Meeting Jerry Always Comes With Storytelling

Steve's POV: 

After bringing Mollie aside for a little chat about how to act toward a police officer, she agreed to hang out downstairs with our computer tech - Jerry Ortega. I knew she would stay occupied with Jerry since he always has some new story or trivial information ready to share. I laughed to myself even thinking about it. She wasn't going anywhere. So, I walk her downstairs and down the hallway until we arrived at his office. Unsurprisingly, I found him with his office completely overtaken by computer parts and pieces all over. I roll my eyes in exhaustion due to the massive amount of clutter. I clear my throat to get his attention and I hear a giggle from Mollie. I subtly glance over at her and give her a look. "Mollie, this is Jerry Ortega. He is our technology tech" I introduce him. "And, Jerry, this is Catherine's daughter, Mollie," I go on to tell him. "Well, it is nice to meet another Rollins," he says with a smile and holds out his hand for a fist bump, to which Mollie gladly accepts. "Mollie," I say, changing my tone to a subtly serious one. "You are to stay in the vicinity of Jerry's office, you can use the restroom and everything. But, no snooping. Absolutely none. Got it?" I cringe at my sad attempt to be firm with her and try to set boundaries. She nods and gives me a smile. "Don't worry about me, go do your job" she says sweetly. Something tells me she has something up her sleeve, but I don't question it.

Mollie's POV:

I enter Jerry's office and ask, "Do you need any help with any of this?" He looks up at me and smiles, "Unless you know have to reprogram a circuit board, I think we are at a total loss" he says. "Good thing I was the one who hacked into a government server... I definitely know how to resize and reprogram a circuit board" I tell him. "What, that was you?" he asks completely shocked. "Yeah... That's partially why I am spending the day with Steve. I am suspended from school and I also got into a fight in the caf... but that's beside the point" I ramble. "Oh, well hopefully you're not in too much trouble and you learn from this mistake" he offers as a piece of advice. I smile, "Ya, my grandpa is still pretty salty about it all, but Steve was only concerned... So, he let me spend the day with him. I guess I already messed that up to" I say. "How come?" Jerry questions. "Well, I was rude to Kono and Steve thought it would be best if I hung out down here" I explain. "Oh, gotcha. Well, this will be fun" he says, not so convinced. 

A few hours later...

"Hey, I am going to run to the restroom. Will you be ok alone for a few minutes?" Jerry asked. "Ya, I am 15. I can take care of myself" I retort laughing. "Right. Well, I will be right back" he says before heading out and down the hall. This was my chance I thought to myself. I know Steve said  "no snooping" but what's the worst that could happen?.. 

Jerry's POV:

I head back from the restroom to the office when I realized that Mollie was gone. "What the heck kid.." I mumble to myself before looking down the hallways - no Mollie. I head upstairs and see that Danny and Steve are conversing. Steve sees me and tells Danny something before heading to me. "Hey Jerry, what's up? Where's Mollie?" he asks nonchalantly. "Uh, about that.. Steve, I can't find her.."
