Darcy had left it to late to leave her Secret Santa gift on Agent Rowley’s desk, right until Christmas Eve. But it was for good reason - a large amount of the contents of the large gift basket were home made and best received when fresh.
The basket was large already, but all the heaping curls of ribbon about the handle made the sight even more impressive.
Inside was 6 each double chocolate chip and Christmas cake muffins, and 6 each gingerbread and mocha cupcakes, all with a large swirl of buttercream frosting and a scattering of chocolate and sugar decorations.
There were individually wrapped white chocolate snowman, each hiding mini oreo’s within their sections, and small cellophane bags of candy cane truffles.
A tin, featuring a group of puppies wearing Santa hats, were a few dozen cookies. A mix of jam thumbprints, lemon shortbread, orange creams and oat raisin.
Lining the bottom of the basket were bottles of liquor - a bottle of 30 year aged scotch, a spiced rum, and a Russian vodka, just to cover all the bases for his drinking pleasure.
And discretely tucked in among the sweets were a couple more personal things - a few packs of guitar strings, and what looked like a plain smart watch, though it was actually linked to SHIELDs network, and contained a powerful laser, along with a kit of miniature lock picking tools hidden in the band.
Sitting beside the basket, and looking quite plain by comparison, was a small glass terrarium with brightly coloured succulents, a spot of freshness for his desk, to remind of the outside world whilst stuck inside SHIELD’s bare offices.
The card stuck to the basket read;
A Very Merry Christmas! I’m a much better baker than shopper, hence the overload of sweet treats from my kitchen. The muffins will hold up well to freezing, but I’d definitely recommend chowing down on those cupcakes (not to toot my own horn, but they’re pretty good).
You might wanna check in with the guys from R&D for instructions for the watch - funnily enough they don’t think to provide an instructional guide. Although the thing should unlock to your fingerprint on the screen, so maybe the stuffs built in. Just try not to shoot yourself with the laser figuring it out!
Hope your Christmas is awesome and full spoils (and absolutely no missions/getting shot at/running for your life).
