Author's Note ~ Written after a friend challenged me. One for each character, and one for the team. Set in season 2.

With smooth feline grace,
strong limbs fluid and controlled.
Anger unrestrained.

He is an artist.
Ones and zeroes are his paint,
the world his canvas.

Days, nights blur. Bitter
whiskey soaked fog is better
than a father's grief.

Lies on crimson lips,
the smiles are just paint that
hides a fractured soul.

Nimble fingers coax.
Safes and locks are simple. It's
people that are hard.

Alone, they struggle.
Together -- strong and solid.
Family of thieves.
