Aftermath
Warning: MAJOR spoiler for Point Blank
Authors note: When I first started reading fanfiction, it was about a month after Out Of The Box, and because there was about five pages of aftermaths i promised my self that i would never write one, but can you blame me for writing an aftermath now? i mean seriously... any way this takes place about three hours after the finale, it has been confirmed that Mozzie is going to make it, and Peter is lecturing Neal on his actions.
Disclaimer: If i owned White Collar, i would own Neal's old anklet prop, but i don't so

"I'm sorry, Peter." Neal finally cut in.
"And what exactly are you sorry for, Caffrey?" Peter snapped.
"For getting Alex to steal the music box, for stealing the gun, for unlocking my anklet, and for almost killing a …kind of innocent man." Neal replied.
"Caffrey... I told you justice would be enough." Peter said, referring to the conversation they had right before they opened the music box. 'God,' Peter thought, 'that seems like years ago, now.'
"Peter, you know if it had been Elizabeth, you would have done the same." Neal said, his voice a mixture of anger, guilt, and a wanting for Peter to understand.
"I would have chosen justice." Peter said, but not as confidently as he would have liked.
"Peter, you can wish as much as you want that you would be strong enough to choose justice, and hope just as much that the question of which you would choose will always remain hypothetical, but you know that you would do what Jessica, Fowler, I, and every person on the planet would do." Neal said strongly.
Peter didn't reply, because he knew it was true.
"Peter," Neal said sadly, "put me back in prison."
"WHAT?" Peter said. He never thought that Neal would ask to got to prison, and as angry as he was with Neal for going after Fowler, he hated the thought of his best friend going back to jail.
"Peter, I was about 90% sure that Fowler was Kate's killer, and I shot at him. You were right when you said that wasn't me. I hated feeling like I was about to murder some one. What happens when I think that I've found Kate's killer, and Mozzie's shooter? I know that I will kill him. So please, put me back in jail, until you catch him."
"Neal..."

Authors note: i know you hate me for ending it right there, but I am truly afraid that Neal will either go to jail or kill this new guy. I'm not worried about Mozzie though. If you read the Jeff Eastin interview on Facebook, he says something about Mozzie hating the feds again in upcoming episodes, and how could he do that if he was dead? Anyway please review. Also, I know I have emailed several people who put Expulsion on story alert, that it was just a oneshot, but i am thinking about adding some knew chapters. Let me know what you think. Also it is now exactly 9:11 p.m., September 11th, so moment of silence.
