Chapter 4: A plan

Never give up on something that you can't go a day without thinking about~Author Unknown

2 months later

"Okay, We have to get Angell" Danny said, throwing up his hands in frustration. For two months they have been trying to track her but she was just too good. She was like the Dutchman. Every time they got close she disappeared. It was eating away inside them, that they were one of the best teams in New York but they could not track her movements.

"Don't worry Danny, we will" Lindsay his wife soothed.

"When?" he scoffed "When the cows come home?"

"Never actually got that line" Lindsay joked as Danny cracked a smile.

"I'm sorry Montana" he said in his thick New York accent "It's just so frustrating to think of one person evading us for such a long time. "

It was late at night in the lab and occasionally for an intern or a person pulling the night shift it was eerily quiet. "Okay, then lets list all the facts we know about her so far." Lindsay said reasonably.

Danny nodded and started by opening her file.

"She was a ex CIA spy, one of the best from the looks of it, she lost her whole family by the time she graduated the police academy and was scouted out by the CIA, specifically a colleague of her father's, she was almost killed by a mission in Siberia, when she did not initiate contact for a month she was ruled dead. Then she came back after a two month absence and told them she had been attacked on the mission by a terrorist group. She only saw three of them. Then she quit the CIA after discovering the mole in the agency. Became involved in white collar crime, she is a known con artist. Is suspected of art, deed and bond forgery also. A deed came onto the market that was discovered to be an excellent forgery. The only way they were able to establish it as a forgery was that when one of the people working in the museum accidentally dropped the deed it did not crumble or tear. If it's as old as they say then it should have torn. It is suspected to be Jessica Angell's work"

Then Lindsay took over "After being compared with several other known forgeries, the oldest being discovered two years ago they concluded it was the same forgery. Intelligence agencies suspect she is in New York. Since Don had worked in White Collar crimes the time Jessica Angell was being tracked he is the best person to track her. He kept updated on the case and worked with the head detective of the case."

"But we still don't know how to track her or bring her down. We suspect she works alone. String operations have been tried in the past with her trying to sell paintings but she never took the bait, just left these notes." Danny said reading the notes she left the law enforcement officers.

'I'm smarter than that' Lindsay read and Danny read another one 'Gotta try harder'

Danny sighed "She might be noble in her own way but she still like her games"

"Maybe the string operations never really actually caught her attention. They were never really about stuff she wanted" Lindsay said slowly.

"You might be right about." Danny said, a plan formulating in his mind. As he reached for his phone to call Don.

Twenty minutes later the whole team was gathered in the conference room. Danny and Lindsay pinned up her picture and all the other necessary documents to the board they had dragged in. "Danny and I were wondering why none of the string operations ever worked before?" Lindsay started as Don, Stella, Mac and Adam looked on sleepily

"And we found out why, they were never about anything she really wanted. If we can find something that will tempt her so much that she will not be able to stay away maybe we can catch her." Danny finished.

The team was looking more alert now. "Something she can't resist" muttered Stella as they all fell into silence trying to come up with a way to lure her out.

"What about her family?" Mac suggested as Don quickly caught up.

"That's a great idea. She lost her whole family so of course she would do anything for their memory. We can offer her something that was left by her family. A family heirloom maybe?" he suggested.

Then Adam spoke up "But how do we get the message to her?"

"Simple" it was Stella who contributed that idea "In the underworld there is a grapevine system like anywhere else. Word of mouth is faster than anything else."

The team was pleased with their plan. Now they just had to hope Jessica Angell fell into their net.

Later that night Don Flack entered his apartment and promptly lay down on his bed. Danny had quickly called him to the office saying there was a break in the Jessica Angell case. They still worked murders but on the side they also tried to solve her case. She had frustrated him unlike any other criminal he had ever faced. There wasn't a ticking clock attached to her like a serial killer or the relentless pursuit of justice that accompanied the murder of an innocent by stander.

He had no reason to hurry. When he first interviewed the people she had conned for a few minutes he had felt grateful to her. The families she stole from were arrogant, superficial and snobby. They made snide comments about what they paid their tax money for and he had thanked his stars he knew how to keep his temper under check cause then he would be involved in an IA investigation involving those snobby upper east side families for messing up their pretty faces.

He lay down in his empty bed happy that he was in between relationships right now so there was nobody beside him to interrupt his thoughts.

He hoped he would be able to capture Jessica Angell. He wanted to know why she did what she did. She quit her CIA duties for what? Why did she pull cons?

"Why Jessica, why?" he asked the dark, berating himself for talking to the dark and especially for taking the name of a criminal. Little did he know this criminal was going to affect him in the most unusual way.

Come on please, pretty please with a cherry on top? What about chocolate covered strawberries on top? That's even better.
