So, This is Life Now?

Chapter 5 ~ Working a Case

When they got to the agency, Matt got the car seat with Ivy in it, and the diaper bag and took them inside. Angie grabbed her's and Matt's work bags and brought those inside. By the time they got to the agency, Zoe was already there.

"Hey Zoe," Matt said.

"Hey boss!"

"Were you able to find anything?"

"About the case? Yes. About the baby? No, Maz wasn't able to find anything."

"Okay, thanks for asking."

"No problem."

"So, what did you find out about the case," Angie asked while getting Ivy out of the car seat.

"Oh, okay, so I found something interesting. Our client has a twin brother that he never told us about."

"So, you think the brother may have something to do with the robberies," Matt asked.

"Maybe instead of our client, it's actually his brother who's been doing the robbing, but maybe he wants his brother to take the blame," Angie said.

"Maybe," Zoe answered.

"Where can we find this mystery twin," Matt asked.

"His social media page says that he works at a restaurant downtown," Zoe said looking at her computer screen.

"Okay, one of us needs to go talk to him. The other one of us needs to stay here with Ivy," Angie said.

"I can go talk to him," Matt said.

"Are you sure," Angie asked.

"Yeah. Besides, I don't think Ivy is going to be too happy about moving right now." Matt motioned to a sleeping Ivy in Angie's arms.

"Alright, but be careful. We don't know what this guy is capable of. I'll stay here and look closer into the twin's background and maybe find why he would want our client to take the blame for these." With that, Matt left and Zoe started looking closer into their client's brother. Angie started making a bottle for Ivy to drink while she worked. After getting the bottle ready, Angie took Ivy and sat down at the table. She had Ivy in one arm and her bottle in the other hand. She placed the bottle on the table, then opened her laptop and typed in what she was looking for before starting to feed Ivy. Once Ivy was done with the bottle, Angie burped her and put her in the car seat so she could sleep and Angie could work on the case some more.

"Did you find anything yet, Zoe?"

"Well, I did just find something. It looks like our client and his brother had a fight a while back."

"Does it say what the fight was about?"

"I'm assuming something about money. On his social media page, his brother said, 'You pay me, or things will go terribly wrong for you'."

"Maybe the 'terribly wrong' he was talking about is what he's doing right now."

"He never got paid back, so now he feels like he has to take money from other people."

"And he wants our client to take the fall for it." Just then, Angie got a message from Maz. "Maz just sent over the security footage from the nights of the robberies." Angie took her phone over to Zoe. "That's him. That's our mystery twin." Angie called Matt.

"Hey, what's up?" Matt's voice came through on speaker phone.

"The twin that you're meeting up with is our guy. He's the real robber. I'm gonna call Maz and get him to where you two are meeting. Can you stall him?"

"Yeah, I should be able to."

"Okay, be careful." With that, Angie hung up the phone and called Maz to meet Matt and their client's brother. When the police got there, they arrested the brother and Matt went back to the agency. Angie called their client and told him that the charges against him were getting dropped and that his brother was setting him up.
