Chapter Sixteen
Christmas Eve Party
Much later, everyone was getting ready to start the party, they had cleared the tables so they could do some dancing and a small stage had been set up for the karaoke. As soon as Nicholas and Karen had helped set everything up and Karen had tested the machine everyone started handing in requests.
Jenny and Julie had started walking around placing mince pies and treats on the tables for everyone to help themselves, all the officers were wearing Santa hats or reindeer ears or tinsel in their hair. Karen then held up the microphone, "ok everyone" she called "you all ready to party?"
"Yeah!" everyone shouted "let's hear you shout hooray!" shouted Karen, "let's get the party started! And let Santa Claus we're here!" Everyone cheered and clapped, "if there was a Santa of course" laughed Chloe "if there was a Santa" said Celia "you think he'd make his wing more like happy all year round than just at Christmas?"
Verona laughed and hugged Celia "you make my life feel like Christmas all the time babe" she said, Celia smiled and blushed as Verona gave her a quick kiss on the lips. "Ok" said Karen "lets get started, first up we've got the Deadly Six Murderesses singing a real Christmas favourite 'I wish it could be Christmas everyday, by Wizzard'!"
Everyone cheered as the Deadly Six with Chloe in tow ran onto the stage and grabbed a microphone each; they then began to take it in turns to sing in twos:
Julia and Kaliyah sang the first verse together:
When the snowman brings the snow
Well he just might like to know
He's put a great big smile, on somebody's face
If you jump into your bed
Quickly cover up your head
Don't you lock the doors
You know that sweet Santa Claus in on the way
Then all the murderesses joined in the chorus as everyone clapped and cheered along.
Well I wish it could be Christmas, every day
when the kids start singing and the band begins to play
Oh, I wish it could be Christmas, every day
Let the bells ring out for Christmas
Then Celia and Verona began to sing the next verse together:
When we're skating in the park
If the snow cloud makes it dark
Then your rosy cheek's gonna light my merry way
Now the frosty paws appear
And they've frozen up my ear
So we'll lie by the fire
'til the sleet simply knocks 'em all away
Well I wish it could be Christmas, every day
When the kids start singing and the band begins to play
Oh, I wish it could be Christmas, every day
So let the bells ring out for Christmas
Then Darlene began to sing the last verse with Chloe singing the backing vocals
When the snowman brings the snow (when the snowman brings the snow)
Well he just might like to know (well he just might like to know)
He's put a great big smile on somebody's face
So if Santa brings that sleigh (Santa brings that sleigh)
All along the Milky Way (along the Milky Way)
I'll sign my name on the rooftop in the snow
Then he may decide to stay
Then Celia held up her microphone and pointed at the audience:
Okay you lot - take it!
Then the audience, all the prisoners including Sylvia, Karen and the other police officers began to join in.
Well, I wish it could be Christmas, every day (Christmas day)
When the kids start singing and the band begins to play (Oh-oh)
Oh, I wish it could be Christmas, every day
Let the bells ring out for Christmas
Then the murderesses sang the last verse together:
Why don't you give your love for Christmas?
When they finished, everyone clapped and cheered and even Chloe began to laugh and clap along as the murderesses acted all silly and the officers clapped and cheered.
As the evening wore on, everyone took it turns to sing on the karaoke, and everyone fell about laughing as Sylvia got into the spirit of things and began to sing 'Barbie Girl' very badly, then Jenny and Julie sang 'Sex Bomb' as some slower songs were being sung by the prisoners the murderesses gathered by the tables eating mince pies and snacks.
"Sure is wonderful that Maxine and Frances got what they deserved!" said Kaliyah "yeah" said Julia "it was good when Sylvia had then sent down there, they'll sure be pissed off when they return" Chloe looked a little worried, Darlene noticed her worry and smiled "ah donta worry Chloe" she said "we won't leta dem near ya again!"
"Yeah" said Julia "and also" said Verona "they'd be in worse trouble if they try anything on you again!" the others nodded, Chloe smiled, as she was about to say something, Karen clapped her hands, "hey everybody!" she shouted "we got a special guest here tonight! And I hope you've all been good because he's got pressies for you!"
She then stepped aside and saw one of the police officers, a large brown bear dressed as Santa Claus, everyone gasped in amazement, "wow!" cried Celia, "can't believe what I'm seeing!" cried Kaliyah. "Ho ho ho!" cried Santa "Merry Christmas Everyone!"
Everyone clapped and cheered, then the bear began to pull out different parcels then began to read the names on them before tossing or handing them to different prisoners. When Santa got to the murderesses they each got a little present, Celia and Verona got a couple of packs of cigarettes, Julia and Chloe got a couple of chocolate bars, Darlene got some bags of brazil nuts and Kaliyah got some fruit bars and a flapjack.
"Wow!" said Kaliyah "this sure is a Christmas I'll never forget!" "You said it!" said Verona, Chloe smiled then turned to Karen who turned on the karaoke machine as four male officers got on the stage and began singing 'YMCA' the murderesses laughed then clapped and danced along making the most of their Christmas Eve party.
Wow! They sure had a bash! Pity Maxine and Frances couldn't join the fun! But who cares? not me! LOL!
