Peter would never admit this to Neal.

But the conman was one of the hardest criminals to catch in the history of the FBI. The James Bonds case was the one that made Peter's career. It took three years to catch him.

Grandpa Caffrey on the other hand...

Grandpa Caffrey was not leaving.

He left with Neal in a cab and the next day the CI showed up for work as usual, but then a few hours later the old man pretty much teleported next to Neal's desk when they blinked.

Every damn time they managed to escort him out of the building, Caffrey Senior was already up before they got out of the elevator.

The guards outside the building were ordered not to let him in. The agents working in the lobby were tasked to keep an eye out for the Caffrey Houdini that kept showing up. There were two interns purposely placed to monitor the security cameras looking for so much as a shadow of a top hat.

And yet...

And yet –

Grandpa Caffrey was everywhere.

He was tripping feds with his cane, moving around with paperwork in his hands, somehow always turning around and 'accidentally' whacking agents over the head with, until everyone learned to part ways when he was walking.

He kept giving Jones etiquette lessons and Peter headaches. He wouldn't stop flirting with Diana, much to her amusement.

Nobody knew he was looking through classified case files until he was yelling 'They did it wrong again, Nile!'.

He wouldn't stop stealing Peter's coffee and then complain about it.

He snuck inside an interrogation room with a suspect. By the time they realized what was happening, the suspect was crying and admitting everything they've ever done down to the last lunch money theft in primary school.

But Peter put his foot down when, a week after dealing with two Caffreys, he came home to his wife, laughing with the Devil Grandpa.

Next morning Peter got to June's half an hour earlier.

"He's got to GO."

Neal looked at him amused.

"I'm afraid removing him from anywhere is not a one-man job."

"Get it done or I'm throwing you back in prison."

Neal snorted.

"It's like telling me to move the sun or something. I can't do it alone. Either you learn to live with him around (which I would love to see), you and the FBI manage to make him stop (unlikely) or I call some people in and you close your eyes for the next... " Jason did a quick math. "Three days."

Peter didn't even hesitate.

"As long as nobody dies and your tracker is still on, you have permission for anything."

Jason grinned.

Any other time Peter would have been terrified. Now he was just desperate.

He watched Neal take out a phone that did not look like the one approved by the FBI, and type a few things in.
