-Kara-

I was getting my self some coffee when I heard someone well, more specifically Neal behind me.

"You got a haircut?"

"Yesterday, why?" i answered grabbing the sweetener and the milk "Problem?" I challenge

"No, not at all." he cleared his throat

"You look tired and it's not because of me. So what's going on?" I tilt my head slightly

" Long night. Peter is probably gonna ask you questions. He thinks the art didn't burn." he told me

"I know, he think you stole it and replaced it. Did you?" I question

"No."

"You do know that if I find out you did I will shoot you in the balls just on principal for being and idiot and asshole. I heard it's painful." I saw him visibly gulp "Just so you know of course." I tap his shoulder and walk into Peters office.

"How is it that Neal looks like he's going to either throw up or pass out?" he wondered

"I may have threatened his crown jewels with my gun if I found out he was lying. I'm a scary woman when I need to be." Peter laughed and nodded

"Yeah you are."

"So, did you think he did it? Or knows who did?" I sat down and cross my legs.

"I don't know? What do you think?" he wonders

"I think he's Caffrey, whether we're close or not, keep one eye open at all times. That and he has way to many tells." I answer "You do know that I'm an Agent first right? I will cut anything going on..."

"I trust you, Kara. Neal on the other hand doesn't make it easy" he shook his head

"When has he ever made it easy? That would be no fun and there would be no challenge. You and i both know it's an adrenaline rush when things are a little harder." I raised my cup to him.

"Scotty!" I grinned broadly. He stood up and I wrapped my arms around him. "Uh, I've missed you." I hug him tightly

"How are the kids?" I question as we sit down.

"They're good. Kourtney got them this none gluten, none dairy, none anything thing." he answered making me laugh.

"Figures."

"So I gotta ask. Kylie told me about the boyfriend. But you don't have one last I checked"

"It's complicated. Apparently Dad was bugging her not knowing about my life, so she made up the boyfriend and expected for me to clear up her mess. The work release con we've got working for us."

"Neal Caffrey, right." i nodded in response

"Yeah, I told him what Ky did, next thing I know he's coming in calling me sweetheart and charming Dad." I scratched my head

"Oh there's more tell me." he leaned forward just as the waitress came over to take our order. "So?"

"We may have gone a little father a little while back. And no I'm not tell you how or why, or anything else because I know deep down your a perv." he snorted in amusement "And don't be running of blabbing to Kendall and Kylie either, this stays strictly on the down low because it's dangerous."

"Says the girl who loves a little danger. You forget I've known you since you were a kid bad mouthing me for being a dickhead to your sister."

-3rd Person-

Neal watched as Peter handed over the briefcase with half of the manifest over to Kara. Now he felt bad, he was gonna have to go against whatever budding relationship or whatever it was he had with Kara so he could save his own skin with the art Mozzie had stolen. Kara grabbed her things and was going to leave.

"Working late." she commented

"No, just wrapping up paperwork." he answered

"Night, Neal." she gave him as smile and headed for the elevators. Neal texted Mozzie who was waiting outside then followed.

"Kara!" he called she turned around and he held up her scarf

"Oh thanks." he jogged over and handed it to her. she but the briefcase down and took it from him wrapping it around her neck

"Was that a gift?" he wondered distracting her

"Curiosity killed the Cat." she joked just was he was about to say something else Someone drew Kara's attention away.

"Little K!" Kara turned her head towards Scott who was approaching them. Neal glanced as Mozzie and shook his head meaning abort.

"Scotty." she beamed and they hugged. Neal looked awkwardly "Neal this is my sisters ex and my best friend Scott. Scotty this is Neal Caffrey." the two shook hands

"The infamous Neal Caffrey." Neal smiled "i would say his smile's charming rather than devious." Scott commented draping his arm over Kara's shoulders

"Oh it's devious. Is Rob still up for meeting up?" she questioned

"Yeah, he's meeting us at Babbo." Scott answered

"Okay. Later Neal."

"Wait, I was thinking dinner at my place." he offered

"I'll think about it. Bye." The two left and Neal went up to speak to Mozzie.
