Nate held his eyes shut tight as JJ spoke to him. The knowledge that Vin was up to something potentially stupid made his head hurt more. He was confident Michaels would find him though. There was little [i]he[/i] could do right now anyway. Instead, he struggled to push himself up off the ground. His body ached and he winced in pain at the effort, only managing to get to a sitting position. He wrapped an arm around his ribs and informed JJ "Don't worry about Vincent. He'll be back in a minute...So how's [i]your[/i] day going?" His tone was casual and friendly as though he were having a conversation over the kitchen table with an old friend rather than in a jail cell.

He didn't have time to hear JJ's likely scathing response as Michaels was quickly back, shoving Vin towards a cell. As they talked, Nate pulled himself up and strolled towards the cell door. With Vin back in his cell, Michaels made his way back over towards Nate. He stopped in front of the cell in said in a hushed tone "The bag's under the desk in the next room. My guys will look the other way but not everyone. I don't have [i]that[/i] much pull around here so make it quick. You'll have five minutes at most."

Nate bobbed his head up and down and said "I can deal with that."

"I expect that file as soon as possible, Hunter." Michaels informed Nate. "Or I swear to god, I will hunt you down myself and there will be no getting out next time."

Nate made a "psshhh" sound with his teeth and responded "I get it Michaels...Kiss goodbye?"

Michaels only reached through the bars and grabbed Nate by the shirt before yanking him forwards, causing his face to slam into a bar. "Don't forget what I said, asshole." Nate stumbled backwards, holding his nose as Michaels headed for the door, yelling over his shoulder "I'll be back to question you clowns in a minute. Don't go anywhere."

Nate ran his tongue along his teeth to make sure they were all still there. Satisfied that his smile was still intact, he flashed it at JJ and Vin and informed them "He loves me really. He's just gotta make it look good for the camera." He then reached into his pocket where Michaels had fondled him a moment ago and pulled out a key, holding it up to chest height to show the others. "So, who's for a jailbreak?"

Reaching through the bars, he stuck the key in the cell lock and unlocked the door with an ease that suggested he had done it before. He quickly stepped out and had JJ's cell open just as easily. He didn't go in to check on the obviously in pain JJ. Instead he moved down the row of cells and unlocked Vin's door, saying to the other man with a smile "Admit it. You missed me."
