DISCLAIMER: Seriously? Why on Earth would Stephenie Meyer be on Fanfiction? Exactly, I am not her nor do I own anything but the plot.
"I'll call Seth and see what he thinks," Jacob told her. Kate just nodded and paid minimal attention as Jacob left, too wrapped up in her thoughts to even notice as he walked away.
Jacob dialed the phone and waited for Seth to pick up.
"Seth Clearwater, how may I help you?"
"Hello Seth, it's Jacob, Jacob Black –" before Jacob could get another word, Seth was greeting him like they had been best friends for their whole lives.
"Jacob! How are you?" Seth replied. Hmm, maybe this guy isn't as bad as I thought he was, Jacob thought to himself.
"Doing alright, all things considered. Kate had an idea after you left, she wanted to know if it was possible to trace a check if we wrote a new one to see if you could find where it goes." Seth was quiet for a moment. Just as Jacob was going to ask if he was still there when he started talking.
"Well, that just might work. It seems as if they have been doing this for a while, and if it was the same person – or group of people – then they have probably gotten sloppy. And if they have gotten sloppy that means they will leave a trail that we should be able to trace it. Tell Kate that was a brilliant idea! Although, if they haven't gotten sloppy yet, then we may not be able to get a hold of it and then that would mean you would be missing even more money."
"Do you think that it is even worth it to try?" Jacob asked. Should we do it? Would we do it? Would we actually be able to pull it off? He thought to himself. He prayed with everything he had in him that the answer would be a yes. This whole rollar-coaster-sea-sick-nauseous feeling in the pit of his stomach was getting very old.
"I think that if we do it right, we could all of the money back and set up prevention blocks so that it could never happen again." Seth's response brought some hope back to his. This will work out, this will work out, this will work out, he kept repeating to himself.
"Thanks Seth. Should we start tomorrow?"
"Of course, and yes, I think tomorrow would be the perfect time to start." Seth answered.
"Alright, thanks again Seth, I'll see you tomorrow." With that, Jacob hung up feeling much better than before. Things were starting to look up. Kate must have seen the visible change on his face because hers brightened too.
"So did he like my idea? Did he?" Kate asked eagerly.
"Yes, he absolutely loved it! He will be here tomorrow to discuss it, work it out, and put it into action. I really have a good feeling about this Katie!"
"Katie? You haven't called me that since we were kids, all this stress must have caused you to lose your mind!"
"I can't help it, I just felt like everything was over, and now, even though I'm probably just getting too excited and it won't work out, but I just cant stand to think of this place closing. It helps so many people everyday, not to mention I've worked my whole life for it, this was my plan for life. Now it seems as if everything is being pulled away. I don't know what I would do if I lost this place seeing as how I never really had a back-up plan." Now it was Jacob's turn to ramble on. His mind was going so fast that he wasn't even sure if his sentences were making sense. He was just so happy that there was a light at the end of the tunnel. Even if it didn't work, he would have given it his best try.
