Summary: This is a White Collar/Burn Notice Crossover. Management from Burn Notice has threatened Peter to take Kate to make him retrieve something Neal took from him. If he didn't do it, he'd kill El, burn Peter, and then hunt down Neal and Kate as well.
Pairings: Neal/Peter, Neal/Kate, Peter/El, Mike/Fi
Spoilers: 'Free Fall' on White Collar and 'Lesser Evil' on Burn Notice Standard disclaimer: White Collar and Burn Notice and all the characters are not mine and are used without permission. I am not getting paid for this.
A/N: This is my first time in these genres so bear with me. Now Management not only wants what Neal took, but everything Neal has for his trouble. Hopefully people will like Part 1, and my health willing Part 2 will follow soon.
Peter sat rigid in the chair as the door opened, a shadow falling over the woman's face as she entered the room. "Hello, Kate."
"Hello, Peter," she replied, her eyes cold. She was angry at how he'd been lying to Neal this whole time.
"We need to talk about Neal," he sighed knowing this conversation had been long overdue.
Her eyes flared as she shut the door and crossed the room.
"You DO know how much risk you re putting him in, right? If the man doesn't get what he's after it will go badly for all of us, and if Neal starts doubting me that will make it so much harder..." Peter paused unaware that right now Neal was across town finding out some inconvenient truth of his own. He handed Kate a cell phone. "Please wait for my call this time. It's an untraceable cell. Don't call Neal, I need to talk to him first," Peter stressed praying she'd listen just this once. "If I can't get him to listen to me, it might get him killed, you don't want that do you?" 'I sure don't.' he kept to himself.
Kate just shook her head. Peter had made his point.
Peter slipped the ring into the pocket of his coat as he got into his car and drove home.

Neal raced down the street after the news he'd just gotten. He still couldn't believe Peter would betray him, especially about Kate! No, there had to be a logical explanation for this, for everything. He soon found himself outside Peter's place, and even more alarmed, Peter was just arriving home.
He'd left the office before Neal had, he wasn't carrying any groceries or food boxes so no late night cravings. 'No, no, no, it can t be true!' his mind raced at 100 miles an hour. He took a deep breath and went over to his friend. He deserved to know what was going on. "Hey, Peter," he forced a smile bumping into Peter his hand dipping into a coat pocket coyly, praying there wouldn't be anything there.
"Neal, what are you doing here?" Peter asked, his brow raised as Neal brushed him.
Neal's fingers brushed over the ring in his hand, the rage building in his mind. They balled into a fist and he struck Peter in the jaw. "You! You have KATE!" he screamed flashing the ring back at Peter.
Peter took a few seconds to recover and realized he needed to take control now or things would go bad fast. He pushed Neal into the wall immobilizing him with a tight grip and placing a hand over his mouth before someone called 911. "Neal, I need you to listen to me like you've never listened before," he growled slowly. "There is a man who wants something you took from him, and he threatened to kill El, my career, and hunt you and Kate if I didn t do what he said. Now, that ring you're holding has a tracking device much like the anklet you re wearing, he's been monitoring ME. We're going to go inside, we're going to talk. The man gave me names of others he's burned to prove he was serious and I think there's one man who might be able to help us. His name is Michael Westin and he's in Miami," Peter sighed hoping Neal would hear him out.
