Author's note- Well I guess that's what I get for getting wrapped up in something else. Most of my reviewers have disappeared on me. I don't know when Ill update again, but I promise it will be before the end of the week.

As Kate and Garret walked back into the lab, Bug and Jordan came in looking completely dejected.

"We got nothing Garret. Every print and hair seems to match your father. I don't think they grabbed him there." Jordan said setting her scene kit on the table.

"Damn, I was hoping to get some kind of a lead. Well thanks anyway guys. You two go home and get some sleep. Nigel, Kate and I are going to stay on this for a while." Garret said.

"I'm not going anywhere, Garret. You've helped me enough times; I'm not walking away from this one until I see it through." Jordan insisted.

Bug stepped up. "Dr. Macy, I'd rather stay and help too."

"There are some things going on here that you don't need to know about, so go home." Garret told them, Bug shrugged and headed out after making Garret promise to call if he needed anything. Jordan stood there staring Garret down.

"I'm not leaving, Garret, so you may as well fill me in on the stuff I don't need to know."

Garret looked over to Kate who merely smiled and said. "If you doona tell her Garret she'll wheedled out of you soon or late."

"Jordan, let it go, please." Garret looked at her, willing her just this once to do what he asked.

"Garret, I am not leaving. There is obviously something going on that has you worried about the rest of us and I'm not walking away." Jordan stared at Garret.

"Tch, you two are as stubborn as Forbes' pig." Kate stepped in between them. "Jordan, what Garret doesn't want to tell you is that Harry didna act alone. I'm the one that stole the egg and now I must steal it again and return it to the man holding Harry."

Jordan looked the redhead up and down. Kate answered the unasked question in her eyes.

"Aye, a wee slip of a thing like me did it. I make my living as a thief and a very good one and now I mun plan a job and pull it off in four days or the bastard that has Harry will kill him." Kate waited for the brunette's reaction.

"Okay, so where do we start?" Jordan asked.

Kate turned to Garret. "You know, mo brathair, between your staff's knowledge of forensics and computers and my light fingered touch, we could be rich beyond the dreams of avarice."

"Don't even think it, Kate." Garret growled.

"Ach, I willna, mo brathair. I told you, I'm retiring, right after we get Harry out of this mess." Kate eyes sparkled at the amusing mental image of Garret as the head of a ring of thieves. Walking over to the computer desk, she leaned over Nigel's shoulder again. "Have you my schematics, my lad?"

"Just got them, I'll put them on the screen so you can get a good look. Oh and Kate, his security system is completely computerized." Nigel offered.

"Do tell, and might I be in the way of knowing a handsome English laddie just itching to hack into said computer and cootle me a little bit of a way in?" Kate smiled down at him.

"You might be lassie." Nigel aped her Scots brogue with a laugh.

"Ach, lad, I think we could have a beautiful friendship." She touched her fingers to his cheek and Nigel grinned and raised an eyebrow.

Garret cleared his throat. "If you two can hold the flirting until after we get Harry back, I think we need to get to work."

Kate dropped her fingers reluctantly and nodded. "Right, let's be at it then. Nigel, can you pull me up the plans to the floor the vault is on and those above and below it?"

Kate walked over to her purse and pulled out a pair of glasses, at Garret's raised eyebrow she smiled. "Well and age catches us all now, doesn't it, although these do come in handy for disguises from time to time. You'd be amazed at how little attention is paid to a dull, drab cleaning woman." She walked closer to the screen and began going over the plans.

LATER

When Garret woke up, he looked at the clock in his office, 4am. He'd left the lab at midnight and stretched out on the couch, falling asleep almost immediately. He got up and opened the door to see Jordan walking up with a cup of coffee.

"I was just coming to wake you. Kate, Nigel and I think we have a plan and she wanted to run it by you." Jordan held out the cup and Garret took a sip trying to clear his head as they walked back toward the lab. "Are you okay, Gar?"

"I feel like I've been hit by a train. Yesterday afternoon, I was a normal civil servant and now I'm helping plan a robbery with a half sister I never knew existed." Garret quirked a half-smile. "Did I step through the looking glass and no one told me?"

"Nope, this ain't Wonderland babe and you look nothing like Alice." Jordan grinned. "As for Kate, don't ask me why, but I think she all right."

"For a thief?" Garret grinned.

"Could be worse, she could be a Yankees fan." The two laughed as they walked through the doors to the lab.

"Ah, the dreamer awakes. And what has you two so happy?" Kate smiled.

"Just talking baseball." Garret grinned.

"Well if you can chat, RBIs and ERAs later, I think we have a plan, mo brathair. Show them, Nigel." The three of them turned to Nigel who laid out the specifics of getting Kate into the vault and Kate and the egg out again.

After they had taken turns trying to poke holes in the plan, Kate walked up to the screen turned and grinned. "That, lads and lass is how you plan a robbery. I couldna done it without you and now I mun go and gather what I need to turn myself into a cleaning woman. Nigel, how long will it take you to break into the wee bastard's security programs?"

"I can be ready in about an hour." Nigel grinned.

"Good. I'll make my move tonight when the cleaning crew goes in; I'll need to go a pick up a few items from Kevin and get a bit of sleep. I'll need a car ready to pick me up as soon as I have the egg." Kate looked expectantly at Garret.

"Now I'm driving a getaway car. This just gets stranger by the minute." Garret grinned.

"Ach, doona worry, laddie. There'll be no car chase, just a nice quiet in and out and no one the wiser." Kate's eyes sparkled as she contemplated her last job.

"What are you getting from Kevin?" Nigel asked.

"A wee toy to get me through the key card reader at the vault door." Kate answered.

"A scrambler or a decoder?" Nigel asked.

"A decoder, the scrambler might just set off the alarms and then where would I be?"

"Talking to the cops." Jordan answered.

"Rightie-o and that's a meeting I'd rather avoid." Kate laughed as she picked up her bag and looked at Nigel. "Do you think I might talk you into a ride to my hotel?"

"I'd love to, but I should warn you I ride a motorcycle." Nigel answered.

"Oo, a man on a motorbike. I think may fall in love with you laddie." Kate teased as they headed for the door.
