A/n: This is a phone conversation between Peter and Elizabeth that takes place during Neal's 4 hour stay in jail in 'Ancient History'
"Hi, hon!"
"I need to talk, El!"
"About what?"
"Neal's in jail and it's my fault."
"What?"
"He didn't do anything wrong. I'm at the station, but they won't let me see him…"
She frowns. Peter watches Neal; that's just how it is. And when he can't…
"If I stay here talking, he can hear me," Peter explains.
Elizabeth calls out for Yvonne to cancel her afternoon appointments. "Just keep talking, Peter. Tell me again about your first case with Neal..."
Peter barely has a voice left that night when he brings Neal home for dinner, but both men are smiling.
