Back in the house, Catherine put on the kettle for tea and Jordan spread the new bank documents on the kitchen table,

“Okay, once Alex left we froze all your assets…” she turned to her, “That’s standard… so Alex can’t access any of your money. We closed your joint checking and savings accounts and opened new accounts in your new name only…” Catherine joined her at the table and she handed the documents to her one at a time. “The origin of the funds in these new accounts are untraceable… an FBI accountant seized the funds, literally in cash, and took them to the federal credit union,” she wagged her eyebrows, “where I also do my banking…” She grinned at Catherine’s small smile, “So until you close them, your checking and saving accounts are there…” she handed her a gleaming plastic card, “And this is your new debit card…” She handed her the card and tapped the sticker on the front with the tip of her finger, “please activate it as soon as you can.”

The kettle began to whistle and Jordan rose to turn off the stove. She poured the boiling water into twin mugs, preparing the tea while Catherine used her cell phone to call and activate her new card. After entering the new card number and choosing a new pin code, she checked her balance, her brows arching high at the substantial balance.

“It’s all there.” Jordan assured her with a humorous wink. She returned to the table with the steaming mugs, “Now, we did not touch your investment accounts, cd’s, municipal bonds and the like, those accounts are frozen and sealed and Alex couldn’t touch that money if she tried, not without giving herself away, and I think we can say with confidence she won’t even try. That money will just sit there and do its accrual thing until we catch Alex and you and she come to whatever agreement about it all.” She sipped at her tea, watching Catherine’s eyes scanning the documents, “And I think your purse should be in that box upstairs.”

Catherine placed the new debit card on top of the stack of papers and drew a deep breath, looking into Jordan’s eyes. A long moment passed until she signed, “Thank you, Jordan, I appreciate all your work… and the work of everyone at the FBI… It means a lot to me.”

“Absolutely.” Jordan murmured quietly, lost in the intensity of the deep brown eyes. “Uh…” she blinked, “how about a movie this afternoon? And Tappet and Rhodie gave us some garlic bread they got from the deli down the road, how about that, pasta and a salad for dinner?”

“Only if you let me make the pasta.”

“Okay, but I swear I can be trusted to heat the marinara without burning it.”
