The Expected

"Whoa, you bought a lot, dude!" Drake said, seeing the three boxes of fireworks.

"The mansion must be among them, right?" asked Jack.

"That's all for here," said Zev. "The one for that has been brought down to the mansion."

"You mean we're going to spend New Year's here?" Kross asked in shock.

"Well, Jody and I plan to spend New Year's here. You guys will celebrate the New Year at the mansion," said Zev.

Cassy smirked. "Hmmm, it looks like the young master has other plans."

Zev just smiled but said nothing. "Are you seriously going to kick us out of the mansion?" Audrey asked.

"You are safe in the mansion. Many people will help you there," said Zev.

"But what about Jody? Are you two seriously staying here?" Laurie asked.

"Loel and I will take care of her," Zev said as Jody turned to him.

"Are you serious that we're going to celebrate New Year here?" asked Jody.
