DISCLAIMER: Seriously? Why on Earth would Stephenie Meyer be on Fanfiction? Exactly, I am not her nor do I own anything but the plot.

The next morning came quickly and Seth met them at the soup kitchen. The three of them sat over papers for hours and hours, soon the day turned into night, and the were able to have accomplished there goal: the check was in the mailbox. Seth had set up a certain procedure so that could see where the money was deposited and where it was being transferred. Seth, Jacob and Kate were feeling extremely optimistic; maybe this wouldn't be so bad after all. Hopefully, in a few days this whole mess would be solved, but for now, everything was to go on business as usual.

Jacob had thought he had done a good job hiding his worry from the people who came in, but apparently he didn't seeing as how many of the regulars kept asking if everything was ok. One in particular, Alice, kept checking in at random times pretending she had forgotten something during the previous meal. The tenderhearted women was obviously checking in to make sure that he was all right. She decided that she would ask one last time and then give up. At this point, Jacob was so touched by her actions that he decided to tell her the basics so that she wouldn't have to worry.

"Well Alice, its nothing to worry about, just some problems that will hopefully be worked out in a few days."

"You don't sound very sure of that, dear. Tell me what's really going on here." With Alice's reply, Jacob could tell that she was not going to take some sort of short answer. So he brought her somewhere private told her everything; how the money went missing, how bills were never paid, and how they were at risk of having to close. At first, Jacob wondered if he was making the right decision of telling someone, but if there were anyone he trusted, it was this loving, grandmotherly figure. By the time he finished telling her the story, she had a sympathetic look on her face.

"Oh my! No wonder you looked so sullen the past few days. I'm sure that this has been very hard on you. Is there anything I can do to help?" Alice replied.

"Thank you very much, but don't worry Alice, I promise, everything will be fine." Jacob told her with a smile. She smiled back, but did not look convinced. She said goodbye, told him that she would see him tomorrow, reminded him that she was there if he needed anything and went on her way. It made him feel like a burden had been lifted off of him.

Only a few more days, he thought to himself. And within a few days he got a phone call that changed everything.

"Jacob! You'll never guess what happened!" Seth said breathlessly over the phone. "We caught them! We caught the person who was embezzling the money! They've already been arrested."

"Really? That is so great! Who was it?" Jacob was curious, he wanted to know if it was someone they knew.

"A man by the name of James Crowley. Have you ever heard of him before?"

Jacob took a minute to think about it. The name didn't ring a bell at all. "Nope, I've never heard of him. Did he say to the police if he knew me or not?"

"He hasn't said anything yet, he wont say anything at all. We have all the evidence, now we just need him to plead guilty so that this won't take as long. But I'm afraid there is some bad news."

Jacob braced himself for the worst. "How bad is bad?"

"Just a little bad. You see, James had already spent the money he stole. The cops are looking into it now to see if James has some sort of collateral to compensate for the money or if he has any secret bank accounts where the money might be. It also turns out not only was he stealing from you, but from at least 4 others. But there is some good news too, the companies, in light of the situation, is allowing up to a year for you to pay back the debt with no interest. "

"I'm going to have to pay back four months worth of bills? Is this James guy going to get off scot-free?" I felt myself getting angered. Who was this guy anyway!

"No, he is getting major jail time and will have to pay you back somehow, eventually. The courts are going to settle a way where you get all your money back, and everyone else's too. The problem is, it was so much money that he stole means that it will take that much longer for him to pay off, especially if he is in jail."

"But he will pay it back?" Jacob inquired.

"Every penny." Seth answered. Jacob felt a little better.

"Alright, thank you so much Seth!"

"Of course Jacob, I'm so glad everything worked out." They hung up and Jacob immediately went to find Kate and tell her.

"Kate! Kate guess what!" Jacob hollered across the room to where Kate was standing. He was in luck! Alice was standing right next to her. "Alice you too!" They both looked over concerned, then, after seeing the smile on his face, realized that everything must be solved.

"They've caught him! Seth caught him!" The three of them could not have been any happier. It was like they were a few children on Christmas morning.

"See Jacob, everything worked out." Alice smiled brightly as she said it. "You were right, and I have to be honest, for a moment I was worried that you weren't. But look, you were honest and did everything you could to make sure that all of yours and Kate's hard work paid off. You made sure that the things that are most important to you were not harmed. And now, because of you, not only will you receive what was taken from you, but so will all the people had money stolen from them and didn't know what to do about it. Because of you, people who have been ripped off will be repaid for their hard work. You, Jacob Black, are a hero."

=) That is the end! I'm actually thinking of making a sequel were he meets Nessie. I'm not quite sure, but I think that I will!
