White Collar - "Saving Grace In The Eye Of The Storm" (1/2)

Title: Saving Grace In The Eye Of The Storm (1/2)
Author: TeeJay
Genre: Gen
Characters/Pairings: Neal, Peter, Elizabeth
Written for: anonymous for collarcorner Prompt Fest Round 9
Prompt/Request: Hurricane Irene
Would like: Hurricane Irene hits NYC and Neal is caught up in the carnage. Hurt and alone, will Peter find him in time? Will Peter risk going against orders by entering the mandatory evacuation zone to find Neal? Would like both the rescue and recovery to be included (parental Peter and Elizabeth looking after their surrogate son especially appreciated!). H/C all the way!
Don't Want: anything overly romantic
Rating: PG-13
Warning: Neal!Whump (because I'm sadly addicted) and more or less vague-ish spoilers to things happening in season 3
Summary: Hurricane Irene nears New York City, and Neal has to go out there and run an errand. In the wrong place at the wrong time, Neal is suddenly trapped in the middle of a raging storm.
