He presses a green button and the alarm ceases.

"I brought you some food. I cleared out your fridge, remember? I thought you might want a midnight snack or at least some milk and cookies. There's also canned tuna fish, ham and soup of all sorts." Matt exclaims rapidly.

"You could've at least called first." Tai mutters under his breath, but loud enough for Matt to hear. Matt glares at Tai intensively.

"How should I have known you'd put all these phony alarm systems all over the house. I've always had access to this house!" Matt practically shouts as he flings the house key around.

"Now really…" Mimi interrupts trying to stop the argument. "Maybe, maybe next time, Matt, you could ring the doorbell. And, and Tai, you'll notify Matt of anything you install around the house." Mimi suggests looking back and forth between the two boys who were glaring at each other. "Do we agree?"

"Agree." Tai says slowly, continuing to glare at Matt. Mat returns the glare but says nothing.

"Matt?" Mimi asks attentively. "Do we agree?"

"Agree." Matt says with finite. He turns to Mimi and ignores Tai. "You want something to eat, Mimi? I brought your favorite!"

"Really? With the puffy cream? And cookie pieces?" Mimi asks excitedly like a little girl.

"With cream and cookie pieces." With a last glare at Tai Matt closes the door behind him steering Mimi down the stairs.

Tai sighs softly and sits at the edge of Mimi's bed. "I thought they said this job'll be easy." He says softly to himself. He looks around the room and finds a spot in the ceiling to stare at. After a long moment of silence, he stands and arranges the equipment from the box and starts setting it up.

Mimi wakes up and messages her neck. She had fallen asleep on the kitchen table and her neck was aching all over. A blanket was hanging from her shoulders. "Must've been Matt" Mimi thought as she carefully folds the blanket and swings it on the armrest.

"Morning, Mimi." Tai greets as he enters the kitchen.

"Morning." Mimi greets back. "Where's Matt?" Tai answers without looking up from his breakfast and newspaper. He also places a plate full of toast, eggs and bacon in front of Mimi.

"He left this morning. Said something about organizing the photo shoot. Told me, oh so very kindly, to remind you to be there on time." He adds sarcastically. He looks up from his plate and looks at Mimi. "Go on," He urges. "I didn't poison the eggs." Mimi laughs and picks up her fork. "Although, I'd be careful about the bacon." He adds jokingly.

"Thanks. This is like the first breakfast in months that didn't come out of a can." Mimi says in glee. Tai laughs.

"Well, there's more of where that came from." He glances briefly at his watch and stands up. "You think you'll be done in the next ten minutes?"

"Mmhmm." Mimi muffles with her mouth full, nodding as she swallows.

"Great! I'll call for a driver and maybe if we get there in time, Matt won't try to yank my head off." He says heartily as he exits the kitchen.

After Mimi finishes 'freshening up', in which took longer than 'five minutes max." Tai shoves Mimi into the car and adds loudly.

"Step on it!" The driver nods and quickly zooms out of the driveway. Tai keeps glancing at his watch. Soon, the car came to a complete halt in the middle of the road.

"Looks like a bit o' traffic" The drivers says calmly. "Should be out in a few."

"Minutes!" Tai asks hopefully.

"Hours." Tai groans loudly and slumps into the seat next to Mimi. Tai's cell phone rings after half an hour and Matt's yelling was heard as soon as Tai answers. Tai holds the phone at arms length and Mimi picks up a few words coming from the phone. Words like '-waiting!'' '-late' could be heard all the way to where Mimi's sitting. After several minutes, Tai passes his phone to Mimi. "Think I heard your name several times, he probably wants to talk to you." Tai sighs in relief. Mimi takes it hesitantly.

"H-hello?" She says quietly.

"Mimi!" Matt greets warmly. "How're you today? D'you like your breakfast?" Mimi forces a polite laugh.

"Erm, Tai made me breakfast this morning."

"Really! What'd you have?"

"Umm, there were eggs, toast and bacon…"

"What about the oatmeal I left you on the kitchen counter!"

"What oatmeal?" Tai sounds at this comment and says.

"That stuff wasn't edible. I fed it to that stray cat that was out on the street." At that moment, traffic started moving along and Mimi quickly says.

"Traffics moving, Matt. We'll be there in a jiffy. Bye!" And she hangs-up before Matt could comment on what Tai just says. "Phew, that was close." Tai and Mimi looks at each other for a moment before bursting into laughter.

When they arrived at the studio, Matt was already standing at the front door with his hands crossed. Tai gets out and opens the door for Mimi.

"Thanks, Tai" Mimi says as she hops out. Matt crosses the parking lot and glares at Tai.

"Do you know you're so late, the crews packing up for the day. We have to book another appointment tomorrow! I'll have to schedule the studio and make-up artists all over again!"

"Hey! I'm a bodyguard! And strictly speaking a police officer. I'm not here to remind her of her pedicure appointments?" Tai yells back. Mimi laughs nervously.

"S-should we go now? Since there's no photo shoot." The driver gets the point quickly and opens the door for them. Mimi didn't need a verbal invitation, and hurriedly hops inside.

welpz, this chapter has actually been in my computer since July 27th, 2004…it's like 2005 right not haha..and I've done nothing to it. And reading back I shudder to think that I've ever written like that…but since it's been written, I might as well post it…think I'll continue this story soon, but the style will be totally different since it's been over a year now. Think my thoughts have changed much since then…
