Title: Torn Apart
Author: [livejournal.com profile] embroiderama
Rating: PG
Pairing/characters: Neal & Peter gen
Word count: 1,635
Spoilers: 4x04 Parting Shots
Warnings: (Highlight to read) secondary character death
Summary: After the end of the episode, Neal was in no state to deal with the police or anything else; lucky for him, he had Peter.

Notes: This was written for [livejournal.com profile] azertynin's prompt at the [livejournal.com profile] whitecollarhc Angst-a-palooza. It also fills the "death" square (wildcard) in my [livejournal.com profile] hc_bingo card. I started this right after the ep but then got blocked so this is just sliding under the wire before the new episode airs.

( The word was little more than a breath, and Neal shook his head. He felt a touch at his ankle and looked down to see the cop pushing aside the hem of his pants with the toe of her boot, giving her a better look at his anklet. )
