   Summary

   Peter always found Neal. Except when he didn’t. Neal takes comfort in that when a woman long forgotten from his past comes back and kidnaps him. Eventually Neal truly realizes that Peter wasn’t coming. That Peter wasn’t going to save him this time. Meanwhile Peter and Mozzie cannot seem to forgive themselves for failing Neal and stop at nothing to find him. When Neal gets back he has to pick up the pieces of his shattered life and rebuild.

   Lots of angst, lots of hurt, lots of comfort. A lot of validation of feelings. Whole chapters dedicated to Peter and Neal discussing Neal's post-trauma feelings.
