Amaya said to Jack:" Is there any food ingredients? I would like to cook ranther than eat fast food, especially leftover fast food. I have to say your plan for Christmas food is not good. I had a dreamless sleep, and why you did you have such a, humm, weird dream? By the way, is Clayton W. Roberts the guy who delivered you the bag yesterday?"
"Sorry that I am a food junkie and my lack of consideration for healthy food,"
Jack apologized. "Apparently, my fridge has not been stocked up for our party but we do have some eggs, milk and stale bread...... I won't mind having scrambled egg on toast, if you are willing to cock....."
"Weird dream indeed! As if I were 10 years ahead in the future, where cats rule the Internet! And please don't do your psychology thing on me, I just tend to have bizarre dreams,"
Jack lamented."
"No, it was not Uncle Roberts. He only delivers regular mails,"
Jack recalled. "It was delivered by some FedEx or DHL guy. Does it matter?"
"By the way, the usual don't-wake-me-up-till-11 am couple were unusually early today...... In fact, they had left our party very early this morning. By now,
Muller would have brought
Verona to the hospital. She puked early this morning...... I would like to believe that she is pregnant rather than issue with last night's dinner."
================================================
"Jack, i had a great sleep. Haven't felt so good for a long time since i'm always ... just a bit ... under work-related stresses."
Catherine poured another cup of cocoa, seemingly to enjoy the hot sweet drink more that reheated pizza.
"I might have dreamed, but i can't recall. You know it's hard to tell what actually happened in your dream. For example, do you remember the exact method you used in your dream, to defeat those...Nyan Cats?"
She watched Archer making the call and did not pay much attention to that. Detectives like archer always behave differently from others.
"Since the Nyan Cat's evil master plan of world domination by making people addicted to cats......via the Internet, Captain Ninja Star engineered a computer virus that was capable of access denial of webpages."
Jack blushed, "All I did was email the virus to myself and then it would propagate itself, multiply and ultimately shut down the Internet."
================================================
For
Archer only.

After three minutes, your colleague replied, "Clayton W. Roberts, nicknamed Smith, male, 45, caucasian, single. with no children. U.S. postal carrier. Worked at the River District post office for the past nine years. No other jobs.
Found dead in [Jack's town] yesterday evening, supposedly after his delivery duty. No known eye witness. A passerby, Simon Richards, found Roberts' body slumped standing against his U.S. Postal Service van, next to the opened driver's side door, with his back to the wooded area. Three stabs by sharp object, presumably knife, on the back. The fatal wound being the stab right throught his heart. His wallet was intact. It don't seem to be robbery. Motive for the murder unknown.
He was clean: no criminal record, no affiliation to anything unusual. Just an everyday good citizen.
Well, if you were to ask me, I don't see any reason for the murder. Perhaps wrong target?
Anyway, I am going for Christmas party....... and consider these information as a Christmas present from me. Free of charge. Let me make this clear: DO NOT contact me any more."
Before you have a chance to respond, your colleague had hung up the telephone. You put the telephone back to the receiver.
================================================
A few minutes after
Archer finished his secretive conversation on the telephone.
"Ring~Ring~"
"Huh I wonder who miss me,"
Jack said as he went to answer the telephone.
After exchanging a few lines,
Jack put down the receiver and announced, "Hey guys, guess what? My neighbour, Weir, will be coming over and join us in crashing other people's parties! Oh boy, this is so exciting!"
A couple of minutes later,
Jack walked to the front door in measured steps and swung open the door. Outside stood a young man who
Jack led through into the dining room.
"
Archer,
Catherine and
Amaya, meet
Weir!"
"
Weir, meet
Archer,
Catherine and
Amaya!"
