IDIC- New World Order

Part 8 (Friends and Family catching up) PG

Mallory Scott stepped off the transporter pad in the British Embassy in San Francisco. She was greeted warmly by the Ambassador Fredrik Blair.

"Welcome Mallory. It is good to see you once more. M called to say you would be visiting. I hope nothing is wrong?"

Mallory Scott smiled said "Nothing to worry about I am just visiting my cousin Sara."

"Well I hope that we can have lunch while you are here."

"I would enjoy that Freddie. We have a lot to catch up on." Mallory said to her old university friend. "It seems that we both had a break and M was kind enough to give me time off."

"My sister is a good woman but she does work you all to hard."

Mallory laughed as she followed him out. "I always wondered why you did not join the service?"

"And get stuck working for M not a chance. You know she is a pain. I love her dearly but she is way to over protective. I could never stop being her baby brother."

"True enough. Well I must be off or I will be late."

"Have a good time then." Fredrik said smiling "I am off to meet with the president of the United States. I have a feeling it will be troublesome. You might want to warn John Grayson and Harris."

"I will thank you." Mallory said understanding that Fredrik would not share details as he did not yet have them. Then he was also discreet but he was her friend and he would help where he could.

Fredrick nodded as he left her to do her to go to enjoy her family time. He knew that despite her words there was more going on. However he would never pry. If Mallory needed his help he would be there.

Mallory left the embassy and noted that the weather was far warmer here then in London. She removed her overcoat and climbed into the non descript cab Sara had sent. She was glad that Sara sent a cab as it was not the Grayson Limo. It was far easier to move around without notice by using public transportation.

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Harris brought the supplies that Sara asked for into their kitchen. He kissed her cheek. "I got the supplies. So John knows we are not available?"

Sara chuckled at this. "Yes both he and Maria know. In fact John suggested we do something. Remember today his their anniversary. He is taking Maria out to dinner."

"Well he certainly has changed." Harris said laughing.

Sara grinned as he kissed her. "I think he is taking a lesson from you my beloved."

"Maybe, Where is he taking her?"

"He is taking her to Miami. He has a reservation on the Lady Belle. A romantic cruise and dinner and dancing."

"Not bad. I think Maria will enjoy it. She certainly deserves a nice time out." Harris said "Lord knows John owes her a lot of dinners."

Sara nodded. "Check the wine Harris it should be chilled and could you---"

The bell rang on their private quarters. Harris answered the door. Over his shoulder he said "I will check the door honey. Then open the wine to breathe."

Sara said "Bring her to the kitchen honey." Sara knew Mallory preferred a more informal dining arrangement and she would likely want to help.

Mallory smiled as Harris greeted her.

"Welcome Mallory." Harris said

"It is good to see you Harris. Where is Sara?"

"She is in the kitchen. Come on through. I have to open the wine. Red or White?"

"Red of course. What do you have?"

"Only the best for you. Château Picard 2020."

"Harris that will be wonderful. I am going to check on Sara while you do this."

"Go on into the kitchen she is expecting you. Leave your top coat I will hang it up," Harris said

"I will. " Mallory said amused. She walked though and noted Sara was finishing up a lovely green salad."

"Can I help?"

"Mix the dressing." Sara said grinning. Now was family time. Soon enough they have to get down and dirty but no sense not letting Mallory relax some first.

Mallory laughed and did as ordered she had missed this. She loved cooking with Sara and it was very relaxing.
