"Don't worry about it," Amelio said, putting his own hand over Gabriel's. "It was difficult for the whole city. Everyone was working together to get rid of her by the end of it."

Gabriel smiled faintly. "Let's talk about something more cheerful, shall we?"

"Yes," Amelio agreed, standing. "I'm going to check on dessert, be right back."

"Oooh," Cate said, brightening. "What's for dessert?"

"It's a dulce de leche pie that my sister always makes," Amelio responded, grinning. "I finally got her to give me the recipe."

Cate grinned. "Ooh," she said. "What are the odds she'd be willing to pass it on?"

"Virtually none," Amelio said cheerily. "Family secret!"
"Hey, Amelio," Noah cut in, glancing at his phone like he'd just seen an interesting headline. "Did you hear about the museum heist a few days ago? Did you have to work on that?"

Cate jumped ever so slightly. "I heard about that. No one got hurt, did they?"

"No," Amelio called from the kitchen. "All I can say right now is that it looks like the MO of one of our regulars. Still haven't caught them, and a lot of the precinct is overlooking the thefts to focus on searching for Moss, Sheridan, and Crane."

"Makes sense," Cate said. She wasn't entirely sure if anyone here knew that she was friends with Ash, so she resisted the urge to ask for any updates.

"I just can't wrap my head around them," Amelio said, returning. "I hate how they can be right under our nose so often and still we can't stop them."

Gabriel put a hand on his shoulder. "You'll get there," he said.
Cate nodded uncomfortably in agreement.

Noah turned to Cate. "You told me that it was hard for you to find a job. Is that because of you knowing them?"
"Knowing them? Through the Moss family you mean?" Amelio asked.

Cate sighed, trying to not act nervous. This was what happened when your friend didn't warn you that the dinner party host was a cop... "I was friends with Ash in high school. I don't know if you remember, about five months ago the Joker forced a friend and I to help break out Ash and Moss. I was acquitted, but... well... not many people want to hire someone who was targeted by the Joker."
Gabriel watched her thoughtfully.

"Oh.." Amelio said quietly. "I had no idea, I'm so sorry."
