Hey guys!

So I know I normally write Twilight stories, but I've recently fell in love with White Collar after one of my reviewers suggested I watch it.

This story is therefore White Collar based, but you DON'T need to watch the show to understand it. All you need to do it read and enjoy.

Everything you DO need to know is explained below (be warned this deviates slightly from the TV show):

Neal Caffrey is a art thief/art forger/bond forger and all round high class conman. He is sexy, beautiful, with a silver tongue and a way of getting everything he wants. He originates from St Louis, where he left and moved to Boston when he was 18. On the plane he met Alex (Alexandra), and for three years in Boston they were partners in crime, before they moved to New York at 21. They continued to be partners in crime, as well as lovers and best friends.

However, Neal soon met Mozzie, a man wth impeccable brains and brilliant conman skills. They became fast friends and began to organise a con involving a millionaire named Vincent Alder and his business. Neal worked for Alder (under the name of Nick Holden), in a bid to gain his trust and also his bank account details, with which Neal and Mozzie would take the money and run.

During this time Neal forgot about Alex.

He fell for Vincent Alder's assistant, Kate. He was planning on bringing Kate into the scam too, and they could then live happily together. However, Neal and Mozzie were the ones scammed, because Alder closed down his business, taking all the shareholders money, including Neal's.

After this failure, Kate found out about the real Neal, and they began to work together on scams and cons, with Mozzie too.

However, Neal got caught by the FBI, and was jailed for four years on a count of bond forgery.

With only four months left on his sentence, Neal suddenly broke out of prison.

The reason?

Kate.

She visited him every week in jail, but on her last visit (five months before the end of Neal's jail sentence), she broke up with him.

A month later, Neal escaped and tried to find her. But she was gone.

Neal was caught again, and put back in prison.

However, Neal pitched an idea to Agent Peter Burke (who caught Neal on both occasions), with the compromise that Neal would be let out of prison and into the FBI White Collar Crime Unit's custody. In their custody he would work for them, helping them bring down other criminals with his own knowledge of White Collar trade. He would also have a tracking anklet, with a two mile radius around New York, so the FBI could track him at any time and he was bound within his confinements. If he broke any of the rules he would be straight back in prison.

Agent Peter Burke accepted the offer and Neal was released.

Neal currently lives with an elderly (and very rich) lady named June, who he met at a thrift shop when she was donating her late husbands designer suits. Neal and her husband have a lot in common within the forgery trade and so June sees him as a son. Neal lives in a separate apartment in her estate, and is known for his designer suits and "fashionable" hats.

While Neal works with the FBI, he has also been tracking down Kate with Mozzie. They have found out she's been kidnapped and the man who has her wants an ancient amber music box...

But for Neal to get the music box, he needs one person...

Alex.

And that brings us to our story.

Alexandra

Prologue

"You know exactly who you need for this job, don't you?" Mozzie glanced at me from across the table, and I stalled midway through my gulp of wine.

"No way." I shook my head, "Not gonna happen."

"Yes." Mozzie nodded, "It probably won't happen. Because once she sees you she'll probably kill you."

I sighed, "Look, what happened wasn't my fault."

"We both know that's a lie and I'm leaving before your pants catch on fire." He stood up, grabbing his jacket from his chair before he moved towards the door, "Let me know if you reconsider… If you want the music box so badly, then I know you will."

I watched as Mozzie left, chewing on my bottom lip as the thoughts invaded my mind.

Thoughts of Alex.

I'd known her since I left St Louis when I was eighteen. The first time I saw her was when she sat down next to me on the plane headed for Boston.

We spent three years in Boston together. We became fast friends, perfect lovers, and successful partners in crime.

With our joint skills in conning and forgery, as well as her perfection in planning and the finer details of scams, we were absolutely unbreakable.

When we were twenty one we moved to New York.

We got separate apartments at different ends of Manhattan, which allowed us to work bigger scams.

Then… I met Mozzie.

And I got greedy.

I took part in the long-con we'd both planned, under the alias of Nick Holden. I had to work for a man named Vincent Alder, I had to con him out of his money and then we'd be set for life.

But along the way I burned my bridge with Alex.

I let her go. I fell for Kate, Vincent's assistant.

The con collapsed, Vincent took everything and ran, and still to this day I wonder if I had of had Alex's help, maybe we would have succeeded…

But it was too late for regrets now. Mozzie and I were partners, best friends. Kate was the woman I loved and right now I had to find the amber music box which belonged to Catherine The Great. Once I found the music box, I could give it to the guy who'd kidnapped Kate, and I'd have her back.

And then we'd start our life together.

The only problem was…

The only person who could have any clue where the music box is… Was Alex.

And I didn't think she'd want to see me now… Not after nine years… Not after I explained why I wanted her help…

Alex had loved me… Who knows, maybe she was over me by now…

But I had high doubts that she would help me get the music box, to get someone I loved.
