"Damn it Neal" Peter said in shock.

Neal looked at Mackenzie and she looked at him remembering what happened years ago. Neal remembers that day all too well when him, Mackenzie, and Keller were pulling a con. They were planning to fence a piece on the market but keep the painting and the money. Neal was unsure about Keller throughout the con because he was rushing and questioning the process. It was the day of the con and everything was going smoothly until Keller pulled a gun on Neal. Shock and uncertainty, if he was going to pull the trigger, filled Neal. His heart pounding, raising his hands, Neal was going to try and rationalize with him… not an option. Darkness covers his life for less than a second but during that time he heard a gunshot from the direction where Keller was standing. Bracing himself he didn't feel anything. He looked at his body no blood, no bullet nothing. He looked at Keller then spies Mackenzie lying on the ground with blood, a bullet but how? He ran over to her while Keller had his chance he grabbed the painting and ran.

"Go get the painting. I'm fine," she struggled to say.

Neal responded with one word "ok." Sprinting to catch up to Keller Neal knew the words "I'm fine" were wrong but she was once again right. Neal slid into a car speeding after Keller

"Damn it, why did it have to be him of all people." Ever since they all were kids they tried to outsmart each other. Usually they were even but Mackenzie would always win. Neal tried to think of a plan but memories of when they all were kids flashed back to him; he finally understood what a very close friend said.

"The past will give you the key to the future."

As he pulled up to the warehouse Neal figured out the pattern. The pattern Keller used every time while they were kids. He confuses the person first. He makes you think that he will do the opposite of what you think so you will do what you originally think but does exactly the opposite of what you do. And so it begins his process. Step one: He is going to hide in a place he knew, a place where he could easily escape from, a place where he could fight. Step two: He will hide exactly where you expect him to be so you wouldn't look there. Step three: He hides what he has (in this case the painting). Step four: The shadows revel him. Step five: he tries to persuade you to join him. Step six: he runs.

Neal thought about it and found out where he will turn the tables. He amused Keller by following his plan until step four going into the warehouse, letting him hide it. But, Keller reveled himself into the light but Neal went back into the darkness. Striking up a conversation with Keller, Neal is both confusing and distracting him. Neal is keeping the conversation going but he finds the painting. The painting falls his position is reveled and Keller pulls out a gun and shoots it in that general direction. With amazing accuracy he misses Neal by just a hair. A UPS truck pulls up to the warehouse. Neal runs out of the warehouse and sees Mackenzie driving the truck.

"Get in now!" Mackenzie screamed. Not questioning Neal followed orders.

"What are you doing?" Neal asked

"What do you mean I'm saving your life for the second time today." She responded angrily. Driving away Neal looks in the mirror and sees Keller getting into a car with his men driving and they quickly catch up.

"Shit" she saw them too Neal thought. A clunk sound was in the back of the truck like the trunk was being opened.

"I'll go see who our visitor is" Neal said unbuckling his seatbelt. Getting into the back Neal is face-to –face with Keller.

"You think I would end it like that?" Keller questioned.

"No, I ended it like that." Neal barked back. He looked at Keller, at the painting then at Keller again. Both of them threw their selves at each other until the collided. Neal opened his eyes to see a fist skimming right across his face. Not knowing what to do he responded the same way. He stood up and grabbed the painting and started to walk away when he was stopped by something pulling the other way. Keller was sitting on the floor not letting go.

"Neal I won last time remember, you will not win this time. Now, we can both drop the painting and settle this like adults." Keller said continuing with step five, "you wouldn't want anything to happen to Kenzie would you?"

Neal looked out the back and saw Keller's men gaining and quick. They went past the sides. A gunshot went off followed by a screech, and a swerve.

"Keller we don't need this. "

"You're right we don't."

Keller dropped the painting and put out a friendly hand waiting to be shaken. Neal uneasily started for it but all too quickly turned into a fist and again swept across his face. Neal responded. Multiple moves were played when a scream rang through the air followed by screech of the tires and a barrel roll. Neal hit his head on the shelves of the truck just when the whip lash was in effect and was knocked out. Few moments later Neal woke up. The world was still speckled and circling around him. He looked around saw his knuckles covered in blood and scratches from Keller's rings on his face. Keller himself in just as bad as a position and broken and bloody he had the painting all torn up and destroyed. When Neal heard a friendly voice,

"Neal we got to go where's Kenzie?" Neal turned around to find Danny Ocean standing there wondering where his daughter was. Neal could barely lift his arm showed Danny she was in the front.

"Rusty help Neal I'll help Kenzie." Danny ordered.

"Got it" Rusty walked over to Neal and threw his arm over his own shoulders and helped him up. Hearing the sirens they barely made it out with enough time to get away. Neal saw Kenzie in her dad's arms not moving. Neal was only thinking the worst and thought it was his fault for the whole con. They made it to the car just in time but the roads were beginning to close. Driving away from the scene horns of angry New Yorkers filled the New York City air and were the alarms waking Neal up from his past and brought him back to reality.
