Who: Neal Caffrey/
defineguilty
Verse: Apple doesn't fall far
What: A call for help
Warnings: None
Arthur wasn't sure why he had dropped everything to come see Neal. Maybe because the man hadn't asked for help in over ten years. Maybe because Arthur knew it was the right thing to do. Maybe... In the end he knew the answer.
It was what their father would have wanted.
Getting his bags from the claim area, he headed for the lounge, knowing he would need a drink before he met with his brother. Ordering a double scotch, he sent out another text.
I'm here. How far does that leash let you go?

He scrubs a hand over his jaw before firing another off.

It was a cruel barb but he couldn't help himself.
I'll make my own way. Not up for the FBI coming for me.

June?
If this was about a woman, he was going to kill him.

Decrepit? Really?

Date: 2011-03-08 11:36 pm (UTC)Arthur never lived by that belief, never wanted to accept that one day they would find him and catch him.

Date: 2011-03-10 06:35 pm (UTC)For a brief moment he had the panic that Neal cared enough for this agent's approval that this was a set up. His hand went to his bag, making himself stop. Neal wouldn't turn him in. He couldn't imagine it, even if they had never been close.
no subject
Date: 2011-03-11 12:28 am (UTC)Letting himself in, Arthur throws his hat at the end of the stairs and takes the steps up to his suit, knowing that's where he'll find anyone. Shoving his key in the lock, Neal enters his apartment.

"So..." He rose, facing his brother. His gaze raked over him, avoiding his ankle. "You know, for a moment I wondered if this was a set up."
no subject
Date: 2011-03-11 11:18 pm (UTC)He smiles at him briefly though, shrugging out of his jacket and hanging it up on the coatrack, "Drink?"
no subject
Date: 2011-03-12 05:26 am (UTC)Okay, so he was still proud of that and couldn't resist the small comment.
"And yes. They'll go with the ones I've already had."
no subject
Date: 2011-03-12 01:27 pm (UTC)He selects one of the finest wines he's got, looking back over at Arthur, "No, no. I couldn't do that. Peter's - well he's a friend. And I couldn't look his wife in the face knowing I'd betrayed him that way. But well done on that."
He pauses, long and thoughtful for a moment, "I need you to help me get someone else's secret. An old mentor of mine. He's hiding something from me and I want to find it out."
no subject
Date: 2011-03-12 07:23 pm (UTC)And then it gets even more bizarre. "A friend? He's a..." Arthur slid out of his suit jacket, carefully laying it over the back of a chair. "How many times did they hit you over the head during your arrest," he asked, curious and nearly deadly serious.
"What about this secret that brought me in? You have to have an idea what he's hiding, or a reason to believe he is, so what is it?"
no subject
Date: 2011-03-12 11:35 pm (UTC)Peter wanders over, hands Arthur a glass and pulls up a chair, "I need you to find the location of something for me, a U-Boat lost during the second world war. I'm trying to get to it before somebody else."
no subject
Date: 2011-03-13 01:25 am (UTC)"A U-boat? Really? I could get you a new submarine easier than finding a lost... what's on it?" He thought of the treasures thought to have been lost. The art work.
no subject
Date: 2011-03-13 03:14 pm (UTC)Taking a sip of his wine, "I'm not sure. I'd have to get in, and they rigged those things to high heaven back in the day. This job, Arthur, is dangerous. The person looking for it has already someone to get to it. Probably plenty more that I don't know about."
no subject
Date: 2011-03-13 05:14 pm (UTC)"So this person wants it, so you want it first because there has to be a reason. I'm not worried about dangerous. Beyond the dream, I'm not without resources."
no subject
Date: 2011-03-13 11:05 pm (UTC)Neal curls his hand around the stem of the wine glass, pulling a few files out from a taped box under the table. "His name is Vincent Addler. He's been running in and out of the art business for awhile."

Date: 2011-03-14 05:37 am (UTC)"So a friend or enemy in your past," he asked, blunt and to the point.
