"Cal," Tony asks as they pull into his driveway, "anybody ever told you you drive like a maniac?"

Obadiah smiles and shakes his head. "No, thank you. You're on your own."

"Good," Cal says cheerfully.

To both of them.

"Sounds like a plan."

"Cool. What time should I come by?"

Cal answers with a time that's about an hour before homeroom starts.

"Marcy's was more crowded than I thought it would be."

"Yeah, all right." He grins. "Hope nobody mistakes me for Sherry. How many times has he broken into your place, again?"

"Three."

Cal pauses, then is forced to add,

". . . that I know of."

Tony cracks up.

"I don't know why you encourage his criminal tendencies, Tony."

"Our head of security was using his break-ins as a test," Cal explains.

He skips the part where Sherlock did not actually consult with Peter at any point beforehand.

"It was helpful."

So there.

"See? He has useful criminal tendencies," Tony says proudly.

Cal smiles.

"Exactly."

"If you say so," Obadiah agrees, just indulgently enough that Tony will think he means it.

Works like a charm.
