The Nightingale ch 25White Collar: The Nightingale

Chapter Twenty-five

Neal sat in the corner of his eight by twelve home with his back against the wall. The small bed built into the wall that he was sitting on was only marginally more comfortable than the floor. With his knees pulled up to his chest he worked on a small paper origami crane. Pouring all of his concentration into each fold he created a perfect bird. He inspected his work with little actual interest in it.

Tossing the tiny origami onto the floor he picked up another sheet of paper off the bed and started another one. The floor was littered with the discarded paper birds. Finishing anothe

Neal paced the ER waiting room anxiously. He had reopened the wounds in his side but he had made it more than clear that he wasn't about to let anyone touch him. Paramedics had taken Peter into OR less than ten minutes ago. They had been unable to stabilize Peter on the ride to the hospital and his condition had continued to spiral downward.

Riding in the ambulance Neal had retold the story to the medics to help them determine what was wrong. Beyond coughing up an alarming quantity of blood Peter's heart was arrhythmic and his blood pressure dropped to the point where he could not lon

"Peter, we have to do something."

"Stay behind me."

Neal silently agreed and fell in step behind Peter. For the first time he wished he had a gun so that they could flank Liao. Unarmed he was more likely to be in the way than any sort of help if a fire fight broke out. Peter flicked the safety off his own weapon and carefully made his way towards the men's voices.

Despite the chilly autumn night Neal noticed that the back of Peter's neck was slick with sweat. He had never known his friend to sweat under pressure. Combined with his clearly labored breathing Neal started to worry

"Peter? You alright?"

"Fine." Peter said as he rubbed at his chest. "Just sore from the shot, you got me dead center."

"I wanted to make sure that I got the jacket and not you."

"And I appreciate that." Peter looked Neal over. "How about you? Is that my 'blood' or yours?"

Neal looked down at the shiny stain on his black shirt. Lifting the shirt up he revealed the badly seeping bandage beneath.

"Looks like it's mine."

"You need to go back to the hospital."

"We need to keep on Liao's tail. I have a spare set of bandages and a clean shirt in the van."

"No..." Peter was

The Nightingale ch 21Chapter twenty-one

The next evening all of Chinatown was in the streets celebrating. Neal wasn't exactly sure what they were celebrating, but it involved a lot of bright costumes, food, and fireworks. Neal did his best to keep from attracting attention to himself by wearing black pants with a matching silk shirt. However there were not many non-Asians at the festival which did earn him the occasional stare.

Neal held his jacket casually in his hand with the Nightingale katana concealed inside. Getting the sword had not been easy, and if everything didn't go perfectly tonight Neal knew he risked losing everything. Taking a deep breath to cal

*NatsumeWolf Jan 16, 2013

~Phoenix-Cry Jan 16, 2013

They are *so* hard to find with feet and bottom jaw. If you are serious about it I have one soruce that occationally has them. It will be 450$ for a full plush with blue eyes. let me know and I'll see if he has any.

*NatsumeWolf Jan 16, 2013

only 450 ? damn!! I'd love to hear more.

~Phoenix-Cry Jan 16, 2013

350$ of that is the pelt. I dont charge much for the actual taxi. I will ask my guy if he has any.

*NatsumeWolf Jan 16, 2013

oh forgot to ask, do you accept checks? Because all i have is cash so I usually give it to my grandfather and he writes out the check to be sent out. I can get a tracking number too for the check.
So just let me know when you can.

Okay thank you

let me know as soon as you get word.

~Phoenix-Cry Jan 20, 2013

He has one arctic, very nice. More than that it has been skinned and tanned for taxidermy rather than garment so the finished product will be a LOT better. Main problem is that fur prices have gone up. To have just the head mounted will be 550$ (that price clearly includes the pelt). this one could be traditional mounted which I would do for 550-600, depending on pose. A traditional mount of one of these guys would be awesome. Anyway, let me know. I'd need a 50% downpayment (to help me afford the pelt).
