A BIRTHDAY PARTY

Kevin was confused. Blue didn't mince words at all and immediately asked something he was avoiding.

He and Kris had agreed to take Jack and Blue off the investigative mission for their safety, but now that the blue-eyed girl was suddenly asking that question, he didn't know how to avoid it anymore.

The young scientist didn't say anything, but Kris seemed to be able to sense his lover's concern. "Turn on the speakers and let me talk to Blue, Kev," he ordered his lover tenderly.

Kevin glimpsed at Kris, and the latter nodded at the former to assure that he would be the one who talked to his niece.

Kevin appreciated his lover's understanding, and he smiled at his lover before turning on the speakers.
