James & Caffrey

Chapter Twenty Seven - The problem with Caffrey

-3rd Person-

Neal rubbed his eyes as he stood waiting for coffee. He was tired, but that's what having a newborn would do to you. He was given permission that for the first month, his home base was Kara's apartment. They were still living separately but for this month it was together all the free time. Which mean helping out with night feeds. Neal actually didn't mind waking up and grabbing Thea to take back to Kara.

"Neal." he turned around to see Peter "I called out like five times."

"Didn't hear you." he grabbed his coffee and started walking.

"How's Thea?" Peter wondered as the two started walking to work.

"Well, Kara loves to say that for being part me, she's very well behaved for a baby. Which is true, you wouldn't think she was just over a week old." Peter laughed "

"That's good to hear. And the night time. I'm guessing your sleeping through."

"That would be a poor assumption. I'm Thea's taxi driver, taking her to and from food. And on the weekend I didn't even need the anklet because she wanted to sleep on me and not move. Hence the vast amount of coffee consumption." Neal drank some of his coffee.

"So how's working with Siegal?" Peter wondered

"Well I'm buy my morning coffee's outside of banks and museums so...." Neal joked and they continued on

Hagan had Neal lift a chapter from a codex, but due to everything going on, Neal was understandably a little distracted. Don't get him wrong, he still like the thought an maybe the occasionally reality of a heist but not when it involved everything to loose. Which could have happened given the fact, Neal made a mistake by leaving his finger prints behind. That and it wasn't fair to Rebecca the nice artisan working at the gallery who's ID was used to gain entry. But neither the less he made the drop off. Things weren't about to get easier though when Seigal turned up dead.

Kara had temporally move into Neal's apartment, he was under house arrest and confined to his actual address. So now Kara and Thea were staying there. Neal had Thea while he looked over the codex and Mozzie came out.

"Seriously?" he questioned

"Your water pressure is better than the guest bathroom. do you mind if I air out..."

"No, and keep your voice down. Kara's still sleeping and Thea just went back off." he scowled at his best friend

"Look who's all domesticated." Mozzie commented "What about chapter 13?"

"Moz, seriously, not a word while Kara's here. No one can find out about this. Now when i have more to loose. Okay?"

"I shall remain voiceless on the subject with sensitive ears."

"Good now put some clothes on before Kara wakes up." mozzie left and a hour later Kara woke up.

"morning. Did I hear Mozzie earlier? Is he still laying low?" she wondered kissing his head and then Thea's

"Yeah. That was who he was and now everything's gone. He a little lost on how to build back up again so to speak. I made you an omelette ." he pointed to the plate next to him

"I saw thank you." she sat down "You know, I know being under lockdown isn't easy but there is a silver lining to it, you're holding her." Kara smiled as she dug in

"You're right she's an easy baby. Who would have thought."  Neal's phone started ringing

"Oh, times changing, here." She took Thea off of him and he answered the call.
