Neal hadn't gone back to the FBI headquarters with Peter after their mission, he told the man he had a few other things that he needed to do. Which wasn't technically a lie, he just hadn't been entirely forthcoming about just what those things were, considering he knew just how his handler would feel about the situation. So he kept it to himself and went back to June's place though when his phone rang he answered it, surprised to hear Peter telling him that they needed to go over some evidence.
"Peter, are we really that popular?" he asked in his usual light hearted manner. "Just solved one case and already being handed another? Well alright, I'll be there in a few." Closing the phone and slipping it back into his pocket Neal got to his feet and made his way to the door, grabbing his hat and jacket as he left.

Elizabeth Burke hadn't really been raised in a household where corporal punishment was commonplace but after being with Peter for all these years she knew that he was a firm believer in it and that he employed that method with his CI Neal, who was like an overgrown kid at times. The idea to start using that method on her husband hadn't entered into her mind until he'd done something that could have ended up with him seriously hurt or even killed and that had been the last straw as far as she was concerned.
So she'd taken a page out of his book and given him a good spanking.
Which was exactly what he was in for today as well, the woman talking to Jones for a short time and then making her way to the Bureau to deal with her husband's bad choice. When she arrived she made her way to the conference room where she knew that he'd be waiting for her, the woman nodding to those that she passed and then pausing in the doorway to look at her husband.
"Do you have anything you'd like to say to me Peter?" she asked, her voice and expression stern but there was also that trace of concern and the obviously loving look that went along with it to make it a somewhat odd mixture.
