Chapter 5

"Dong, dong", Reid woke up with a start and stood up immediately, rubbing his eyes as he reached under his bed for the basket that he kept there but found it missing.

Strange, the basket has never gone missing since he started keeping it there.

"Maybe I should ask Luke if he saw it" he muttered as he started running his hands all over the bed.

Then his eyes caught an object just at the center of the bed, "phone?, what is it doing here?" he wondered then reached for the phone and took it.

"Dong dong" the sound came again and Reid almost dropped the phone he was holding. As he stared into the phone and saw that someone was calling him, the sleepiness cleared from his eyes.

"You son of a bitch !, I am going to kill you if I meet you !" he cursed when the phone rang through.

There was a series of laughter from the other side before a voice asked, "you were surprised right?, I know that you would be".

"You think it is funny right?, wait until I get you and strangle you" Reid threatened.

"Oh, I am so scared, mommy please save me from Reid" the caller said imitating a baby's voice.

"I am hanging up jerk" Reid said and proceeds to hang up but the person told him to wait.

"What do you want Luke?"

"Nothing, just wanted to remind you we were asked to come to the headquarters" he said.

"Is that all Luke?"

"Yeah but don't you wanna know why?"

"I don't care, bye Luke" he said and then  hung up the call.

Reid looked around the room, he was actually at his parent's house  and not the military base like he thought when he woke up.

The sound of his ringtone was similar to the sound of the bell used to wake them up every morning and talking about his ringtone, he never remembered changing it or else...

"I am really going to kill him" he muttered.

Glancing on the wall clock in the room, the time was thirty minutes past five in the morning.

And he didn't even remember to ask Luke the time they will be expected at the headquarter, he took the phone back to call him when a text message entered his phone.

It was from Luke, so he just clicked on it, the text says, "Tomorrow, Lelia Morin is coming to appreciate us  and we have to be there before 9:00 AM"

"Idiot, you could have just texted this instead of calling me"  he said and kept the phone back but not before sending a thank you message to him.

Reid went back to sleep and only woke up when his mother came to wake him up for breakfast.

"Wake and come downstairs for breakfast, Reid !" his mother called from outside.

He then woke up and went into the bathroom to freshen up, after that he wore some casual clothes and went downstairs.

When he got downstairs he could smell the aroma of is mom food wafting from the kitchen, "wow, that smells delicious" he muttered before heading to the dining room.

"I thought you won't be joining us for breakfast, Mr soldier?" his sister asked when he entered the dining room.

"There is no way that I am going to skip eating if it was mom cooking, I only skip if it is you cooking" Reid replied and sat down.

"So you are indiretly saying that I am a bad cook?, how dare you?"

"Didn't say that Mia, but now you have said it I realize that it is kinda  true" he smirked at her.

Angry, Mia took her glass of water and wanted to pour at Reid when their mother came in.

"Stop disturbing your brother, Mia" she said so Mia kept the glass back.

"He was insulting my food" she complained.

"Well at least you are a better cook than him" their mother replied.

"Mom"

"Eat up, both of you"

"Thank you mom" they chorused and started eating.

Just halfway through his food, his phone started ringing.

"Like seriously, you used that sound as your ringtone, you must really like this your job" Mia commented, her mouth hanging open

Reid had actually forgot to change it after Luke pulled that prank on him, "let me take this, I am coming" he excused himself out of the room.

When he was outside, he answered the call, "good morning colonel" he greeted when the line connected.

"Good morning Donovan, how are you doing?" the colonel asked.

"I am fine, Sir" Reid replied.

"Good, you heard about the charity program in the headquarter today?" he asked.

"Yes sir"

"Okay, come to my office after the program ends"

"Okay sir"

The line was disconnected so Reid went back into the living room and resumed eating, after he was done he helped his sister to clear away the dishes.

They were now in the kitchen washing the dishes, Mia was washing while Reid was rinsing, "where did Dad and Lucy go?" he asked Mia.

"I have no idea, they were gone before I woke up" she replied.

"Okay," he said.

Afterwards Reid went back to his room where he started preparing to go out, he wore his uniform and topped it with the cap.

He was all ready so he took his phone and dialed Luke's number, "hey what's up, Reid?" Luke asked when the phone rang through.

"Cool, I am already on my way" he said.

"Me too, see you soon" Luke replied.

Reid then hung up the call, stealing one last look at the mirror he left the room to the living room.

"Wow, you look dashing, brother" Mia commented.

"Thanks"

"Will you be coming back today son?" his mother asked approaching him.

"Yes mom, it is just a charity program that would just take a couple hours" he replied.

"Okay son,  take care" his mother said while adjusting his uniform.

"Thanks mom" he replied and then left the house.

He walked out of the yard and proceeds to walk to the bus stop when a car horned loudly behind him, he shifted immediately thinking that he was blocking the way.

But as he shifted and turned he saw that the car was parked, angry and flustered, he strolled to the car to asked the driver why he did that.

He reached the car and was about to knock at the window when it pulled down by itself revealing Luke.

"Oh it is you?. why am I not surprised?"

"Because I always unpredictable, hop in let's go" Luke said.

Reid entered the car and he drove off, "I thought you said you were already on your way to there?"

"Yeah I was but then I decided to come and pick you up, am I not a good friend?"

Reid ignored the question and just switched the radio on and relaxed to listen to the music playing.

"Don't you ever touch my radio again !" Luke snapped, glaring at him.

"You, don't touch my phone, I will talk with you later about that little stunt you pulled in the morning" he shot back.

At the mention of that Luke burst out laughing, he laughed so hard that he had to stop the car so that he would laugh comfortably.

"I bet you are feeling proud of what you did huh?"

"Of course, why wouldn't I be proud?. it is the prank of the year"

Reid reached his hand towards him and pulled him hard on the collar while Luke tried to get his hands away from him.

"You motherfucking asshole , jerk, dumb-ass," they cursed among themselves.

After they were done with their little fight, Luke resumed driving while complaining that Reid had messed up his uniform.

"You asked for it dummy, this will teach you not to mess with me again" Reid replied.

"By the way, how are you planning for your vacation trip?" Luke asked, glancing at him.

I won't be going to any trip, Reid said in his mind.

"Well they just told us yesterday, I haven't thought about it yet" he replied.

"Okay, well you should and make sure that  you enjoy yourself while there"

"I have heard you" mom" now eyes on the road before you hit another car".

"You asshole !" Luke cursed and they started cursing at  each other.

After a thirty minute drive, they arrived at the headquarters and drove inside the premises.

"What again did you say they are doing today?" Reid asked as he got out of the car.

"A charity and appreciation program organized by the sweet and kind Leila Morin" Luke replied coming out too.

"Did you just say Moran?" Reid asked, his eyes widened in surprised, wasn't that the name of the family that has the mafia group he was asked to destroy.

"No, dummy Morin, M..O..R..I..N, which is Lelia's surname and M..O..R..A..N Moran is the name of the mafia group trying to take the country down it's feet" Luke explained thoroughly.

A deep sigh of relief escaped  Reid's lips at the explanation, his head almost exploded a while ago when he thought it was the same surname with the mafia group.
