A/N: Hey everyone! Sorry this is late today. I was on a field trip and I had, and have, work to do, so I wasn't able to post this until now. Our first Ezekiel centric! Enjoy!
Chapter 8: Little Saint Nick
It was late one night when the phone in the Library rang. Eve woke sharply from her sleep. After lifting Flynn's arm off of her, she picked up the phone.
"Hello?" she answered groggily.
As the voice on the other end explained what was going on, her eyes slowly grew wide with anger. She was going to kill that kid.
"Alright. Thank you. We'll be right there"
Already climbing out of bed, she shook Flynn before slipping into her street clothes.
"What time is it?" he mumbled. Eve glanced at the clock
"3 AM" she growled.
"Why did you wake me?"
"We have to go. One of your little LITs has gotten himself into quite a bit of trouble."
"You're the Guardian" Flynn grumbled.
Eve grabbed a pillow and smacked him hard with it. He sat up sharply.
"I'm up!" he proclaimed. "Who is it?"
"Who do you think?!" Eve proclaimed. "Now put some clothes on and bundle up. We've gotta go back to the North Pole"
Ten minutes later, Eve and Flynn arrived inside, Eve couldn't believe it, Santa's house, where a disgruntled Santa and Mrs. Claus stood next to Ezekiel, who was sitting back on the couch with a smug grin on his face.
"Hey Gretchen!" Flynn proclaimed, seeming to forget why they'd come. "Love what you've done with the place! Is this new carpet?"
"Flynn, focus please" Eve shouted. She turned her attention to the couch. "Mr. and Mrs. Claus I am so sorry. We came as fast as we could."
"It's quite alright dear" Mrs. Claus said. "We just-oh!" she gasped as Eve grabbed the young Librarian by his collar and lifted him to his feet.
"What the hell were you thinking Jones?!" she yelled.
"I was thinking" he retorted, pushing himself away from her. "That I was bored, and I know Santa Claus, and I wanted a bit of fun!"
"And you thought the way to have fun was to sneak into the North Pole and highjack Santa's sleigh?" Flynn added. Ezkiel shrugged.
"Sneaking around's kinda what I do mate, if you haven't noticed"
"Stealing Santa's sleigh is not even the whole point of it Jones. You could've been killed!" Eve shouted
"Ah come on. Don't be ridiculous"
"You were found doing loop-de-loops and corkscrews 100 feet in the air" Flynn said.
"I know how to handle myself in extreme sports" he sassed.
Eve rolled her eyes and grabbed him again, this time by the back of his collar and with a stronger grip.
"Anyway" she said. "We should be going now. Sorry again for the disturbance. Won't happen again" She said the last part through her teeth, directing the words more at Jones then at the Clauses.
Eve turned and began to walk towards the door from where they'd come, still holding onto Ezekiel.
"Gretchen, Santa" Flynn said, giving a little wave. "Nice seeing you as always"
He turned towards the door and walked back into the Library, where he could already hear Eve continuing to yell at Jones.
A/N: Because it's not the Librarians without Baird yelling at Jones. Hope you all enjoyed, though it was shorter. Had to whip this out in like ten minutes before bed last night. Now off to do an APBio lab, which typically takes 2-4 hours, while exhausted. Ive been up since 5 AM. Anyway, see you all tomorrow with "Must Be Santa". Merry Christmas LITs!
