James & Caffrey

Chapter Thirty Five - The Name's Caffrey, Kara Caffrey

I walked back into the office where Neal was waiting for me. He stood up from his desk.

"Everything okay?" he asked

"I am gonna throttle Mozzie." His face dropped "He conned  his way into the apartment then had a go at Karan for letting him in even when he had the credentials and the uniform of a gas man. The proceeded to lecture me." he sighed rubbing his face

"Karen quit by the way. 50 candidates and Thea liked her. She quits because of him. He is making me regret not turning him in." I ranted

"I will talk to him." he promised and I scowled "I handed the drive to jones and he's on it. Peter's annoyed though.

"Thank you." I sigh then take it and head up to Peters office

"Neal, broke into Dybek's cracked his safe and stole this with no proof that the man is but the target of a heist and you sanctioned this?"

"Correct." I answered

"I told you to wait until we have a warrant." he retorted

"Did you get one?" i questioned

"Not yet, but that doesn't mean...."

"By tomorrow morning? Look if the algorithm on that drive. I couldn't risk Dybek using it. You put me in charge and I made a call. You've let Neal tip toe across the line for years and i do it once and it's the end of the world?" I raise an eyebrow

"Do as I say"

"Actions make us who we are. I stand by mine." I shrug. Then there was a knock at the door

"Guys. I confirmed what's on the drive" Jones told us  and we followed him to his desk. It was an algorithm

"Now we know what an algorithm looks like." Neal commented as we watched the screen

"Right, just a complicated series of commands to buy and sell. But when i applied it to a simulation of the major stock market indexes. The market goes into a nose dive." Jones explained

"Wow." I watched it fall like a killer rollercoaster.

"Irreversible with catastrophic  consequences." Peter added

"In eight hours, our economy would have been in chaos and brought on the next hooverville of our time." I tilt my head

"And Worth would have been richer than scrooge McDuck." Neal muttered

"Wall streets a game. He's got all the pieces in place. The algorithm the capital and the jobs report." Peter pointed out.

"And he won't stop till he's pulled it off." I breath

"Then I say we let him win. If it's a game we can all play" Neal suggested and I smirked

"He just won't know it. Team Caffrey." I held out my fist and he gave it a little bump

"Jones, contact the tech team. We've got until the market opens."  Peter states

---------

I'm getting ready for the trade with Jones and we do our mic checks it was all good.

"So that's identical to the one in Dybek's safe?" I inquire

"On the outside. On the inside its I high bandwidth wi-fi recover. Once Worth plugs it in we'll control his computer. He'll apply the algorithm and if works

" he'll be fooled into thinking the market's tanking" I finish

"Bingo." Peter Joined us

"And when he uses his firms client's money to make his trades. We got him on wire fraud, conspiracy, money laundering..."
