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.

4. Chapter 4

Tyger Tyger Chapter 4

Clinton Jones had just walked out from the shower when his phone beeped. Towelling the moisture from the minuscule amount of hair he permitted to grow on top of his head, he walked across the room to check who was messaging him so early on a Saturday.

He grinned broadly as he saw the content, then walked over to his laptop and booted it up. While he waited for the computer to load he dressed himself slowly and went to make coffee. With a fresh brew in hand he rummaged through the top drawer of his desk before extracting the wire that allowed file exchange between his devices. Requiring two hands to untangle said wire from the various others lurking in his 'man drawer' as an ex-girlfriend had teasingly called it, he thought again about getting a Mac and iPhone and cutting down on the amount of crap he'd need around the place.

Finally he sat down and plugged the phone into the USB port. Loading his email he thought deeply before selecting a number of individuals from his contacts list, including Neal, Peter, Diana, a few other trustworthy agents from the White Collar division and finally, after some deliberation, Elizabeth Burke and Sara Ellis.

Satisfied, he attached the file he had been sent and typed an appropriate comment in the subject bar before hitting send. Then he sat back and chuckled heartily as he sipped his steaming beverage.
