The call came on an ordinary Friday, a month after the 'ghost' incident, as the brothers like to call it. Matthew was enjoying family time at its finest by playing 'Cluedo.' He had last pick so he had to be Miss Scarlet. Francis was Mr. Green, although he insisted that 'it was a travesty that they did not have the VCR edition which included Monsieur Brunette,' Alfred was Colonel Mustard because he 'looked like the guy from KFC god dammit!' and Arthur was Professor Plum, after all, 'that's a proper ol'chap, right in the head he is.' Matthew chose Miss Scarlet because, well, Miss Peacock always scared the shit out of him.

Anyways, they were all fighting about who was in the god damn study with the god damn spanner when Matthew's cell phone went off. All the shouting stopped abruptly and the violet-eyed teen reached over to the couch where he had placed his phone before. He got up and walked into the hall, away from the curious eyes of his family. When he walked into the hall he flipped his phone open and put it to his ear.

"Hello?"

"Hey, Matt! What's up kiddo? I gotta seriously big contract right now; do you think you could come in?" Craig said on the other end.

"Really? Now? I'm playing Cluedo with my family." The blonde whined.

"This is big, Matthew! Like serious 'top dollar' shit here." Craig replied seriously. That caught his attention.

"How much are we speaking here?"

"One million, Matthew. One frickin' million. Isn't that-" Matthew didn't hear the rest of the sentence because he had dropped the phone. One million dollars was a lot of dollars.

"Matthew, love, are you alright?" He heard his dad say from the living room. He bent down to retrieve the phone hearing Craig calling his name in question.

"Y-yeah, dad." Matthew called out. "How much?" Matthew whispered harshly into the phone.

"You heard me, Matthew. One mil. Please, with all that is sacred, get over here!" Matthew shifted from one foot to another. A contract this big must mean that it is a prolonged mission. He can go, sign the contract, come home, and then do the hit the day the customer wants it.

"Okay, I'll be there in a few." He answered before hanging up, catching the man's sounds of rejoice on the other end of the line. The teen walked back over to the archway leading into the living room, three pairs of eyes fixated on him.

"So, I've got to go. Um, I'll be back in an hour tops." Matthew said before turning around and heading towards the front door. He had just grabbed his jacket when he felt a hand on his shoulder. He turned to see his Papa looking down at him worriedly.

"Mon cher, where do you go when you leave like this?" Francis asked. Matthew smiled gently.

"Papa, I'm only going over to Gilbert's. His father is being… Antsy again." He replied smoothly. Gilbert was one of Matthew's best friends and most used excuse. Gilbert owed him for all the times he has bailed him out of jail. The albino would probably do it without the debt anyways, though; he always said that Matthew reminded him of someone. The teen noticed his Papa's face twist in suspicion but eventually dissolve into loving care. The long blonde-haired man stepped forward and hugged his son.

"D'accord. Just be careful. Je t'aime beacoup." He said giving Matthew one last squeeze. Said teen looked up at his father with sparkling violet eyes.

"Oui, I will, et Je t'aime aussi." He looked behind Francis to see Arthur standing behind Alfred with a hand on the boy's shoulder. He smiled trying to lighten the mood. "I will be back soon." He reassured his family before walking out the front door.

Wow, so I didn't expect all of the feed back i got for the first few chapters! Thank you to all of the followers/favouriteers (?) who have arrived. I thank you all. And to Treesla Wood: Thank you so much! Yeah, assassin!Canada is probably one of my favourite fandoms!

And just so all of you know Cluedo is the original English (British) version of Clue. I thought it would be appropriate for Arthur to own something like that.

Here are translations:

Mon Cher = My love

D'accord = Okay

Je t'aime beacoup= I love you so much (I love you a lot)

Oui = Yes

Je t'aime aussi = I love you too
