See, these types of problems are exactly why I haven't pursued a life of crime. =)

Good story! I love Alex so seeing a story centered around her is a treat.

*snerk*

I love how mercenary Alex ultimately is. She's so black and white, too. I don't think she'd ever strive for a normal life like Neal seems to be. I think she really does love her career. Just, you know, every job sucks from time to time.

Stories like this make me like her so much more! You've really three dimensionalized her for me. I think I like her more on her own. It's when she gets around Neal (how that's written on the show) that I get squirrelly about her characterization and she seems to devolve into perpetually flirtatious. I would LOVE to see one of these women just turn their nose up at Neal Caffrey for once. ;-)

You rock the single ladies. Thanks!!!

Thanks! I really like Alex and her whole attitude. I think she only flirts with Neal because she's after something. And he does the same with her. I still think there were sexy!times after that pool scene in Out of the Box.

My eyes! My eyes!

No, I'm sure they did. ;-) I'm just too much of an OTPer to get off on it. I wanted Peter in that pool so bad! LOL!! But even my fic brain couldn't come up with a good enough reason for him to be there. Pool maintenance???

Still, I really like how you write Alex. So thanks for that! :-)

Ooo. I like it that it's not even a sloppy anywhere would notice or care about. I like Alex's reserve on judgment.

And I definitely like the window into her being a thief, training for it. We don't get enough of that in the show, clinging to buildings, building up their bodies. That was sexy in a way.

Thanks! I figure Alex has to have a certain discipline to do what she does, so was exploring that in this story.
