*I am really sorry for this late update. I got stuck.
After a long and thorough search, nothing was found. One of the agents came to the kitchen where Daisy and Angie stood. "Ms. Noam, we are very sorry for this". The agent glanced at Daisy's terrified face. "What is going on?"She asked. "We were trying to find something which was stolen."
Angie took a deep breath, "This is about Neal Caffrey, isn't it?"
"He is arrested. We suspected that he had hid it here."
"How did you know that Caffrey had been here?"
"Agent Burke knew about your relationship and he made the call to check your house."
"Peter? He sent you here?"
"We have to be thorough."
"How long have Neal been arrested?"
"Since yesterday"
"Have you seen him with anything suspicious?" The agent was careful with this question.
"No." Angie's answer was brief but very deep at the same time. The agent took leave. "Where is Neal, Angie?" Daisy asked in a little voice.
"I will call Uncle Mozzie and find out." Daisy nodded and walked into her room as Angie called Mozzie.
He had barely picked up the phone before Angie burst out, "Where is Neal? What is going on?"
"Angie, He didn't do it. Someone is framing him."
"Why haven't anyone told me?"
"He said that he didn't want to worry you."
"Are you kidding me?"
"He will get out."
"Did he do it?"
"No! He is not that stupid."
"I want to talk to him now."
"You can't. The suits are not allowing it."
"Mozzie, this is not a joke! They were searching my house! Peter asked them to do that!"
"They searched your house?"
"Yeah, and Daisy is very scared and confused!"
"He will get out soon."
"Why is he a suspect?"
There was a pause, "I can't talk right now."
"Mozzie! Mozzie!"
He hung up. She tossed the phone away but managed to control herself for Daisy sake. Daisy was looking from behind the doors when Angie turned around. Slowly, she walked toward her and hugged her. The rest of evening went with cleaning and in the night, Daisy slept in Angie's room. The next morning Angie followed Daisy to school and when she came home, she called Neal and Mozzie but no one answered. In despair and stress she went to the restaurant for her shift. Lisa had already brought Daisy home when Angie came home. Lisa smiled, "She is fine."
"I know", Angie replied.
"Are you? Daisy told me what happened."
"I need to talk to Peter. Can you look after Daisy for a bit longer?"
"Angie, are you sure that you should go there now?"
"I need to."
Lisa did not say anymore as Angie was rushing out of the door. As she reached the house of the Burkes, she realized that the shadows around her were gone and she was now in a complete darkness. She had lost herself. As soon as she knocked on the door, she planned to run away but the door opened to soon and Peter burke stood before. He sighed and opened the door more to show her in. Elisabeth greeted her kindly, and insisted on making some tea. There was only silence when Peter sat down on the chair and watched her. He was waiting for her to say something.
"What happened?"
"His finger prints were found on the crime scene. Have you heard about the museum heist few days ago?"
"Yeah. So what was stolen?"
"A small wooden box, it is a museum piece. Classical design, very old."
"Why would he do that?"
"I don't think he did."
"You were confident enough to let them search my house."
"I never expected them to find anything. I just wanted to be sure about it."
"Is he free?"
"Not yet, but he will be soon. I am sure of it."
"Will you let me know?"
"Of course. Are you alright?"
"I need you to be honest with me. Should I stop seeing Neal?"
Peter leaned back but did not say anything.
"I have a daughter now, and I have to know if I am hurting here by being with Neal?"
"He is not the best influence... but Angie you are the best influence on him."
"I am not sure that I can afford. You didn't see Daisy. She was scared."
"I am sorry that I had to put you through that."
"Who knows, maybe it is a wakeup call."
Elisabeth walked in with the cups. Nothing else was said. Elisabeth asked about everyone but in the end Angie had excuse herself leave. Elisabeth was not happy about it but there was nothing else to say. By the time Angie got home, Daisy was in bed and fallen into a deep sleep.
"What are you going to do?" Lisa asked eventually.
"I am going to... sleep on it." Lisa took the hint and hugged Angie dearly before she left. Once again the shadows had disappeared into darkness, and Angie walked slowly toward her bed for sleepless hours. In morning she could barely get up. She was tired and quickly irritated. It was only when a familiar face walked in to cafe that Angie was able to forget everything bothered her.
The charming man walked in and his elegant appearance lightened the room. "Mr. Kane?" Angie said in shock.
"So you do remember me?" He smiled.
"Of course, I do."
"But you have not bothered to accept my offer."
"Mr. Kane, I am sorry but I can't really do that."
"May I know why?"
"I have just adopted a girl. She is my daughter, and I can't just take this job. It will take too much of my time, and I want to be there for Daisy. I don't want to adopt her so that some babysitter can take care of her."
Sean Kane smiled, "is that all?"
She stared at him for a while, not sure whether he understood or mocked. "Yeah", she finally replied.
"Well, then let's make a deal. I am after all a business man. Come work for me, and I promise that you will only work reasonably hours, and no weekends unless absolutely necessary. What do you say?"
"Mr. Kane, that is too generous..."
"Not at all! I insist that you at least think about it. You have my number, and give me a call when you will accept my offer."
He then smiled and ordered a muffin to his coffee. When he walked away, Lisa rushed up behind her to enquire. "Angie, that is fantastic! Why aren't you taking the job?"
Angie was not able to reply as her phone received a message. It was short and simple. Peter had sent it. "He is out."
Angie looked up at Lisa and then said, "There is something I need to do first. Can you cover for me?"
