Author's Note: Answer to the second challenge for usanetwork_las . I’m out of the running for now, but I had fun with it and look forward to round two. I enjoyed the challenge of writing to a prompt and in a bubble. I’ve never done the bubble thing before. Oh and if anyone has any ideas where to pimp this...lemme know.

“He did WHAT?!”

Peter glared at the phone in front of him as if it was the cause of his annoyance before glancing up and seeing Diana in the doorway. Beckoning her forward, he continued his conversation, “What proof do you have that it was Neal?” Ignoring Diana’s expression, he added, “I’m assuming you dusted for prints, looked for evidence?” Listening, he replied, “Well, until you can give me concrete proof that it actually was Neal, I’m going to have to refuse to turn him over to you.” Slamming the phone down, he turned to Diana, snapping, “What?”

“So what did Neal do this time?” she asked, handing over the folder she’d brought in with her.

Peter flipped it open, glancing through the information. “Allegedly did.” He groaned as he realized what he’d said. “And now he’s got me saying it.”

Diana nodded, a smile dancing at the corners of her mouth. “What did he allegedly do?”

Tossing the folder onto the desk, he dropped into the chair. “This shouldn’t upset me anymore. I mean it’s Neal. I should be used to these things.”

“True,” Diana replied. “I’m assuming he didn’t actually get caught?” At Peter’s expression, she said, “Never mind, it’s Neal. What did he lift?”

“I can’t even really get mad anymore,” Peter said. “I’m already over it.” He shook his head, almost laughing. “I almost wish I’d seen the expression on his face though.”

“Peter? What did Neal take? And from whom?”

“He apparently paid a visit to Captain Jacobs and now the man is missing his badge and credentials.”

“Oh, okay,” Diana agreed. Then her eyes widened. “He did what?!”

Peter leaped out of his seat, ripping his door open, and hollering, “Jones! Find me Caffrey! Now!”

this is fun :D

I have no idea who captain Jacobs is (should I?) but I love Peters reaction, and Diana is excellent :P

Thanks! I wanted to try something new.

Um, no? I picked a random name...LOL good I had fun with Peter and Diana.

So wanna email me some questions? And I'll try to answer them in a bit (I'm off to cook dinner now) since neither Jensen nor Christian are co-operating and those were the stories I planned to work on tonight.

LOL! That was totally Neal-esque! ^^

Yes, I thought so :-)

That was AWESOME and totally something I could see happening. I'm rewatching Season Two on my iPod now only because I lent my season 1 DVDs to somebody and I would like them BACK now, please.

BTW, I got your card a couple of days ago. Thank you very much. It was so sweet.

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it! Haha I don't have any of the DVDs or I'd try to help you out.

Aaaw so glad you got it. I started work on your present, but I have some deadline stuff for the other LAS group...so I'm working on that. I haven't forgotten about your fic(s) though. :-)

They really should be used to neal's shennaigans by now, but that wouldn't be nearly as fun to read about!

Awesome job!

I know right? But oh well...it wouldn't be nearly as fun if they were.

Thanks!
