I was long shipping EAMES+ARTHUR+NEAL to be a family of three since another fanfic call “SKYBIRD”. After watching SKYFALL, I discovered Q should also be one of Arthur’s sons. Therefore, it becomes a fandom series of EAMES+ARTHUR+NEAL+Q, a family of four.

BEST THIEF by Ned
SUMMARY:
The day when EAMES & NEAL first met.
Danny Brooks loved to hang around the pool hall The Kicker’s Club. Every since his 9th birthday, he went there nearly every day. The pool hall was nothing special, and it was quite the rundown too. But Danny loved to go there because he thought it was cool. He would imagine himself as one of those classy gangsters or cops in the fifties, climbing up as a big shot to rule the city. Men there were found of Danny as well, taught him the best tricks and let him have a sip of their beer. Adult there were more approving than his teachers at school and way more interesting than his classmates.
It wasn’t till one day in mid November, Danny met a man who changed his life. Changing his life was really a way too dramatic way of saying, but it was half true.
Danny was self-teaching the skill of pick-pocket at that time, and decided to try on this man walking pass the street.
He looked like a tourist and was talking on his phone. The man had a thick British accent. A thick brown wallet was sticking out of his right pocket of his trench coat, and Danny though ‘why the hell not’ and decided to teach this tourist a lesson about taking care of your things in a foreign place.
A bunch of boys were just hanging by and fooling around. Danny blended in with the group. After a while he headed for the tourist’s direction and picked up his pace. He intentionally bumped into the tourist and yelled a muffled ‘Sorry!’, then ran away.
The foreigner didn’t even pay much attention to the kid. Little did he know Danny grabbed for that big fat wallet of his. Yet, little did Danny know that this tourist was not ordinary man.
By the time Danny got to the Kicker’s Club, he was out of breath. He checked the tourist’s wallet out and found money from all sorts of countries in it.
‘Holy shit,’ he breathed out, then took the money out of the wallet and began stuffing it in his pockets. Then he found that his phone was not where it should be. He searched all his pockets and even his hoodie but it was nowhere to be found.
Danny panicked. Just as he was thinking of solutions he heard the same deep, British voice saying, ‘Hey kid, looking for this?’
Danny turned around and saw the tourist grinning at him with his full lips and crooked teeth. His thick stubble made him look shady as fuck. And then he saw the man holding his phone. Danny reached out to grab it but the man quickly held it out of his reach.
‘Now, now, calm down. How about we exchange? You know what you got from me.’
Danny glared and grumbled. He took out the wallet he stole and handed to the man. The man took the wallet and handed Danny the phone. Danny grabbed it and checked did he get any miss calls from his mother. The phone was turned off. The batteries were taken away.
Just when Danny was about to protest, the man said ‘Give me the rest of what you took and I’ll give you the rest of your phone.’
Danny stuffed his hand into his pockets and grabbed all the bills out. The man chuckled and gave his batteries back to him.
‘Nice try. One tip about picking pockets: use only your index and middle finger. Your thumb gets in the way and is easily noticed. That’s all.’ The man laughed and ruffled Danny’s hair then turned away and left the pool hall.
Danny huffed and turned around, only to find that the whole pool hall was staring at them. The men laughed so hard Danny blushed in embarrassment and pulled his hoodie to hide his face.
‘That’s Eames for you. Best thief around.’
