No Man's land
***********************
Days had been passing in a whim lately. They were finishing case after case and trying to make
bureau look as good as it was physically and logically possible. These days were filled with all
kinds of undercover, paper, leg and research work.
Neal missed old days, a bit. Not that he didn't appreciate this brand new life with lots of fancy
stuff and supposedly easier daily routine.
But it would be lied if he told this was best that could've happened.
On contrary, it the only thing that could happen. And there was no reason to try and look back at
what else could've been done to prevent such happenings.
Yes, life in future wasn't something Neal had ever imagined himself. He was usually the one to
relive past, not exactly to fantasize about that far future.
But here they were. Year 2121. Impossible, one would think.
One day it's 2011 the next 2121. As if the world suddenly decided to skip a millennium.
And, on one hand, it was, on the other hand, how you were supposed to fit in when everything
makes you feel like an outcast.
And Peter's "cowboy up" was starting to loose any power it used to have because, really, how it

Neal stopped calling himself con-man. Not that he wasn't, he was, still. But it was just too weird.
With all these future people. Sometimes he wondered if they were missing something. Like a bit

And those who still preferred 'ancient' way had nearly bubble shaped cars that were moving due
to solar energy or some indescribable nuclear kind of energy that was more for Mozzie's brain to
decipher than Neal's to understand.
Peter was okay with this 'new' life. He had nice home, ecological car that drove itself more than
Taurus had and he still had his wife and dog. Oh yes, he also still had his CI and even the same
job. Most of people were the same around him.
Neal had his CI position, which made him wonder what was this Earth-like planet again, and a
new anklet. He knew June and Mozzie was somewhere around, he had heard Alex hadn't been
left behind and that Sara was also there. And that was basically all information he had been able to
scratch together.
The living wasn't bad. Food was a bit of a challenge though. At least coffee was doing its
supposed effects and could be even adjusted in taste.
The new anklet was something that surprised Neal. It had different shape- it was thin. And soft.
Almost like a rubber bracelet. It had a soft material on the inside and something metal-like on
