Nate and Peter stared at each other, calm exteriors belying their mile-a-minute strategizing about the sudden arrival of these new and formidable-seeming opponents; Neal and Sophie did their grifter version of the same, flirtatious smiles revealing just the right amount of threat to send a message, while Diana and Eliot less subtly moved into stances for some expected hand-to-hand, and Hardison did his best to surreptitiously get to his phone to find out every piece of information produced about them since the day of their birth.

Parker just started jumping up and down excitedly, saying "Mozzie!!!"

Everyone turned to look at Mozzie, who shrugged and introduced them, "Feds, this is an upright citizen who has never committed a crime and is definitely not allegedly the best thief in the world - no offense, Neal - and also she's like a younger sister to me - I mean a truly terrifying younger sister who likes jumping off buildings way too much - but regardless, she is 100% off limits for arrest and/or conversion to being a Fed, and Parker, these are some Feds who are actually not terrible, but of course I'm judging by Fed standards - anyway, now that I've blown everyone's cover, can we please just admit we're all here to take down an arms dealer and get to it?"
