Original Prompt:Neal runs for a reason that Peter understands but the judge doesn't, and he's sent back for life with parole. In prison the second time, when everyone knows he's been working for the Feds, he gets really messed up. He gets turned out and passed around and brutally abused for the first year or so. After a while, he realizes the only way he'll survive is to pair up with someone, so he has a series of questionable "protectors ( ... )

Peter'd bought his freedom.
But he shouldn't have.
He left the printout on Peter's desk, carefully opened and closed the office door behind him, went to the men's room, punched the wall until his knuckles bled, and waited for the work day to end.
