Summary: Neal is pretty pissed when he discovers Clint and Peter have been lying to him, but then he learns the reason – Keller’s back in town to finish the job he started last time: to kill Neal.

Keller rang off and within a second, a photo text chimed through on the phone Neal held; there was a picture of Clint, bloodied but alive, glaring into the camera, along with an address somewhere in New Jersey. Neal couldn’t suppress the moan of frustration that escaped his throat.

“Neal, you can’t go,” Peter said. “The Bureau has resources, protocols.”

“Which I expect you will bring to bear with all the talent and skill you possess, Peter, but I’m going to go meet Keller too. We’ve got to give Clint every chance in this. You know… you know he’ll kill Clint. Please… tell me you understand?”

“I can’t let you break the law, Neal.”

“Then don’t ask me where I’m going.”
