Neal Caffery POV

Neal looked down at what he was wearing and then back up at Peter, who seemed to be trying not to laugh then back down at what he was wearing. He was wearing what seemed to be leather pants and a ripped T-shirt to a bad he had never heard of before today but he could now spout all the good points of if asked (not that he was sure he agreed with them but it was a role that he had to fill after all and he was good at what he did).

He ran his hand through his hair, which for once was not perfectly styled, but instead was sticking up all over the place, with neon green tips to really finish the look fully. He made a face when a piece of hair went into his eyes but he made no other move to change his discomfort with the location of the piece of hair. He was glad that the temporary dye should be gone in a few days as this color certainly did not suit him but it was for the character, so he made it work. He would definitely not be pulling off any other cons with this look, that is for sure.

Peter then spoke, "Okay, so tell me who you are again."

He sighed, having gone over it a bunch of times as he had made his outfit but nonetheless dutifully repeated, "My name is Hunter James. I go to clubs like this all the time but normally in my home town, not while I am out on business. This is sort of my secret passion, please call be deathlace, I really want to start my own group."

Diana did not even bother to keep a straight face and broke down laughing. Jones was not far behind, but Peter managed to keep a straight face. He did catch him sneaking pictures though, probably to send to Elizabeth, who would, in turn, share them with Mozzie, who would certainly never let him live this down. He said goodbye to his reputation and started to walk out of the dressing area, ignoring the looks that other agents sent him. He had certainly done worse.

He was glad that Peter had taken off his tracking anklet before he had put on these leather pants or he would have never been able to get them over them. The team followed him out of the white-collar office and downstairs, splitting off at the door, them heading toward the van while he got a taxi cab, already suited up and on the com, though that certainly took some mounvering to successfully hide in the outfit he was wearing.

He stepped out of the cab confidently, like he had done this before, and approached the door to the club, opening it easily and nodding at the bouncer. The bouncer did not say a word as he headed toward the bar, and sat at the end, angling the stool so his back was against the wall and he could observe the whole room. He could just barely hear Peter and the rest of the team in the van over the music and had no idea what they could hear from his end.

He immediately ordered a punk rock slut, and sipped the drink when it was slid over to him. It was a bit bitter for him but he raised it in cheers to the bartender anyway. He immediately started to observe the room, wanting to see who was present in the bar. He saw a with bright pink hair head out the back, obviously just finishing their shift, probably eager to get out of those boots. They looked pretty uncomfortable and was glad he had gone with a pair of black boots with a very little heel.

He focused his attention on a table in the corner of the room and saw Halbridge sitting at a table in the corner of the room, obviously holding some sort of business meeting in the back corner. Honestly, this was the perfect place as there was little to no chance that a person would be able to overhear another conversation and he could barely hear Peter, who seemed to be yelling in his ear at the moment, saying a bunch of things that he already knew.

He picked up his drink and made his way closer to the table that Halbridge was sitting at, wanting to see if there was a chance he could pick up any of the words being said but it was nearly impossible, especially as he did not want to get close enough to be noticed by those in the meeting.

He ended up settling down at a pool table and betting money against some of the other guys and girls that were there. He was able to make some money and he was able to be pretty close to Halbridge, almost catching a few of the words that were being said, and he wondered if Peter would be able to make out some more if someone was able to filter out the music in the background.

One of the guys he had beat ended up buying him another drink when he saw that the first one was almost empty. He had no choice but to consume that one as well, as it would look weird if he didn't. He was not afraid that he was feeling a bit buzzed by the time that Halbridge seemed to be ready to close up shop. All of his associates seemed to have wandered away and he hoped that Jones was able to get a good shot of them from the van in order to look them up later.

Halbridge seemed to be just taking in the room, and for some reason, he seemed to zero in on Neal. He hoped that that was not lust in his eyes, and he listened hard to what Peter was saying, hoping it was a signal to leave before Halbridge decided to chat him up. He was glad that Halbridge walked out of the bar, and easily won his next game of pool, extracting himself from the situation.

He paid his tab off and then decided to exit through the back of the bar, near the bathrooms, figuring that the van would be parked right outside of the door and they could take him back to the office to get out of the clothes. That is not quite what happened though. He did find a van but when he opened the door, he certainly did not see who he expected to see inside.

AN: Hey guys! I actually finished this chapter a few hours after the other one but I decided to sit on it for a few days in order to see how the previous chapter was received. I think this story may actually be finishing up soon, with only a few more scenes to write, though sadly Parker going to the FBI may be off-screen as I think it may have happened about the same time as the last chapter, which means no Hardison, and I am not sure how exactly I want it to go. If anyone has any ideas, I can through them in as a flashback in one of the few chapters remaining. Let me know what you think ~Jenn008

PS: unless something changes I have the rest of the story finished and you will get a chapter every Sunday.
