*Chap27*- Picnic...
It had been three weeks since Philip had arrived. Three weeks full of fun. After only a few days he had fitted in and everyone knew who the young was and because of this Danny had given him a bit of leeway. Due to the fact that Mac was the one who had told Philip the new rules, so to speak, he had obeyed every single one!
Philip had discovered a lot about the 35th floor of the building. He had found many little hiding places where he was sure even Mac didn’t know about. In between adventures Adam had shown him many new lab tricks from GSR tests to fingerprints and from chemical analysis to ALS techniques. Half of the stuff Philip didn’t understand the process of but he loved the result.
After Mac’s permission Adam had given him his own fingerprint kit and after a week he had nearly everybody’s fingerprints of who worked with his Uncle. In between his lab adventures he had eaten a lot of pizza, visited the zoo, been to the park many times, played baseball, played ‘cops and robbers’ with Danny and anyone else he could get to play (which included Mac), drawn pictures of all the team but most importantly he had been a big brother to ‘Lindy’.
It was Sunday afternoon, it was Philip’s last day and everyone was at the park. Everyone was eating, talking and playing: Philip, Danny, Flack, Mac, Stella, Adam, Hawkes, Sid, Danny’s mum, dad, Louie and Lucy.
‘So detective do you want some more juice?’
‘Yes pwease Stella,’ Philip said as he picked up his cup and walked over. Stella lent forward from her position next to Flack and poured the juice, ‘I dinked Fack wants somed duce too!’
‘Why’d you say that Phil?’ Flack asked.
‘Becaused uncle Danny says dat when he’s withed stella hisd tongue hanged out like a dog and they are firsty whend dey do dat right?’
Philip walked away as Danny called him for ice-cream leaving Stella laughing at Flack.
‘Come on ‘Fack’ lighten up!,’ Stella smirked and then looked back to see Philip now eating ice-cream with is uncle, ‘Don’t you think it’s gonna be strange?’
‘Strange?’ Flack asked as Stella sat back down next to him.
‘You know not having him around; I mean he’s fitted in perfectly.’
‘Yeah I suppose but I’m more worried about Danny not having his little side kick around,’ they both laughed as they watched the two chasing each other.
‘It makes me think about what it’s going to be like when Linds grows up, you know? What do you reckon it’ll be like?’
‘What when Lindsay grows up,’ Stella nodded as they continued to watch Danny, ‘Well I reckon she’s gonna be as stubborn as her damn parents!’
Stella laughed, ‘Come on let’s go get Phil and the others and we can have another game of football.’
‘Right,’ Flack said as he stood up pulling Stella with him.
After a quick game they all went back over to the rugs to eat the last of the food, ‘Mac you are wayed better dan Uncle Dan at football!’ Mac laughed as Philip started to stuff a slice of pizza in his mouth.
‘Watch yourself there Phil, you don’t want to choke!’
Philip chewed and chewed until he could swallow the last bit, ‘Sorry mac btd Nude Ork’s Pizza is sooo tasty and I won’t get any more after today.’
Philip walked over and sat down on Mac’s lap, ‘So aren’t you excited about going home and seeing your mum and dad?’
‘Yeh but I’m going to missed everyone! Am I going to have to give my badged back?’
Mac looked down and smiled, ‘No don’t be silly, that’s your badge and you’ll need it when you next come to New York plus you’ve got to show your friends right?’
Philip nodded, ‘Thanks,’ he said as he hugged Mac.
‘I tell you what when we’ve finished up here you and me can go back to the lab to get some thing ok?’
‘Ok, can I haved some more iced cream?’
‘Sure buddy, go ask Stella, she’s sitting on the cooler!’
