Chapter Forty Two - Parental Advice
-3rd Person-
Woodford had returned and was waiting for Neal at his old apartment. Neal only stopped by to collect a few more things now that is unofficial address was with Kara. So for Neal while he was supposed that Woodford was there, anything linking back to his family was not. It was back to being a bachelor guest pad. Woodford was onto a mole within the Panthers and only trusted Neal because he found it before Neal was involved. He wanted Neal to find the mole but he refused which only impressed Woodford more.
-Kara-
Neal was telling the others about his late night visitor last night. Woodford was onto the trail of a mole.
"So I've dodged the mole hunt for now." Neal poured himself a cup of coffee while I was on my third one for the day.
"That's why the Panthers were laying low. It had nothing to do with San Francisco." Peter thought and I went to pour some more "Kara are you okay, you're on your four cup
"Oh it is teething time at the house of the Caffrey's. And Thea just wants Mommy. Sadly that means the little routine is now being tested and coffee is my best friend." the ahed
"But if Woodford doesn't get his moles the operation is finished." Jones thought out loud
"Mole, singular. Not a labor . Half and half?" Neal offered Peter
"I thought you switched to soy?"
"He switched back, he doesn't like the taste unlike me." I shrugged pouring it into my coffee then adding some to my cereal
"A labor?"
"More than one mole. Thea now likes gardening shows. Barrel of laughs." I inform Jones
"Woodford has two but is looking for one. I like my odds." Neal smiles as I sit down
"We give him Keller." Peter thinks
"Oh, hang a snitch suit on him." Jones adds
"Keller will just talk to save his own neck. Unless you got another idea." I continue.
"Not if Luc pulls him first." Neal theorises
"If I get Keller pulled, you promote it that Keller ran because Woodford was closing in." Peter finished
"But who do you say Keller was working for?" Jones asked
"I'll keep it a mystery. But Woodford knows the threat was removed. But until then I impress him with my knowledge of the algorithm."
"Tell him what we told you. Maybe he'll fill in the blanks ." Neal nodded
"That San Francisco flight tell you anything new?" Neal fished. I could read him like a book by now.
"No, Woodford know anything?" Peter relied
"No. I'm meeting him now. Better take this to go. See you." he kissed my cheek then left for his meeting. I look down and notice I'm leaking
"I need to change. No stealing my cereal." I walk over to m desk grabbing a spare to and going to change

My phone started to ring and I looked down it was Peter.
"Hey, boss, what's up?" I answer looking over my computer
"Kara do you know where Neal is? Could he have gone back home?" Peter asked
"No I don't know where he is. but I could check with our Nanny, why?" I wonder confused
"Because Luc saw him meeting with someone that is not the panthers and we can't find him. He isn't with Mozzie." he replied
"I will check with the Nanny first then try his cell. I'll call you back." I hung up and called home. Neal hadn't gone there so i tried his cell. No answer. I called back Peter
"He hasn't gone home and I can't get a...."
"Oh he's here." Peter told me
"Okay. Well tell him he can apply the teething gel for a whole week for getting me worked up." I hung up
-------
So I learnt what happens when three men get together to plan a heist
"pneumatic tubes. Remember the old bank drive through? Put your check in the canister get's sucked in the tube over to the bank" Peter explained
"Yeah and then they send a lollipop back." Jones joked
"The New York postal service put the first one in operation in 1897 by the 1920s there was vast network linking postal offices around the city." I add
"Yeah miles of them still exist under ground" Jones continued
"They've been waiting for us right under JFK." Neal replied
"When it was Idlewild all airmail landed there hauled to warehouse 17, where it was loaded into canisters." I informed my husband
"When seconds later, through the tubes, it landed in a sorting centre right outside the airport." Peter pointed to it on the map.
"Please tell me it still exists
"According to internet maps, it does." Jones answered
"It's the perfect way to get the money out of the airport without being seen. Peter, you've missed your true calling." Neal commented
"I've still got time."
"Now the buildings in an industrial area. So it will be easy for the tac team to isolate." Jones states
"We can set up a four block safety perimeter." I continue
"When Woodford and his gang collect the money, we move in." Peter smiled
"Perfect."
"Except for one thing. If the tubes do exist they still need the air compressors to power them." I saw where Jones was coming from
"Yeah, what are the odds they still work after 60 years?" I sighed
"Only one way to find out."

I walked into the kitchen and saw Peter eating the crips we had out. I scowled
"I've never seen you eat junk food at work before" I comment taking a juice out of the fridge.
"Antsy" he answered
"Ah, pre sonogram jitters." I concluded
"Is it normal?" he wondered
"Neal wanted to put mine off for weeks. But it had to be asap. He was drinking his best like it was juice. You think your worried now wait till you hear the heartbeat" I told him he gasps
"It get's worse?"
"It get's real. Being a parent, worry is a constant companion for life. Every night when Neal comes home even if its the dead of night and I'm asleep. I know he goes into Thea's and stands over a cot breathing a sigh of relief." I continue
"Ugh"
"But it's a wonderful worry because you love someone that much." I tried to ease
