Leverage White Collar crossover

At age 17 Nathan Ford was having a relationship with Neal Caffrey's mother. She eventually ends the relationship not telling Nathan she is pregnant with Neal. Nathan never learns of Neal until after Neal's mother's death some years later. The 1st time they meet is when Nathan catches Neal the 1st time. After a night of truth's and booze Nathan lets Neal go with a promise of an open home if he should ever need it. Over the years the two would keep in touch. While the two men's relationship was not easily defined the two did eventually consider each other family.

Neal was in jail when Nathan's son Sam died in the Hospital and Nathan was in jail when Neal's Kate was murdered. After setting up Marc Vector Nathan gives everyone time off in which he leaves for a long over due trip to New York. Before Nathan's trip he has Hardison think of a way to outsmart a U.S. marshal tracking anklet.

The 1st thing Nathan did after hugging his son was convince Neal to replace his very real ankle tracker with a fake one.

The switch

-1 Hardison special smart phone that can copy and replicate the G.P.S. transmitter and has an on/off switch.

-1 fake G.P.S. anklet that has a glowing light but does nothing, the light turns off when the phone G.P.S. is turned off.

-1 decorative box that has an interior that shields both analog and digital signals

-1 Hardison E.M.P. gun

-2 anklet free people

Step 1: replicate anklets G.P.S. transmitting signal onto smart phone do not start transmitting.

Step 2: have one person take the phone outside of the room ready to turn on the transmitter.

Step 3: have the 2nd person with the E.M.P. gun shoot the bracelet after a 3 second countdown at the same time have the 1st person begin transmitting.

Step 4: remove the now dead anklet and place it in the shielded box.

Step 5: adjust the fake anklet so the Marshal's key will work.

Step 6: pop a cork on a bottle of champagne and toast your new found freedom.

(Post Leverage episode 3-13 and White Collar 2-8) After removing the transmitter Mozzy was given Hardison's email address so they could compare notes on advance technologies.

After talking most the night Nathan and Neal had a good lead on the very corrupt Fowler and a short list of enemies who would want to kill either Neal or Kate. On top of the list were 2 names the 1st was Matthew Keller the 2nd was Vincent Adler. Nathan for the time being was going to do the leg work on finding Fowler and the other names on the list and Neal was going to run interference with the White collar division as needed. It only took Nathan (read Hardison) 24 hours to find most of the names on the list and another 24 for Nathan to capture and quietly interrogate Fowler. With the elimination of Fowler from the list of suspects Nathan quickly moves onto Keller who with the help of Hardison Nathan is able to interview Keller in prison. While Keller is vicious and intelligent enough Nate was able to eliminate him from the list of suspects. By the end of the week Nathan was able to eliminate every other name on the list by other means except Vincent Adler. Nathan (read Hardison) was able to locate Adler up to 6 months ago when he fell off grid even to Hardison. Without any new leads Nathan starts setting up the ground work for Neal's escape which includes a series of safe houses. The 1st safe house is an old apartment building on the same block as Junes home. The 2nd was an old barge that had been converted into a home but still with more than adequate storage space and a brand new motor and steerage.
