Here it is, sorry if you had to wait!
Did you know that Cleavland is a big place?
Well it is.
And do you know how many security cameras it has?
A lot.
Me and my team had been stuck in the little tech room for hours, trying to catch even the smallest glimpse of Caffrey, and we were all fairly irritated by now.
"You guys," I announced standing up, "I'm going for a drive, to see if there is news about the bonds. Call me if you find anything." I commanded
I got a few replies, and satisfied, I headed for my car.
By the time I reached the lab it was almost 10:00, and I was ready to claw somebody eyes out, but I climbed out of the car anyways, and trudged through the parking lot, fighting the snapping wind every step of the way.
The little building itself was quite sophisticated, and it was full of those nerdy I-Could-Kill-You-With-A-Pen type of people, but none of this bothered me, as I headed for the lab.
"My name is Agent Burke. I'm here to see some bonds." I told the a red head in a lab coat.
"Down that hall to the left." She chirped, not looking up from her file.
I followed her directions, and thought about the affect this could have on my case.
'Is it his work?' That's all I would have to ask, and then I could take, and chase the kid down.
I stepped into a dark room, and was instantly surprised.
I found no one there but a tall, black clad girl, who couldn't have been more than 25, and I could hardly see the floor for all the junk and files that were strewn about.
"Can I help you?" The goth girl asked, her vice polite and controlled, but her dark kohl rimmed eyes busy, under her thick, black bangs.
I'm looking for Dr. Pierrette?" I stammered, uncomfortable in the dark, crowded room.
"Well you found her, now I'm kind of busy, so unless this is important...." She let the thought go, once again distracted by her work.
I found it hard to believe that this young, messy, rebellious girl came so highly recommended by the NY-PD, but I forced out my question any ways.
"I'm here to look at some supposedly forged bonds, do you have them ready?"
Finally, I thought, as I saw her jerk her eyes up, and look at me with amazement.
"Oh," she squeaked, "I've been waiting for you, these bonds are amazing. I almost didn't catch the flaw!"
My heart thumped at her words, Is there really a flaw?
This could seal the case!
"Let me see." I commanded, part of my brain yelling at me for my bad manners, but the other half not caring.
"Fine Mr. Pushy," she sang, unaffected by my words, "come over her and look at the upper right hand corner.
I did as I was told, looking down at the squiggly lines.
"These ones here," she pointed, "The ink is blurred, and THAT is a thumb print."
She could have grown a third foot at that moment, and I wouldn't have been more amazed.
This girl pretty much just sealed the case!
"I'll need a copy of this, and I'll need it sent to my office." I clipped.
She got this shocked look on her face, like I slapped her or something, and then she started to giggle.
"Don't you want to see the rest?" Thees more?
"Show me."
"Here, here, here, and here. These spots are all fingerprints, so if you find me a guy, I'll tell you if its his work."
"Now can you send it to my office and make a file?" I asked, very jittery to be going all of the sudden.
"Yes Sir!" She shouted in a low, military like voice, but then she giggled and started to strip off her rubber gloves.
"You're copy's and the counter by the door, and it'll be at your office in 5." Wow what a help full little weirdo I had found.
"Thank you Dr. -"
"Lin."
"What?"
"My names Lin."
"Oh, well thank you, Lin." I corrected and started to walk out of the building.
I heard her shout behind. "Bye, Mr. Pushy."
But I ignored her, as I stepped out out into the cool air.
Once again, I was just sitting there, while my criminal was out planing/doing who-knows-what!
I should probably call El, she might- But my cell phone cut of the thought, and I reached down to pick it up.
"Agent Burke. How can help you." I said, out of habit, not even looking to see who it was.
"Boss, we found him! He cut through an alley, and he's in that little corner store RIGHT NOW!"
"Were?"
"On first and west."
"Meet me down there."
"With who?"
"Everyone." Then I shoved the phone back into my pocket, and spun my car round.
I ran over every possible scenario in my head, and every possible outcome, then I thought about what I knew about Neal Caffrey.
Basically a pacifist, a total genius, cocky.
It all ran through my mind hen I saw that little store.
I slowed, and slammed to a stop in the parking lot.
Carefully, I warned myself, but I couldn't help but be a little jittery.
I pushed open the double doors and scanned the room.
There were so many possible exits that a man like Neal could take advantage of.
But I walked up to him anyways, and stood right behind him, as he grabbed a carton of milk.
He turned, but as soon as he saw me his body went rigid, and his eyes filled with shock.
"Neal Caffrey your under arrest."
I'm sill working on more I just can't decide were I want the chase to end!
I hoped you like it, please review no matter what you think, though! :)
