Summary
Neal doesn’t feel it until he stops moving. It’s a blister that only smarts once the shoe’s pulled off.
Wherein, after the very fake events of In the Red, for Neal, things get a bit too real.

Summary
The street was empty. Parked cars and the blur of rain catching in the orange glow of the street lamps. An illuminated window in an opposing townhome—cold white. A swirl of water flowing through fallen leaves, down the slick pavement towards the storm drain.
Peter dropped the curtain. He decided he would check the attic.

Summary
There’s Freckles who followed Peter in. There’s another guy too, standing off to the side—sleeves rolled up and a tattoo of a cougar curling around his bicep. And there’s who’s undeniably Walsh, sitting on the edge of a bunk, looking Peter over with disinterest, his hand resting casually—as if sitting on an armrest—on the bent head of a fourth man, who’s, quite literally, kneeling at Walsh’s feet.

Summary
It is always Frank: cleaning up the vomit, wrestling Gerard into the shower, keeping him from looking like an ass with the press, shoving water, coffee, crap microwave food down his throat. Peeling Gerard off of him because Gerard is always near or squarely at the point of not remembering his own name when he comes onto Frank like that.

Summary
Peter conceals his worry about as well as he conceals his anger—though only one of those tends to linger. If Diana’s day hadn’t also gone to hell, she might actually feel bad for how far back into the doghouse Caffrey’s going to be shoved after this one. He’d better hope his puppy dog eyes go a long way, cause international incident is a touch more serious than pinching Peter’s favorite pen.

Peter’s seen the symptoms and diagnosed his cause. In his mind it must be simple—there’s a before and there’s an after. And they don’t talk about the in-between.

Summary
The Tennyson case had only been languishing on Peter’s desk with little progress for three days when Peter found himself in his boss’ office to make his plea.
Specifically, to put a stop to the action plan he’d arrived that morning to find Agent Hammond already plowing ahead with: Clark Laurent's resurrection.

Summary
Peter's about to have this paperwork off his desk, he’s about to have this fraudster taken care of…at least for the next five years or so.
Or, that’s what he thinks until he walks out of blistering cold—too damn cold for it to only be November—into the polished glass and marble of City National, flashes a badge, meets the manager, heads back to the security room, and sees that the security guard is holding the arm of a kid.

Summary
It doesn’t hurt.
That’s what Neal tells Peter, unsure if he’s saying it as comfort—a reflexive response to the horror on Peter’s face—or merely as observation.

Summary
He doesn’t know how long it’s been.
It could be minutes, it could be hours. The only gauge of passing time is the blood beating in Neal’s ears—a steady pulse—and the tension in his muscles slowly knitting tighter.

Summary
He presses the phone against his ear—listening to the drone of the dial tone.
This is a terrible idea.
