Friends and traitors (7)

Christopher reluctantly opened the box in front of him and found… a remote controller with 'increase' and 'decrease' buttons. He clicked the 'decrease' one, but nothing happened. Next, he tried the 'increase' one and realized that it controls lights in the room.

Christopher's lips twitched. Is this some kind of a joke? Everyone got something good, well maybe not Bradley, but… he got a remote control for lights?!

"What should I do with this?", Christopher asked Jeff as calmly as he could muster.

"Increase all the way. Who knows what will be revealed?", Jeff hid his smirk behind the glass of water he sipped from. Jeff would usually drink something stronger when in the company of his five buddies, but since JoAnna is pregnant he is supporting her by staying away from alcohol.
