A/N: Saw "World's Greatest Couple" again recently and wondered if, really, Lily wasn't nosy at all while she was in Barney's Apartment without him?
Lily shouldn't snoop, she knew, but she couldn't help it. None of them had ever gotten the chance to really poke around in Barney's apartment before. There had to be something beyond the wall of porn, empty kitchen, and room of suits. Maybe she could even find out what the hell Barney did for a living.
A latch clicked behind Barney's dresser as Lily poked around its sides. Victory.
She smiled and pulled at the furniture until it and a bit of the wall behind it popped free to reveal a little rectangular cache.
Passports.
Money.
Weapons.
Coded notes.
Maps with little X's on them and highlighted routes.
And all addressed to James, Ted, Robin, Marshall, and herself. Labeled in case of his death.
Lily shoved the dresser back as fast as she could. On second thought, maybe she didn't want to know. It was probably better that way.
