(Rachel's P.O.V.)

Three days had passed since Conan's birthday. Today was Thursday, and I was waiting for him to come downstairs to me so I could drive him to school. He was almost finished with brushing his teeth. A minute later, he came downstairs with his backpack, lunch and a plastic bag with his clothes because as another birthday treat, I was going to let him spend the three-day weekend at Serena's and Mathew's place.

"Come on, Conan," I said. "You don't want to be late for school."

After I got Conan in, I went around to the driver's side of my car and climbed in. I started it, and drove Conan off to school.

"Conan," I said to my little boy. "After I drop you off, I'm gonna drop your stuff off at Aunty's."

"Okay," Conan responded.

We arrived at Teitan Elementary at around 7:55 a.m.; we always arrived around this time when Conan had school.

"Have a good day, Conan," I said as Conan unbuckled and got out.

"I will," Conan said, assuring me.

I watched as he dashed off to class. There were some kids playing in the playground, so he went there. As I drove out of Conan's school parking lot, my mind was set on getting to Serena's and Mathew's place.

"Alright, now off to drop off Conan's things," I said to myself as I got back on the road.

I started driving to Serena's and Mathew's house. I think this was the first time that I ever drove from Conan's school to Serena's and Mathew's. Normally, I would drive there from home, or work, but not once from Conan's school -- at least... not that I could think of. I was going to stop there to drop off Conan's things; I had already called them up about it and told them that it was sort of another birthday treat. Mathew said that he wouldn't be too much of a problem. Just around 20 minutes later, I arrived at their house.

"Well, just drop this off, and then I'm off to work," I said to myself as I got out.

I grabbed Conan's plastic bag and got out of the car. I went up to the doorstep and rang the doorbell. Serena was the one who answered it.

"Oh, Rachel, it's you," She said when she opened the door.

I noticed her in her green two-piece bathing suit.

"Sunbathing again, Serena?" I assumed.

"Yep," Serena responded, putting her hands behind her head. "Mathew's out on a case with Inspector Meguire."

"So is Jimmy," I said.

I had to get back on track.

"Well, here's Conan's clothes," I said, handing Conan's plastic bag to Serena.

"Thanks," Serena said to me.

I waved good bye to her and dashed off to my car. I started it up, and left their driveway, heading off to work.

(Serena's P.O.V.)

After Rachel left, I closed the front door and left Conan's things by the couch. I looked inside and all that was inside were his sleepclothes and his outside clothes. He was one lucky guy -- getting to sleep over at the age of 4.

"Lucky him," I said to myself as I walked outside again.

Instead of walking to my beach chair, I walked to the deep end of the pool. I dipped my left toe in the water and it was a little cold. I took a small step back and dove gracefully into the water. I began swimming around like a fish. After a few laps from the deep end to the shallow end, I climbed out and dried off. I checked my watch and it was 8:12 a.m. I realized I hadn't eaten breakfast yet.

"Maybe I should eat my breakfast now," I said as I headed inside.

I slipped on my green dress over my two-piece swimsuit and got some food. I put a couple slices of bread in the toaster and grabbed some butter. I grabbed a paper plate, started some coffee, and waited for the bread to pop up. A minute later, I heard the toaster pop the bread up. While I spread the butter on the two pieces of toast, I took the paper plate, set it on the table, and began to eat them.

"Wonder when Mathew's coming home," I said to myself as I finished the first piece of toast.

As soon as I bit the 2nd piece, the coffee machine went off. I stood up out of my chair, got a cup from the cabinet, grabbed the coffee container, and poured in the coffee. Just as I took it to the table, I heard a car pull in. I figured it was Inspector Meguire dropping off Mathew. A minute later, I heard the door open. After hearing a few footsteps, I saw Mathew's male figure in front of me. He was wearing yet another one of his motocross shirts, but with the last name "Dungey" on the back and a number 28 underneath it.

"How was your case?" I asked as I took another sip of my coffee.

"Good," Mathew responded. "Took us a little bit longer than usual, but Meguire was impressed that I was able to figure out the murderer."

Hearing that he figured it out before Jimmy was so surprising to me, I nearly choked after I swallowed my coffee.

"You figured it out?" I asked.

"You betcha," Mathew responded.

"What was Jimmy's reaction?" I asked him after a few coughs.

"He wasn't upset," Mathew responded. "He was real impressed, actually."

"What'd you say after you figured out who it was?" I asked, showing real interest.

"Hey, I learned from the best," Mathew responded.

I couldn't believe it -- Mathew... solved a case?! I think I must be dreaming here!! I know it wasn't his very first since he had plenty of experience in Hawaii, and he solved a couple of cases back then when he came here, but this one... I never saw coming; I just assumed he was just lucky to figure those two out. After I finished my last piece of toast, I stood up out of my chair.

(End Serena's P.O.V.)

"Where are you going?" I asked.

I watched as Serena took her empty paper plate full of toast crumbs and her coffee cup to the sink. After she threw away her plate and put her cup away after washing it, she walked back to me.

"Back outside," Serena responded as she took off her dress, revealing her green two-piece bathing suit.

I saw her toss her dress on the left armrest of the couch and relax in her beach chair. I went outside to her beach chair.

"Aren't you happy for me?" I asked Serena.

"Yes I am," Serena responded. "But I'm just basically surprised that YOU figured it out before Jimmy."

"Oh, because you're used to hearing Jimmy figure them out?" I assumed.

"Mm-hmm," Serena responded as she applied some sunscreen to her tropically-dressed body.

I wasn't upset with her at all. I understood since she was used to hearing me tell her about the cases that I got called on with Jimmy and Jimmy ending up solving them with me working with him. With that said and done, I walked back inside, leaving Serena alone. I thought she needed some alone time for it to sink in that I solved the case I was on with Jimmy today. Good thing that Inspector Meguire was being patient with me on solving a case, especially after solving a lot of the cases as a partner to Jimmy. I had told him that I was working on it and it would come eventually.

End of chapter.
