Hello Neal,
I have touched my heart and decided to forgive and not take revenge on you. But you will refund what I have lost to you. There will be a number of painting auctioned off at Christie's. Steal them for me and our score will be settled. And then and only then will you have your precious little sister back.
Your dear friend,
Vincent Adler
"I can't allow this Neal. You know that." Agent Burk spoke depressed. "I thought you were my friend. That you cared about Sarah." Caffrey stood bewildered and afraid. Until Elizabeth lovingly soothed: "We do Neal and we will help as much as we can." "El!" agent Burk shouted in protest "They're our friends and we will help them. Can't you talk to your boss and say that you got a lead on this Adler guy and this is the only way to stop him?" "I can't keep bailing him out whenever he's in trouble!" "No you can't Peter but it's not just me this time. It's Sarah."
A few days later
"Jezus Christ, Neal. That was cutting it close." "I had to get them all or he won't release Sarah." Caffrey handed the paintings to the FBI personnel and looked at Agent Burk. "Are you sure it'll work?" "Relax Neal we've got everything covered." "That's what you said last time." "Yah but this time it's our plan and not yours or mine. She going to be fine, Neal. I Promise."
At the drop off
It was almost 1 AM and there was still no sign of Adler or Kate. "Something's wrong." Caffrey mumbled to himself. "Hello Mr. Caffrey." Startled, Caffrey turned to see Adler and Kate. "Where is Sarah?" "She is perfectly safe. You will have her location when I have the paintings." Suddenly there was an explosion of sounds. Voices screaming through the walkie-talkie, that Adler had under his cote, that the prisoner had escaped. Sirens going off and coming to worth them. "Well played Mr. Caffrey. But I will be taking the paintings no the less." Adler pulled out a gun and pointed it at him. Adler walked to worth Caffrey and the paintings. As he grabbed the painting from Caffrey, Adler never lost his aim on Caffrey. "Come along Kate dear." And with that they walked to a car hidden in the shadows and took off.
Agent Burk ran from his hiding place to worth Caffrey, flashing his badge. "It's OK officers he's with me. What the hell happened?!" as he reached Caffrey. "I don't know." Caffrey looked panicked at Agent Burk "Something about Sarah escaping."
After a few hours
"Go home Neal." "How can I if she's still out there!" "We have every available cop looking for her. Go home and get some sleep and I'll let you know when we find her." "Fine" A patrolle car pulled up and took Caffrey home. He walked to the door with a sense of angst and loneliness he never felt before. He would call Mozzie and ask him to let is sources look around town. He couldn't care less what it would cost him. Anything to find her, His Sarah. Deep in his thoughts he didn't hear June call to him. He walked up the stairs to his apartment. Kicking of his shoes and was trying to get his cote of when suddenly; "What's all the hullabaloo about ?" There she was, smiling like nothing had happened. Her hair was still whet from the shower she probably took here and she was wearing some of June's old clothes. He was silent for so long that she waved at him; "Hi, I thought I drop by and…." Before she could finish he picked her up in his arms, twirled and hugged her. Though it was clear for the trained of June and agent Burk that, who had just walked in, that wasn't what he wanted to do in the first place. Neal cupped Sarah's face with both hands as he said ; "Don't Ever do that to me again." "If got some good news." Agent Burk intervened. Everyone turned to him. "We've got Adler and Kate."
-Sorry guys that it took so long. Family problems, work and lack of inspiration. And I'm no good at describing a snag and tag scene so that's why I skipped it.
Hope you enjoyed it. Hope to have another one coming up very soon.
