on his being reserved at project gemini and continued existence at paradisa

Fantastic. You're kidnapping me again.

Oh, no even better -- you're cloning me.

[can we say not pleased? because he's extremely not pleased]

I understand that as far as my life is concerned, New York is really the last place I should be, and that I'm supposed to be running, but Minneapolis? And more to the point, a Minneapolis I'm stuck in? This doesn't exactly sound like a stellar plan.

I'm aware that Peter's going. While that is a step up from my castle situation, I'm not sure that he wants to be there any more than I do. Especially without Elizabeth.

[a long beat]

And did you say there's going to be dinosaurs?

Yeah. I really think I'm going to have to pass.

Now, can we possibly talk about changing my loss?

She showed up in Minneapolis, was around for a little while, and then disappeared completely, as if she was never there. There's no body, she's not in the hospital -- you have to admit, Peter, it's a little suspicious.

So you go there to figure it out? What's the angle?

I'm concerned for my friend's well-being?

[He frowns. Exhaling through his nose.]

Alright. Where was she staying at?

The Pollux. The same hotel everyone stays in when they first arrive here.

[tries not to seem too eager, but ... yay. They have something to work on]

Everyone? What's so special about the place?

Free board? For some reason, you get a roof over your head for a month before you're expected to become a productive member of society.

Who owns the place? [His search of the Pollux has pulled up the star related to the twins Gemini, a hotel in Switzerland, and a floating cafe in Amsterdam.]

If they're endorsing a free ride, they might be the way to finding out who's pulling their strings.

From what I understand they've tried. Whoever sponsored our weary wanderers paid cash, and ownership has a lot of cloak and dagger around it.

Cloak and dagger. Not words I like hearing. [He frowns again.]

Wait, how many people are we talking about here?

Almost forty.

Sounds like a small human trafficking ring.

All the more reason to get in there and figure out who's behind it, don't you think?

I'm still not sure on this. Jones and Diana won't be there, we won't have the back-up we're used to having.

El... I'll lose El. [He does NOT like the sound of that.]

I hear there's a passionate lady cop who will probably be more than happy to fill in for Diana and Jones.

[a pause because there isn't an El replacement]

You won't lose her. You'll just ... be separated for a little while.

After the last time, Neal - I'm not sure how comfortable I am with being separated from her.

Even for a little while.

Hey, you'll know that she's safe and sound. And the sooner we get the case solved, the sooner you can get back to her.

Don't think I didn't hear you say the word 'stuck' up there. How long have you been in that castle?

[a bit of a pause]

A year and change? But those are completely different circumstances.

[The exhale that comes from him is paired with a sound. It's not a good sound.]

And once more we're back to me not really believing you.

This particular situation doesn't involve a sentient sadistic castle. It's just people.

People we can beat.

And you're already using the term 'we' so you've just decided that I'm going too.

Are you really going to let me go alone?

[That's cheating, Neal.]

No.

[cheating is kind of what he does best]

We can do this, Peter.
