Chapter 1: The Beginning
The Leverage team was in New York for a con. A 16 year old girl had heard about them from friends, and had called them for help. Together with 4 of her best friends, she'd formed a band. They went to a man called Max Corwell, who promised them he'd make them famous. They had been paying him, but as it turned out, he didn't do anything. When they asked their money back, they were laughed out of the room. Hey lost all their savings, and had nothing left but their instruments. When they knew they didn't stand a chance, one of the girls remembered something about a Robin Hood-like team, so they were contacted.
The cons went quite smooth. The plan was to get a new talent to sign a contract, and take the mark down that way. Because the only 'talent' they had was Sophie, they'd need an outsider's help. Risa, the client, offered the help of her younger niece, Eri Ogawa. Eri was a decent guitarist, but she wasn't good enough for their band. Luckily, Eri was happy she could help, and accepted the offer immediately. Risa hadn't told the mark anything about her younger niece, so she'd be a perfect fit for the role. Or, so they thought. Without them knowing, the mark had rented a private detective. The detective found out about Eri's relationship with the clients, and that's why, when the leverage team arrived at a 'meeting', they were unpleasantly surprised.
"They'll come, right?" Eri asked Nate and Sophie, carefully holding her guitar. Nate nodded. "He may be a greedy bastard, but he isn't stupid. It's a normal talk about your 'contract' and the money you're supposed to get." Eri nodded, but didn't seem calmed down. Sophie smiled. "Don't worry Eri, if they've got manpower, we've always got Eliot." Eri looked up to Eliot, who grinned at her, and she sighed relieved. Impatiently, she jumped from one leg to the other. "He's late." Nate nodded, and pressed the coms. "Parker, what's your status?" "Almost finished." Parker replied. "It's a really old-fashioned safe, easy." "Okay, make it quick." Nate ordered her. "Sure thing boss." Parker grinned, and continued cracking the safe. Nate sighed, and checked his watch. Suddenly, the door to the room opened, and 2 armored men ran in. Eri shrieked in terror, and hid behind Sophie and Nate. Eliot kicked the guns out of their hand, and started fighting the men. "Eri, get out of here." Nate ordered her. Eri nodded, and ran towards the door. As she exited, they heard Hardison's voice over the coms. "Emm, guys, maybe you should get out of there. There're 3 police cars parked in front, and the cops are running into the building." Nate nodded. "Sophie, Eliot, let's go, NOW!" He shouted. They ran towards the door, and as they opened it, they faced 5 agents. The one in the front spoke first. "NYPD," "And just NY." They heared someone in the back say. The agent with short, red hair in front sighed. "NYPD, we got a call that someone was being harassed here." She peeked into the room, and saw the 2 beat-up men lying on the floor. "I've seen enough, you're under arrest, all of you."
~TBC~
A/N: OMG, did half of the leverage team just get arrested?? What kind o writer am I? And What the HELL happened to Eri?? If she's missing, I'll be killed by my best friend…… And if she's dead, she'll kill me 'till I'm DEAD. That even WORSE O_O
Anyway, I think we can all guess who NYPD and JUST NY were *eyebrowwiggle*
