In the elevator: Lily's P.O.V.

"Do you have a plan for what you're going to do if he's about to see you?" Neal asks. Yep. Baked them last night. "I'll be armed with a home-made cupcake." I state. Neal laughs. "What?" I ask with a frown. "A cupcake? That's your plan?" Neal asks. He doesn't think I'm serious about this. "Yes. Throw it in his face so he doesn't see mine and on the plus side, it's delicious so he won't be as mad after. I made plenty for us to just eat too." I state. "You'd bring a cupcake to a potential gun fight if he finds you?" Neal asks. "There isn't going to be one even if he finds me thanks to the cupcake." I state, walking into the office. "What's this I hear about cupcakes?" Peter asks me.

"Lily's first weapon of choice for in case Segiel finds her is a cupcake even though she knows that he probably has a gun at his house." Neal states. "We don't want to hurt him, we just want me to follow him and it's just a precosion for him to not see my face because I'll be making it explode while it's going towards his face and he'll be too busy enjoying the cupcake to do anything. I made enough for everyone to eat." I state, opening up a box and handing them out to people. "That's the most adorable plan I've ever heard." Peter says with a smile. Seriously? "Peter don't." I state. "It's adorable." Peter teases. This is what happens when you're the youngest in the office, isn't it?

"You sure that'll be enough? A cupcake?" Peter asks with a smile. "Yes, I'm sure." I state. Seigel won't see it coming. "You're going to need more than that." Peter states. No, I won't. "If I don't have any time to get it out of my bag I'll use my fire's light to blind him temperarily." I suggest. "That makes more sense. Plan approved." Peter states. Yes! Neal looks at him shocked. That's right. I'm doing this. "Wait, you said you'd make the cupcake explode. How will you do that?" Neal asks. I take a piece of paper, crumple it into a ball, and place it down onto the floor. "You two might want to step back." I suggest. They take a big step back and I do too. I aim my hand towards it. "Explode." I order it. It explodes and everyone in the office jumps. "That's how." I state. They're in shock. I use my telekinisis to put all of it in the trash.

"I didn't know you could do that." Neal states. He didn't. "I thought you two knew that." I state. They both shake their heads no. Oh. "Oops. Sorry." I state. "It's fine." Peter states. "Here is your watch. We'll know where you are but we won't be able to hear anything so you're going to have to fill us in. Now all we have to do is wait." Peter states, handing me the watch. I slide the watch onto my wrist. "Thank you." I say to him. My phone vibrates. 'Meeting in 20 minutes. -Woodford.' The text reads. "It's Woodford. I've got a meeting in 20 minutes." I state.

20 minutes later: Lily's P.O.V.

"Hello." I greet everyone. "Hello. I have something to give you." Woodford states. I've got a bad feeling about this. "What is it?" I ask. "It's a bug." Woodford says, handing me some listening bugs. I'm telling you that to clearify that it's not an actual bug. Why he's giving me 10 and saying only one is a mystery. "Where am I putting it?" I ask. Please don't be at Neal's. "At a safehouse we found. We don't know who owns it but we know that the person who does is connected to Neal and the treasure somehow. He calls the safehouse Thursday. Sending you the cordinets now." He states. Oh crepes, he wants me to plant a bug at Mozzie's. And today's Friday so Mozzie will be there. Shiny tomatoes!

"Segiel will be outside to make sure that you get the job done. If you don't, you're out." Woodford states. No! Oh, gosh. What am I going to do? "Meet me there at 8 sharp." Segiel orders. I nod. "Eight sharp. Got it." I state.

Outside: Lily's P.O.V.

I connect to Peter and Neal. "I'm on route to Segiel's house." I say to them. "Okay." Peter responds. "Good luck." Neal wishes. "And be careful." Peter advices. "Thank you, I will." I state, disconnecting. I become small and follow him. When he's at his front door he turns around to make sure no one's followed him. Little does he know...I write down the adress. He opens the door and goes in I follow. He goes into his kitchen and hide behind the wall, growing big again. "Were you followed?" I hear a non-familiar voice say on the phone. "No, I wasn't followed." Segiel responds. Who's the person he's talking to? "I heard that the FBI is still looking for me. Do they have any leads?" I hear the person on the other side of the phone ask.
