Christopher walked into the kitchen, looking around and trying not to look suspicious. Kyrano was there preparing food for the evening meal.

"Mission accomplished, Kyrano!" Christopher smiled as he held up the bag of produce. "And I'm keeping Asterix happy for the next few weeks."

(Flashback)

BEEP BEEP BEEP

"Shurrup!" Christopher mumbled as he pressed the button on top of his alarm clock. He opened his eyes slowly to see Asterix looking at him reproachfully, before the little cat started to clean himself.

"Off you get," Christopher said as he turfed Asterix off the bed. "Your Dad has got a lot to do today."

Yawning and scratching himself, Christopher trudged to the bathroom and took a shower. The hot water massaged his joints as he went through the tasks for the day. After drying himself off, he trudged to the kitchen and chuckled to himself as Asterix began winding himself around his master's feet, purring and meowing.

"I love you too." Christopher smiled as he opened the cupboard to get the cat food. He couldn't find anything.

"Asterix," he said as he looked down at the expectant face of his pet. "I've run out of cat food"

Asterix looked up at him and tilted his head. "Rrrroow!" he expressed impatiently.

"I know!" Christopher kept looking in the cupboard. "You are eating it too quickly."

Christopher walked over to the fridge and opened it, taking out a dish of chopped up chicken. The 'emergency supplies' he called it. After unwrapping the dish, he placed it on the floor, but not before shaking some of the dried food on the top. Asterix started eating straight away.

"Take it easy, lad," Christopher said. "This has to last you until I go shopping later today." Thankfully, Mr Tracy had said that he could fly the elder Mrs Tracy and the children to Christchurch. It would give him an opportunity to get the ingredients he wanted.

Shaking his head, Christopher wandered out of the apartment, and after a short walk he found himself in the spot where Kyrano had told him where the flowers he wanted were situated.

He selected some lovely flowers. "She'll love these," Christopher muttered to himself, then he went back to his flat where he put the flowers in a preservation gel and wrapped them in some nice paper before writing a cryptic message card without his signature.

Going back to the lift, he went down to the monorail terminal. Getting inside the car, he pressed the button that took him to the Villa.

The monorail doors slid open and Christopher walked out along the corridor to the main Villa complex.

As he counted on, nobody was awake yet, so he headed to the dining room. Pausing for a moment, he placed the bouquet on the table there, in Tin-Tin's normal place. Then with a small smile to himself, he walked away.

(End of Flashback)

"So did Tin-Tin like the flowers?" Christopher asked eagerly.

"My daughter was surprised and tried to discover who had sent them," Kyrano's eyes sparkled. He looked around his kitchen.

"All is prepared Mr Jordan," he said. "Good luck with your endeavours."

"Thank you, Kyrano." Christopher smiled.

The old man left the kitchen. Christopher saw Cherie setting the table. Walking nonchalantly into the dining room he said to the girl, "Don't worry, Cherie. I haven't forgotten my promise." Christopher had asked Cherie the evening before to help him keep people out of the kitchen as he worked on the special meal, promising her a chocolate mousse all her own as a reward for her diligence.

Cherie just smiled as Christopher headed back into the kitchen to begin his work.
