Chapter 3, sorry it's been so long. You may need to revise the last 2 chapters to remember...
I do not own any of the characters apart from Alex in this story and I don't own the name Weasley.

Chapter 3

Uncle Eddie frowned deeply
"Katrina-"
"Uncle Eddie I can do this myself this time" I said, crossing my arms stubbornly, my father blinked at me
"What?" I asked
"You look like your mom" He said looking away from me, poring himself a glass of wine "Eddie, she old enough to do this my herself, let her go"
Uncle Eddie watched me carefully
"You really think you can do this"
"Without a doubt" I said. Uncle Eddie sighed, still not convinced
"Eddie, she's her mother's daughter. Of course she can do this" my father said, his back to us still
"Okay then" Eddie said nodding "keep Alex safe"

I didn't say anything to anyone else in the car that Hale had got Marcus to bring. Instead I watched out the window. It was snowing hard, but in a funny way it was beautiful. The snowflakes where so elegant, so graceful that they reminded me of a ballet dancer, a little girl held her mother's hand as they walked in the snow laughing holding umbrella's over their heads, on their way home. And it wasn't till then that I realised I didn't have a home. Not really. Uncle Eddie's kitchen was a place where I felt combatable, but not home. None of Hale's houses felt that way. And no 5 star hotel room was either.

A thief could never be home. And could never have a place to be their own,
Uncle Eddie's kitchen was somewhere I was comfortable, but it wasn't home. Nor were any one of Hale's beautiful houses home. And no amount of 5 star hotel rooms could ever be ether.
No where was home to me
No thief could ever have home and that made my heart sink. We couldn't steal that.

I rested my head on the window and watched the snow fall.

Warm hands caught mine, I turned and saw it was Hale
"You okay?" He asked softly, I shrugged
"Have you ever been at home somewhere Hale?" I asked, he looked confused for a second, but then he seemed to get it or he was just used to my slightly off the wall questions. After all, I'd been trying to guess his first name for 2 years now and had once come up with Willamina
"No. We gave that luxury up long ago Kat" He smiled and I nodded
"My fault" I mumbled, he shook his head
"No, I never really had a home before that. No one else was there for it to be a home" he said
"Would you ever want a home?" I asked, the side of Hale's mouth twitched
"Yeah, with a girl and kids" he said, I was shocked for a moment but then smiled
"Do I know the girl?" I asked playfully
"She's in the car" he grinned
"There's one more girl in the car than is normally around and she's very pretty. Clarification would be good, Weasley?" I guessed, Hale rolled his eyes
"She can't lie very well and she's the genius the robbed the Henley. By the way, you're not even close"
"Simon's a girl?" I teased, ignoring the name comment. Hale groaned
"Kat..." He sighed, I laughed
"You know" I dropped my voice so no one but him could hear "if it was a boy his name would be W.W Hale the sixth. And as his mother I'd have to know what the 'W' stands for" I whispered, Hale roared with laughter while I giggled
"I suppose your right" Hale agreed, smiling
"Hale" I said, my voice hushed again, he nodded "after this job, me and you we're gunna leave. Do small jobs still, but I've had enough of this massive heist thing" I said, watched his expression clear and then smile again.
"Anything" he said "as long as you don't disappear to boarding school" I shook my head
"You don't need to worry about that" I smiled.

The car slowed to a stop and Marcus opened my door
"The airport Miss Bishop" Marcus said, I thanked him climbing out, wrapping my scarf round my neck, pocketing my passport.
"Kat?" Alex asked, I turned to look at her
"Yeah?" I smiled
"Has this got something to do with my parent's death?" Alex raised an eyebrow at me, her face so intensely worried that it was hard to not want to hug her
"Yes, but don't worry. We know what we're doing" I promised her, she nodded
"I trust you" Alex said, I smiled and shook my head, putting on sunglasses (even though it was snowing)
"First lesson for being a spy. Don't trust anyone, not even family" I told her walking away into the air port Hale not far behind me, Gabrielle and Alex behind him while Angus Simon and Hamish helped Marcus with the bags.
"She has a lot learn" I said to Hale, he nodded
"You're a good teacher" I laughed
"We don't have time!" I said
"Kat, we have more people to teach her. She'll be fine" Hale said, putting an arm round my shoulder
"We can only hope"

I admit, not very long at all. Only 855 words, really sorry but I thought I should update this story! This was 4 pages in an a5 note book, but apparently not...
Please review! Xx
