One

DI Goodman was the first person into work on Monday morning. He'd just settled down at his desk when there was a knock on the station door and a group of five people walked in. He looked up from his desk and stared, shocked. "Hi Uncle H," a very familiar boys voice said. Humphrey stood up from behind his desk and walked around it.

"Urm... well this is a bit of a surprise," he said still in shock. "well, urm, how are you all?" he asked.

Theo smiled. "We're good Uncle H. We decided to go on a cousin bonding holiday and decided Saint Marie would be as good as anywhere," he said.

"Plus we get to see our favourite uncle," Megan added.

Humphrey had got over his initial shock. "Well it's great to see you Theo and Meg. You too Lex and Felix. And you brought Alice as well Lex," he said. "Well come take a seat. As you can see I'm on my own at the moment. Well I suppose you can't Megan," he added.

Megan rolled her eyes and made her way tentatively towards the chairs he'd pointed at. Humphrey grabbed his niece's elbow and led her to his chair. "I'm not disabled," Megan said sourly.

"I know," he said. "Shall I get us drinks?" he asked and not waiting for a reply, stood up and got them all a bottle of water from the fridge.

While he was doing this, Florence walked in. "Good morning Inspector," she said before pausing and really looking at the person in the Inspector's chair. "Who are you and what are you doing in DI Goodman's chair?" she asked looking at the red-haired girl with freckles that was sat there surrounded by four other people. "And who are all these others?" she said alarmed. Before Megan could reply Humphrey answered for her.

"Ah Florence, these are my niece and nephews, Megan, Theo, Felix and Alex. The other girl is Alice who is Alex's girlfriend," Humphrey said handing out bottled water to everyone.

"It's lovely to meet you Florence," Megan said her eyes focused on a wooden post in front of her.

"Urm, Meg..." Humphrey started before twisting her head slightly so she was looking at Florence. "That's Florence. You were looking at a post."

Megan blushed. "Sorry. I'm partially blind. I can see outlines but not properly and I can't see in colour either," she said smiling weakly.

"Don't worry about it Megan. I have had plenty worse from other people than being mistaken for a post," Florence said sitting down at her desk and Megan attempting to follow the movement. "Sir. If you want to take time off to spend with your family you can. We're very quiet at the moment as you know," she said.

Humphrey looked at his family. "No it's alright," he said.

"Oh please Uncle H. It's one of the reasons we came here. To spend time with you," Alex said. "Megan's making a curry for lunch," he added knowing that would entice him to come.

"You cook Megan?" Florence asked. Megan nodded.

"Yeah. My brother has to get out the ingredients and make sure I know what is what but other than that, I'm alright at cooking," Megan said. She stood up. "Please Uncle H. It would mean a lot," she said.

"Alright, Florence you're in charge. If there is any change in crime status, I want to know about it," he said picking up his case. He followed the five of the kids out and almost walked into Dwayne and Fidel. "Ah, Dwayne, Fidel. Florence is in charge. These are my family. I'm off to their villa for lunch. I'll explain later," he said hurriedly realising his nephews were getting further away and having to hurry after the boys. Megan was taking her time with Alice's help. As the girls approached the car, there was a loud squeal of brakes and a scream. DI Goodman ran over to Megan who was screaming at the fact that Alice had just been knocked down by a car. An ambulance was called and Alice and Alex were taken to hospital in the ambulance. The twins, Megan and DI Goodman jumped into the rented car and drove to the hospital to wait for her.

Once at the hospital they found Alex who was sat in the waiting area. "They've said she'll be fine. It's just a few bruises and maybe a broken rib or two," he said. Megan hugged her twin tightly.

"Well that's good. At least she's fine," she said. Alex nodded.

"You got here quickly," Alex stated.

"Yes, I think Theo was speeding but I was little bit more concerned with getting here than making a note of the speedometer so be grateful Theo," Humphrey said.

Theo chuckled. "If it wasn't for the fact I know you will get me out of any scrapes I get into while here Uncle H I would have driven perfectly reasonably," Theo joked. Megan shook her head as she made her slow way to a seat to sit in.

They sat in reasonable silence for a while. "Great start to this holiday isn't it?" Felix said. Megan nodded.

"Yeah but at least there's been no permanent damage yet," Megan said gesturing to herself. Everyone mumbled their agreement.

Finally Alice emerged. Alex jumped up to help her. "Alex I'm fine. I don't need help. I'm just a bit sore and I have a headache," she said. "let's go home." Everyone nodded.

"you know I can help you take legal action against it," Humphrey said.

"Thanks Humphrey but I'll be fine," Alice said as they all made their way out the hospital. They all got in the car and drove up to the villa on the near side of the island.

Once they had returned to the villa Megan made her way to the kitchen with Alex who laid out the ingredients for her special curry she was cooking for everyone. Alice, wincing slightly as she walked, took Humphrey out onto the veranda and the twins headed to the TV, closely followed by Alex once he had helped set Megan up.
