Declan sighed, it was his first day as being the sole chief at the station and he was nervous. He walked in, people looked at him confused, not used to the sight of him walking in alone. His brother yes, him no. He ignored them the best he could. He remembered Aiden's advice about walking into the station 'Don't' say a thing just go directly to our office, it will show you're not afraid of them. If you need help ask Rose she's the only real competent one there.'
He came to his office and Rose said "Hello Goodcop, I got your brother's message. I hope he feels better soon." He smiled at her saying "Thanks Rose and I'll tell him." She nodded back at him and returned to her own work. Declan walked in and sighed, that was one thing accomplished now for the next part. He was glad this next part for him would be easy, paper work.
He smiled as he sat at his chair, there were two chairs on either side of the large desk. It was facing vertically so that they could both see the door open when it did. Declan got to his desk, sat down, and began to put the paper work in order. Suddenly he had a thought. He wanted to call Piper, their first date was ruined, but maybe he could make it up to her. But where?
From what he remember Piper knew allot about nature and loved animals, the park would be good. They could meat up tomorrow actually since his work ended at three tomorrow since he had an early day. He smiled at this and called.
Piper was in her room reading, yesterday had been allot and she was glad to be having some time to just relax. Then her phone went off. She picked it up and said "Hello" "Piper it's Declan."
She smiled saying "Declan hi, how are you? You're brother, is he okay?" "Yeah he is my parents are taking care of him for now. What about you, you doing okay?" "Yeah I'm fine, still a little shaky from yesterday. I hate that our date got ruined by that duplo." Declan then sighed "Yeah me too, but I have an idea, we could go to the park? Their only being spotted near public places, it's not the populated and maybe we'll catch a break."
She chuckled saying "Maybe, okay what time?" "Is three good for you?" "Yeah that's fine." Declan then swallowed as he said "Um I also wanted to know if um you would like to uh maybe have a picnic." She smiled, thinking 'He is so sweet. How does he know how to charm a girl? Well at least it's something calm and nice.' She said "That's sounds so sweet of you. Do you need me to bring anything?"
Declan shook his head even though he knew she couldn't see him and said "No no I'll bring everything don't worry. How do you feel about some croissants and chocolate milk?" "That's sounds perfect, and relaxing for the park. I'll see you then." He nodded and said "Yeah I'll see you, bye." "Bye." And so they hung up. Declan still had a blush on his face and a wide smile he really hoped this date went well. Now to get back to his paper work.
Meanwhile Piper was giddy with excitement and said "I can't wait I can't believe he actually wants to hang out again!" Victoria came in saying "Piper what's wrong?" Piper said "Nothing's wrong, Declan asked me out again, he's taking me fore a picnic in the park. I never even told him that I like the park. I can't believe he actually wants to see me again, most guys would be afraid of a girl that could take on a duplo, twice." Victoria then said "Then he must actually like you, by the way you're taking your brother." "Aw mom! I can take care of myself!"
Aiden was so bored. He was on the couch with the tv on, his mother was in the kitchen and his dad was working on some project. He sighed; he usually didn't watch tv, only when Declan forced him to have a movie night. A slightly sad smile spread on his lips, he didn't think he ever miss his brother this much. He wondered if he could find any of those movies? He grabbed the crutch the doctor gave him and tried to get up, but suddenly "Oh no you don't! If you want something just ask son."
It was Pa cop, also known to many as Glendon. Aiden sighed saying "Pa I was just seeing if there were any movies." Pa's eyes lit up as he said "Oh that reminds me. I brought something for you boys to see later on when your brother comes to visit tonight." Ma cop, or Margaret as she was known said "Oh that's right we brought the home movies." Aiden was shocked, he thought he hid that thing.
Pa then said "Oh Aiden I forgot to tell you, your buddies the builders are coming over tonight as well to check up on you." Margaret then said "You have such good friends' sweetie, oh they might love to see the home movie as well." Aiden's eyes were wide in shock behind his glasses as his mind was screaming 'NOOOOOOOOOOOO!' he knew right then and there that his pride would die tonight. Somebody taser him.
Suddenly Margarat came up and said as he held a spoon to his mouth saying "Oh I haven't done this since you were a little boy. Open up for the cop car weee woo wee woo." Correction his pride just died now. he was about to tell her he wasn't a baby, but she took the opportunity to shove the spoon in his mouth, he would of complain but the taste of his mother home cooking calmed him down.
Okay maybe he could let her have this moment for now. He said nothing even though his face was flushed with embarrassment but he enjoyed the food that was being shoveled in his mouth.
