Together In Paris

Time Flies

The years passed like lightning. Mozzie and June became even more intricate in the lives of the FBI agents. Peter, Elizabeth and Diana especially. Although peter was glad that his son liked his uncle mozzie so much, he couldn't help but be cautious. Even though neither of them ever admitted to anything, Peter was sure that Mozzie had something to do with Neal getting arrested when he was thirteen.
However, what peter didn't know was how important to Mozzie, Neal was. Any time Neal made a heist, or pickpocketed something, he left it for mozzie to fence. Neal figured out that mozzie was taking a cut of the proceedings, but assumed he was keeping it for himself. He didn't know that Mozzie had set up off shore accounts in tax havens for both Neal and Theo, in case either of them ever needed to run.
Mozzie and June had been forced to distract officers coming to arrest Theo twice, while he escaped down the alley. They'd done it for Neal even more. It was difficult for them to defend Neal from the law since his father had eyes everywhere in Manhattan, but for Theo, it was harder.
Every time he came to stay with Neal – just for the sake of staying with Neal – he sunk into a life of petty crime. As soon as Diana was around, he was the best behaved perfect son you could ever imagine.

Then came the time that Neal and Theo began their own con. A long con. They had a particular mark in mind when they thought up the idea, and they needed help. But not from Mozzie or June. They wanted this to be a surprise for them. They wanted to show the aging conmen that they were grateful for their lessons, and they would be remembered.

They needed someone who could contact their mark directly.

And then, one day, they found her.
