Chapter Eleven: Mouse's Results.

"Hey, so I heard from Mouse and he thinks he might have got something," Jay said approaching Caitlyn in the break room, he leant against the counter as she poured herself some coffee. He was surprised how quickly Mouse had gotten back to him with something, he had thought it would be at least a week before they had anything that could help Caitlyn but his friend had managed it in four days.

"That was quick," Caitlyn replied not expecting to hear back so soon, she reached for the necklace that she had received and played with it as she thought about Richard. A part of her was happy that he had received out for her in some way, however that didn't ease her mind at all; she knew he wouldn't be happy to hear that she was seeking her biological father.

"Molly's tonight," Jay told her just as Erin walked in, she paused at Jay's words and eyed him for a second before she turned her attention to Caitlyn. A frown forming on her face as she looked at the other woman, she had hoped that Caitlyn might have listened to her and stayed away from Jay but nothing seemed to have deterred her.

"Sounds like a plan," Caitlyn said before heading out of the breakroom, she ignored the look on Erin's face knowing that the other woman could think whatever she liked. There really wasn't anything going on between her and Jay, even if she did like him; she wasn't trying to step on anyone's toes here.

"What was that about?" Erin asked simply, she moved forward to watch Jay as he poured himself a drink; her eyes watching his face as a small smile formed there. She rolled her eyes wondering if he was just using Caitlyn to make her jealous, she almost felt sorry for Caitlyn if that was the case; she would have liked the other woman if things had been different for them.

"Just two friends making plans for after work," Jay replied, he didn't want to reveal Caitlyn's secret when she had trusted him with it; he very much doubted that Erin would be helpful in anyway. Especially given the fact that Caitlyn had mentioned that Erin had tried to warn her off as if he was her boyfriend and not her co-worker; she had been the one to make it clear that they were no more than friends.

"Really?" Erin asked not convinced, it sounded more like he was making plans for a date and she wasn't sure what to make of that; she guessed she'd just have to go to Molly's tonight to make sure. Jay rolled his eyes and picked up his cup of coffee, he didn't know what Erin wanted from him but he wasn't going to let her stop him.

"Yes, really… what did you think was happening?" Jay asked raising an eyebrow at her, he wanted to get back to his paperwork so that he could finish it and get it out of the way. Erin didn't reply, she knew what he expected her to say and she wasn't going to buy into it; she wasn't going to give him the satisfaction of thinking that she was jealous over nothing.

"Nothing. Have fun at Molly's tonight," Erin said moving to get herself a drink, she didn't look at him as he stared at her before he shook his head and walked away. A smile formed on her face and she had to admit that she wasn't sure what to think of him taking an interest in Caitlyn; a woman who couldn't have been more than her complete opposite.

Erin sipped on her coffee as she thought about what she had heard, she guessed that she would have to go to Molly's tonight to see just how friendly Jay was with Caitlyn. They had a few hours before work ended and she would be keeping a close eye on their newest co-worker; she didn't trust Caitlyn and she would do anything to protect Jay from her.


"You didn't find anything?" Caitlyn repeated not sure what to make of this, she felt even more lost now that Mouse had told her that and this wasn't what she had been expecting when she had spoken to Jay that morning. Even he looked a little confused about Mouse's answer, Jay had been so sure that he would turn something up; this was the complete opposite of what he had said when they'd spoken on the phone.

"I'm sorry," Mouse murmured not looking at them, his eyes swept around the room to make sure that no one was watching them while they talked. The bar was a lot more packed than it had been the last time that they had been here and Mouse was certain that people would be rather interested in what they were doing.

"I thought you said that you had found something," Jay asked not sure what was going on, it wasn't like Mouse to make a mistake and he hoped that things weren't going to get any better. He had promised to help Caitlyn, he wasn't going to let her down; there had to be something out there about her biological father that they could find. Mouse shrugged his shoulders, he didn't look at his friend and hoped that he would be able to leave now; he had things to do and places to be.

"I'm sorry, it was a dead end," Mouse stated shrugging his shoulders, he could almost feel Jay's gaze burning him and he knew his friend would be suspicious about what was going on right now. Making his excuses Mouse made his escape not looking back as he did so, he hurried outside ignoring the people around him; just as Jay turned to Caitlyn to apologise.

"I am so sorry. I really thought that he would be able to find something," Jay said shaking his head, he watched Mouse disappear out of the bar not sure what had made him so anxious. He guessed being in an overcrowded place just wasn't his thing and he hadn't been comfortable here; the bar was busy for once and people were struggling to get a table.

"It's fine. Maybe it's for the best," Caitlyn whispered, she offered Jay a weak smile not sure how to feel about hitting another wall in finding out who her father was; she almost wished that things were a little easier. It felt like the entire universe was working against her and nothing seemed to be going right for her; she just wanted to know who her biological father was.

Outside, Mouse hurried towards the car that had dropped him off; he kept his head down relieved that Jay was a little too distracted with Caitlyn to follow after him. Climbing into the car, Mouse sat back and stared at the bar for a second before he turned to look at the person next to him; he frowned not happy with what he had just done.

"I did as you asked," Mouse said staring at Alvin, he reached into his jacket and pulled out the USB that contained all the information that he had found before he handed it to Alvin. He was silent as Alvin took it from him and stuck it in his pocket, the older man was silent as he continued to watch the bar knowing that if they were discovered that it would only lead to trouble.

"She has a right to know, you know. If he gets to her then nothing good will come from it," Mouse said knowing that while Alvin was trying to protect Caitlyn that it would only end in her getting hurt. Things were happening out of Alvin's control and it was only a matter of time before Caitlyn was faced with the truth of who she was.

"Is that all of it?" Alvin asked wanting to make sure that he had everything that Mouse had found on Edward; he couldn't allow her to find out who her father was. Mouse nodded and Alvin found himself relieved, that was one less thing for him to worry about right now.
