Chapter 8.
Kelly was on the porch of Kris' beach house, watching the evening sun on its way down into the ocean. Ella was down on the beach together with Kris, making a huge sand castle. Kelly and Ella had been talking all day except the hours Ella were in school, and after seeing Kelly up and about the entire day Ella had relaxed.
"Kelly?"
Kelly looked over at Jill as Jill sat down next to her in another chair, handing Kelly a blanket. Kelly smiled and wrapped the blanket around her, it was getting chilly.
"They are so fantastic together." Kelly smiled, watching Kris and Ella play.
"Kris is going to be a fantastic mum when she's given the opportunity, just like you are Kelly."
"Kris has really been an extra mum for Ella, and I'm so grateful." Kelly smiled, in the same time as she heard a car pull over outside Kris' house. Both Kelly and Jill looked over, noticing a shiny Rolls Royce parking on the road. A man walked out of the back of it, pulling his robe closer as she looked up to the porch.
"Is that…?" Jill breathed.
"Charlie." Kelly smiled.
Jill flew up and leaned herself over the railing.
"KRIS! COME!"
Kris looked up worried when she heard Jill scream, but as Jill pointed towards the man walking out on the porch, and she noticed Kelly and Jill seemed to know who he was, she realized who the unknown man could be.
"Come Ellie." Kris said, taking Ella's hand and they hurried to the house, running up the stairs.
"Hello Kris." Charlie said as walked up to her, giving her a kiss on the cheek.
Kris didn't say anything, she just stared at the man in front of her. It seemed so unreal. They've been joking several times about Charlie being strictly fictional, she remembered Kelly telling her "there is no Charlie, Bosley made him up" the first day in the office. But here he was, standing right in front of her.
"What… What are you doing here?"
"I actually wish to talk to Kelly for a minute." Charlie said, turning around towards Kelly. Kelly smiled.
"Please go on."
Charlie sat down at one of the chairs, Kris sat down in the one next to Jill, and Ella climbed up into Kelly's lap. Charlie smiled as Ella climbed up and grabbed one of the cookies which were on the table.
"Well, you know I wanted to talk to you about work?" Charlie said, and Kelly nodded.
"Yeah, but you know I'm not going back."
"I know you don't want to go back to the detective work, it's too dangerous and so on. But what about taking Bosley's place in it? Doing paperwork, connecting the new employees with me, run computer checks and so on."
"Bosley told me you've already hired someone for his part?" Kris asked curious.
"Yes, I have, for the LA-firm. But I'm planning on opening up an agency in Washington and since I know you want to move there along with Kris, I thought you might be interested."
"I am Charlie. I'm very interested. But I'm not ready to go back to work yet."
"Take absolutely as much time as you'd like. I don't care if you take a week or if you take size months, take all the time you need. Paid time of course. And you have my number, just call when you're ready to go."
"Thank you Charlie." Kelly smiled, and Charlie rose.
"I have to get going. I'll talk to you later guys. Take care." Charlie smiled to all four of them before walking down to the waiting Rolls.
The women sat quiet for a long time, just looking towards where the car had been a while ago before Jill spoke.
"We got to see Charlie!"
Kris and Kelly laughed at Jill's joy.
"It was about time." Kris said. "It was getting ridiculous."
Kelly and Jill looked at her. They both knew that Kris had been so mad at Charlie the day Kelly was shot, both she and Bosley had told them. She thought it was so irritating that he didn't come to them, to keep them all together. And it was not the first time she wanted Charlie there. She felt embarrassed, working for a man that never wanted to meet them. Security reasons they said. Security my ass Kris always answered, maybe not in those words, but Kris was right. Charlie was constantly surrounded by girls and women. What would make the Angels different from those women? Why did he trust them so much, but not his Angels? Kris had always found that very weird, but now, she had finally got to meet him too. And Kelly would still be working for him. But the best part was that Kelly and Ella would move with her to Washington. There they could start a new life. Kris was looking forward to it, a lot. She was excited to see where life would take her.
The end.
So, this was a short one too ^^ Next one will be longer, bet on it ;) And that last part was kind of meant for my two best friends, who are moving to Australia next week. Aw, I'll miss them like crazy, but I know they will have a great time :)
