Alright so probably a super random thing and this is just a preview so let me know what you think and if you want more :D
Disclaimer: I don't own Leverage… Damn…
"I just didn't know what I was doing. I was drunk, very very drunk. My judgment was rather impaired. But I married him and now he's stealing all my money so I can't care for my daughter and somehow I lost my job, and I think he had something to do with it," the rather shaken up brunette explained to Nate.
"How long has this been going on?" Sophie's soft British tone replied.
"About two months I guess," she said shaking her head. "Please you have to help me, my daughters medical expenses and too much for me to handle without a job."
"We'll get you that money back," Nate said putting his hand over the woman's.
Sophie couldn't help but feel slightly jealous at this motion.
Unfortunately she was amazing at hiding her feelings from him. That kiss meant a lot to her, but she didn't let people in easily.
'I need to work on this' Sophie thought.
"Alright, we got Alfred Hugh. Poor guy, with a name like that…"
"Hardison," Nate cut him off.
"Sorry man, just sayin'. As I was saying before you so rudely interrupted, with a name like that he was bound to inherit some major money," Hardison said clicking a button on his remote to bring up files and pictures.
"If he was coming into money, then why did he have to take it?" Elliot questioned.
"Cause when his dad died, Joe Hugh, he left everything to Alfred's younger brother. Something tells out target has daddy issues," he laughed.
Parker joined in for who knows why.
"Daddy issues? Well I can make that work to my advantage," Sophie said, already concocting a plan in her head.
Nate glanced over at her, she really was beautiful.
'Focus Nate' he told himself.
No matter how many times that thought goes through his head he can never stop thinking about the Brit sitting right next to him.
"So let me guess," she started again. "He wanted to get rich quick to prove to his brother that he's better than him or something sad and slightly pathetic like that?"
"Exactly. Damn that's faster than you usually figure out these guys," Hardison retorted.
"Personal experience with this one," she said looking down.
A heavy silence filled the room. No one dared continue in on that subject.
"What's the plan Nate," Parker chipped in.
She may not have been 'normal' but she knew when a subject needed to be changed or the mood of the room needed to be lightened.
Nate thought for a moment. He knew this would be hard for Sophie.
She had broken up with her previous boyfriend because he'd become insane with the need for money after his parents left him out of their will.
"Well it says there that he owns a nightclub. That's our way in," he said standing up and walking in front of the team.
Turning to face them he said, "Let's go steal a nightclub."
He proceeded to exit, along with Hardison, Elliot, and Parker.
This left Sophie there alone, though she didn't mind. She just needed a moment to gather her thought's before she go into this.
