Tyger Tyger

Neal finds himself in trouble again in a story which follows events from the perspectives of the White Collar Team. Minor cursing, nothing that wouldn't be said before the watershed, at least in the UK. Multi-chapter story, I'll post one a day as they are only short. Could be set any time - no spoilers.

2. Chapter 2

Tyger Tyger Chapter Two

Diana groaned as she slowly returned to consciousness. Her head was pounding and her eyes were blurry as she carefully sat up, piecing together the fragmented memories of the previous evening. She staggered with exaggerated caution to the bathroom, where she sloshed cold water onto her puffy face.

Suddenly, recollection hit her. She looked up to see her reflection staring angrily at her. How could she have been so stupid? She had to get hold of Peter, urgently. She ran back to her bedroom, eyes casting around until they settled on the assorted jumble from her pockets, carelessly discarded on her chest of drawers. She grabbed her phone and hit the speed dial for her boss. As the phone rang she hurriedly pulled on some clothes, hopping madly with the phone wedged between her shoulder and her ear.

"Boss, listen to me, we need to get to Caffrey, now!... Yeah, I'll meet you there"

Hanging up she zipped up her ankle boots and ran her fingers through her hair before picking up her cuffs, her keys, and, after the slightest hesitation, her gun, slamming the door on her way out.
