So I am horribly sorry about how long it's been since I updated…but I was all set and ready to write chapter 10 and I went back to review where we'd left off and I was like…Jack had an idea? What idea? I don't remember this! And I spent the next week trying to remember where I had been going with that. I still haven't figured that out. So I came up with something else! I hope you enjoy it!

Jack

"Whoever did this knows I gave her this pin. That narrows our list down pretty extensively. And the note. They're trying to make a point. They're trying to get to me."

"Jack, you don't know that." Johnson protested.

"If there's one thing Phryne Fisher has taught me it is that you should trust your gut. And my gut tells me this isn't about her. It's about me." My jaw clenched as I spoke. This was my fault. I was certain of it. I didn't know why, but I knew that if Phryne Fisher had never crossed my path she'd be sitting at home enjoying tea with her friends right now. "Someone I made feel hopeless. Someone I did something to. And now they want me to feel the same way. Walk in their shoes as it were. And Phryne's the key."

"And this person may or not have some connection to the docks and fishing." I nodded and Johnson continued. "Well if your gut is right, it stands to reason that their relationship to whomever you supposedly wronged them with would be the same as your relationship to Miss Fisher." Johnson's eyebrow raised curiously. "Which is what, exactly?" I took a deep breath, speaking the words that I had yet to fully admit to myself let alone say out loud.

"The love of my life." To his credit, Johnson said nothing, only nodded curtly.

"So this crazy idea of yours Robinson?" I looked up at him nervously.

"If I'm wrong about this I'm going to feel like a horrible person for the rest of my life. If I accuse this person and nothing happens I will be a horrible person."

"Who, Jack?"

"What if it's Rosie?"

Elizabeth Edwards (AKA Beth, one of Jack's sisters)

"Mum!" Even as an adult, with children of my own, seeing my mother after a prolonged absence always made me jump for joy. I ran forward and let her wrap me in her arms.

"Beth." Her voice was soft but firm, full of love and full of control. Was there anything better than being hugged, truly hugged by your mother?

"How's Johnny?" I asked with a grin.

"Why do you smile, Elizabeth Ann Robinson?" I rolled my eyes. I may be going on 7 years of marriage but if I so much as put a toe out of line I was 13 year old Elizabeth Ann Robinson, caught sneaking out of class to meet a boy. "I told you that your brother is distraught, that he is having a person and professional crisis. I told you that I had never seen him this upset, and I was including the week he returned from war."

"Yes. Over a woman. Johnny's in love mum. For real this time, not that ridiculous sham of a marriage to that absolute-"

"Beth." My husband stepped forward, cutting me off. "The children." I nodded. It wouldn't do to curse out their ex-aunt in front of them. No matter how much I had hated her. (But good lord was that woman boring, conceited and controlling. Jack deserved a hundred times better. And according to mum, he may have found that. He may have found something as rare as what I had with my husband Mark. Despite her disparagement for my grin earlier I found that a small smile was struggling to appear on my mother's face as well.

"It's not just the woman, Beth." I felt my eyes widen in excitement. "The woman has a child. Adopted. Her name is Jane and Johnny brought the girl home to meet all of us."

"He brought home a child?" I sputtered, unable to contain myself.

"It was the strangest thing. I've never seen him so protective. And the child had him twisted around her little finger, I tell you. I've always said Johnny would make an excellent father and as it turns out, I was right."

"Mom, is Uncle Johnny getting married?" I smiled down at my oldest son.

"I don't know Mathew. I guess we'll find out." However, the smile on my face was fleeting. It slipped away with my mother's next words.

"Only if he finds her."
