Summary: It's out of his range, but anything's possible.


Neal watches as the storm gathers in Peter’s office. First Diana showing Peter something in a newspaper, then suspicion clouding Peter’s face. Even Jones seems to be involved. Finally, the two-finger summons.

A stolen Picasso. San Francisco. The thief in a dark jacket, white shirt, dark pants, and loafers with no socks.

He doesn’t bother denying anything; just crosses his legs, ostentatiously displaying the tracking anklet.

"You can't pin every well-dressed crime on me, Peter.”

Peter smiles in agreement and Neal realizes that Peter’s been playing him. He’s simultaneously relieved and chagrinned.

Peter is getting way too good at this.
