Rating: G
Characters/Pairing: Mozzie, Diana Berrigan
Fandom: White Collar
Spoilers: None
Warnings/Enticements/Triggers: None
Word Count: 300 Exactly!
Summary: Moz and the Lady Suit plan ... starts right on this heels of Too Much of a Coincidence. Continues the Danger Series.
(Finally catching up here...I've been writing epics for months, and I need to rediscipline myself. Because not everything needs to be 12,000 words or more).
THE DANGER SERIES:
TARGET | HUNT | CASE | FILE | BACKGROUND | INTERROGATION | WITNESS | HOME | HOME 2 | FAMILY | FAMILY 2 | TEAM | UNIT | UNIT 2 | PAPER | CLAY | PAINT | INK | CHECK | CASH
______________
“Moz, you’re a credit to your profession.” Diana gave Mozzie a little respect, at last. As much as the little man annoyed her, he was probably the best one to keep Peter, El and Neal alive and find out who was behind the attempts on their lives.
“I may be pocket-sized, Lady Suit, but I am the best in the business.” Moz hadn’t forgotten the insult she had once thrown at him.
“Do I want to know how many laws you broke getting this information? How many databases you hacked?”
“Lady – if you have to ask, you really don’t want to know.”
She grimaced at him, and Moz was reminded of a sleekly beautiful attack dog. All elegance and grace until you made a noise and attracted its attention. Then it became doom on legs with sharp pointed teeth just a bit away from ripping your heart out. Moz absently rubbed the scar on his chest. He had already come close to having that organ removed…and since he was fond of breathing, he kept his distance from Diana. From his beautiful monster.
“Are you going to tell Neal and Peter?”
“Why wouldn’t I? They need to know what’s going on.”
“Well maybe because they just might do something stupid…like leave Obscurity to track the bastards down.”
“That may be something Neal would do…but Peter knows better.”
“Oh, really?” Contempt dripped from Moz’s voice. “You have a very selective memory.”
Diana shrugged – Moz was right. Telling them could only drive them deeper into danger.
“So what do you suggest?”
“The long con, we draw them out. We play their game and cut them off at the knees.”
She grinned in appreciation and Moz shivered. “Like I said, you are a credit to your profession. I have an idea.”
“I’m all ears.”
