______________

He was caught between a rock and a hard place. He promised Moz that he wouldn’t do anything to put himself or Peter in danger, but Moz had given him the first solid lead they had in all the weeks since Thomas Jansen had been pulled from the East River. This was like finding gold in the garbage.

And if Neal could sense that Moz was holding back, Peter was going to know that Neal had something. They were all too close to each other now. No - Neal was going to bring this to Peter, and they were going to work it from the inside - let Moz and Diana be their feet on the street.

He found Peter in the main room, stripped to the waist and wearing just a pair of well-washed gym shorts. He was doing pull-up and El was counting. Neal entertained a brief, but intense fantasy of the three of them as high school friends. He’d be the bad boy, El was the cheerleader and Peter - the captain of the football team. The three of them would make out under the bleachers during halftime.

Neal shook his head - this wasn’t the time. Tonight, though.

Peter spotted him and stopped, dropping lightly to his feet.

“All recovered from the smoke inhalation?”

“Yeah - just about. Still not up to my regular numbers though.” Peter’s flesh glistened with sweat, the apples of his shoulders bulging. Neal wanted to take a big bite.

“You’ve got something?” Peter’s eyes narrowed. “Other than the wood in your pants.”

Neal smirked. So did El. And then he dropped the bombshell.

“What do you know about the Czech explosives industry?”

“A lot, actually. I busted a money laundering operation that was a front for illegal munitions sales. Why?”

“Mozzie traced the C4."

Ooh, plotty stuff. :D

Love this line: "And if Neal could sense that Moz was holding back, Peter was going to know that Neal had something. They were all too close to each other now."

It's like all the things that Neal was afraid of now are the things that keep him safe and keep them together.

And the whole paragraph about pull ups and Neal's fantasties... unfffffff
