We're halfway through the story with Noble laying in wait for J & E. A few more chapters to set things up before Noble's final plans for revenge kick into high gear.

Chapter 13

"Here's the first one for you my dear, my world famous Belgian waffles," Henry said proudly as he placed the golden cake in front of Eddie. Frank and Jamie both lowered the sections of the paper they'd been reading, their eyes widening upon seeing the first plate going to Eddie and both wondered how long it would be before they got theirs.

"You're spoiling me, Henry," Eddie gushed as she poured a generous amount of maple syrup into each nook of the waffle. "You may never get rid of us now," she added while cutting into her breakfast with eager anticipation.

"We're glad to have you here as long as you like, you know that," Henry assured them both from where he stood watch over the next waffle.

Eddie closed her eyes as she took the first bite...she was in breakfast heaven. "Mmmmm, that's really good!"

"The secret's the egg whites, you have to beat them until light and fluffy and then carefully fold them into the batter," Henry revealed.

Jamie raised a brow at his grandfather as he shared one of his many culinary secrets. He couldn't picture himself or Eddie beating egg whites for waffles, they usually ate the frozen ones at home. They were always better when someone else made them anyway. "Sounds like a lot of work, pops. We'll just come over here whenever we get a hankering for them," he smirked while stealing a piece from Eddie's plate.

"Hey, get your own!" Eddie complained, scowling at her husband as he smiled around the bite of waffle he'd stolen.

Frank smiled quietly behind his coffee mug. He didn't like the reason Jamie and Eddie were exiled from their home, but, regardless, he was glad to have them here. And it was good to see them acting more like themselves after Sunday's events.

"We're married now. What's yours is mine," Jamie declared.

"Not when it comes to Henry's waffles," Eddie warned.

"Or ice cream or chocolate or " Jamie teased, laughing as he caught the napkin Eddie threw at his head.

"Alright, enough. Here, that should keep you quiet," Eddie conceded, reaching over to feed him another bite, fully intending to steal some of his as payback.

"Hey, sounds like there's a party going on in here," Danny said as he came through the kitchen door with a file in his hands.

He received a chorus of 'hellos' that he paid no attention to when he realized what his grandfather was doing. "Ooh, are you making waffles, gramps?" His eyes widened much like Frank and Jamie's had. He took a seat at the table with the others and only spotted one half eaten cake in front of his sister-in-law, hoping it wouldn't be too long before he'd get one too.

Jamie's eyes narrowed on the file Danny placed on the table. "You have any news yet?" he asked nervously, fully aware that his brother wouldn't come over at this early hour without a specific reason.

Frank also gave Danny the same look, but was better at reading his tells and knew that the news would not be good. Eddie brought her mug down onto the table, weary of what was in the file Danny brought with him.

"Yeah, I got the reports from TARU and the crime lab," Danny confirmed as he glanced at the newlyweds.

"Did TARU confirm what Noble claimed?" Frank prompted.

"Yeah, unfortunately they did," he said with a grimace as he saw the way both Eddie and Jamie's faces fell.

"I think I just lost my appetite," Eddie mumbled as she pushed away her plate.

Henry brought over another few plates and placed them on the table where they went untouched and remained at his son's side to listen in on what Danny had to say.

Jamie's hands clenched into tight balls while trading stunned expressions with Eddie. It felt like they were getting the news all over again. "Where'd he plant it?" Jamie asked, wondering if he should have been able to spot it.

"They found an AC adapter with a tiny hidden camera plugged into the wall next to your entertainment unit." Danny opened his file and took out several photos, one of the electrical plug with the AC adapter next to their television and the others, close-ups of the exposed camera from the device.

Jamie picked up the first photo, shocked at the fact that the damn thing had been staring them right in the face all that time and stunned at how ridiculously well it blended in with everything else in their apartment. "Are you serious?"

"Yeah, I am. Sorry, guys."

Eddie was staring off into the distance as Jamie passed the photo on to his father. That small sliver of hope she had been clinging onto that all of this had been a cruel joke was now extinguished and she was left feeling completely violated again.

Danny continued with what they knew so far. "This thing can be purchased over the internet or in those spy shops you see in some places by any Tom, Dick or Harry. It's intended for home security and the nanny-cam type of monitoring people do these days and it's the reason it's made to blend in so well into a home setting. It plugs into the wall so there's no worry about battery life and it was connected to your WiFi and transmitting back to Noble."

"Do we know where yet?" Frank asked.

"TARU's figuring that out now. That device works with an app you log into from any computer or smartphone. This particular gizmo would have been registered to an account created to access the feed. Erin got me a warrant and it was sent over to the company yesterday to get that information. TARU's working on tracking the IP address used to log into the app to see if they can figure out where Noble's holed up."

"This is crazy," Jamie muttered under his breath.

"Did they find anything else?" Eddie asked. This news was bad enough, might as well hear it all now.

"TARU went through the whole place, no other devices found except for that one adapter. CSU did find something with the antihistamine bottle you pointed out though," Danny

"What?" Jamie asked.

"Both Noble and your prints were on it. He'd watered it down and that was the reason it didn't help you that night. His prints were all over your things in the medicine cabinet but they're still waiting for more results to come back from the other items they've tested."

"Jesus," Jamie sighed.

"I know, kid. I'm sorry," Danny said as his phone buzzed in his jacket pocket.

"So that's it? We just sit here and wait for him to reach out again?" Jamie asked.

Danny shook his head as he read the incoming message on his phone. "Maybe not. Baez just texted me, TARU just got a hit for the IP address Noble was logging in from," he explained as he got up from his seat and gathered up his file.

"Where?" Frank asked.

"Some dump of a hotel in the Lower East Side. She's getting a team ready to go there now. I gotta meet her."

"I want to come with you," Jamie said as stood from the table.

"Jamie," Eddie called out, concerned about him being anywhere near Noble Sanfino.

"Not a good idea, kid."

"He's right. Let your brother handle it," Frank ordered.

Out numbered three to one, Jamie clenched his jaw and sat back down.

"I'll call as soon as we're done," Danny promised. He patted his brother on the back and snatched a waffle from the table, stuffing one end into his mouth as he left quickly to meet his partner.
