countdown

To say you could do your job fully i a crowded party room would be stupid, though you knew no one here would do something so stupid as to attack Jully, especially before the right time. All you could really do was scan the crowd and keep an on anyone getting too rowdy and make sure every other guard was in teir position.

The mansion still had plenty of guards and most of the staff were gone for the night, just in case something did go down when everyone was away, but the majority of the hired guards for the Tellers were currently at the party, like you keeping an eye on things and ready for the innevitable. You heard the guards keeping in contact and signing in at the right time, the earpiece you had in bussing with Blitz' voice as he kept everyone and everything in order.

Checking your own watch you could see it was ten minutes to midnight, ten minutes till it'd all innevitably go down.

"How big tall and sexy, wanna dance?" You heard a familiar voice ask, looking around you see your now fiance smiling up at you

"Maybe later, if this place is still standing." You give her a quick smile before looking around again

"How big you think it's gonna get?" Hot Head asked you as she stook by your side

"Considering who we've pissed off the last few months, I've no doubt it's gonna be a night to remember" you reply while thinking "Plus that idiot turned up, with something new. Too much of a coincidence if you ask me"

You looked around the room again and noticed Jully's parents weren't around, or at least you couldn't see them. Which told you there were either having a bit of private fun before things really kicked off, or they were getting ready.

Glancing at your watch, it was five minutes to midnight.

"You going to be alright? Pretty dense crowd, don't want anyone to get hurt" You asked Hot Head, refering to her powers.

"Don't worry, most of this lot will be leaving once the real party gets started" Hot head smiled at you "Won't be able to full power but I'll be able to handle anything thrown at us"

"Here's hoping" leaning down you give Lilly a kiss on the lips "For luck."

Checking your watch again, you made your way to the centre of the room where jully was standing, lights going down as spotlight turned on and focused on her. the music stopping as the DJ asked everyone to countdown to midnight, and for Jully's birthday to trully begins
