Neal dashed into the underground parking, relief flooding his being as he saw Elizabeth in Peter's arms. The relief settled in his knees; he sank abruptly to the concrete floor, his gaze on the agents hauling Keller away, and on Peter and El. Few of the excited, milling agents noticed him at first, but Diana sidled over to him, a tight smile on her lips. She held out a hand but Neal waved it away. Even with a hand up he feared he'd just embarrass himself by collapsing again. He gave Diana a weak smile to keep her from worrying about him

The urgent care staff put El on a converted examining bed in a tiny temporary room that barely fit both Peter and Hughes, standing, as there wasn't room for a chair. Though Reece was determined not to leave Peter alone, he had to spend a good deal of time out in the hospital atrium on his phone. El was breathing pure oxygen for anxiety. Peter held her hand and watched the sedative take hold. Alone with her while she dozed, Peter took ten quiet minutes to feel how lucky and grateful he was and how much he loved her.

Already distressed and exhausted, within minutes he was bored. Unless he could use them in a con, Neal paid little attention to sports, and football was at the bottom of the list of things he might be interested in. A game of brute force where the winner one week was the loser the next. Even a championship wasn't something anyone could keep; someone else would win it the next year. While he could understand why someone would play in a sport-the thrill of competition, the fun of outwitting-he had no idea what fans got out of it at all
