RMX: I don't own Leverage.
Parker sighed, getting out of the elevator from the end of their latest job in Virginia. Sophie, Alec and Eliot were close behind. She watched an armored truck role by and frowned, longing for the past.
Sure, she loved helping people! But...when was the last time she'd really broken into someone's safe? When was the last time she had stolen from the office building of someone important? When was the last time she'd shushed the governor's daughter while stealing her mother's jewelry?
Alec noticed. "Hey, you alright?" he asked.
Eliot looked over, acting like he wanted to make a comment, but kept to himself.
"Yeah..." Parker muttered. "I'm fine. Why wouldn't I be?"
Eliot raised an eyebrow. "You just seem a little more antsy than usual..."
"She's probably just reminiscing the days she was being dishonest in a dishonest manner..." Sophie said as they exited the building.
Parker shrugged. "I guess..." she said. "It just doesn't seem like I've actually done some real thievery lately!!!" She sighed.
Eliot looked down the road, kind of understanding. He still got to beat the crap out of random idiots, but he still didn't always get to do his worst. But he shrugged. "That's life..." he mumbled.
Alec shrugged. His life hadn't been that affected. He still made trades online based on their jobs, and went to conventions. "Hey, it could be a lot worse," he said. "We could all be in jail."
Eliot shrugged. "Or we could be at an opera with one of the Italian mob families."
Alec stared. "...Do I want to know?" he asked.
"Probably not until you've had a few dozen beers..."
Parker snickered a little before stopping, and staring.
Eliot looked at what she was staring at. "...Parker, what are you thinking?" he grinned.
Sophie frowned. "Don't do it..." she sighed.
Alec looked at them in amusement. "Don't discourage her…" he remarked.
Parker just grinned, before walking over to Nate's Tesla Roadster with her lock picks.
Eliot just grinned, and ran around to the other side of the car and waiting for the car to unlock before rolling down the top.
"I don't support this!" Sophie exclaimed.
"I do!!!" Alec said, jumping into the middle seat before Parker slid into the driver's seat and bent down to start hotwiring the vehicle.
"C'mon Soph," Eliot said. "You sure you don't wanna tag along?"
"Very!" Sophie said. "I mean-you're stealing Nate's car!"
"Suit yourself," Parker said, sitting back up as the engine revved.
Sophie sighed and backed away.
"Should we be doing this?" Eliot mumbled, raising an eyebrow.
"Do you really want me to answer that?" Parker asked.
"Not really," he shrugged.
Alec grinned and plugged in an iPod as they sped off. "So, where are we goin'?"
"I don't know," Parker said. "Any suggestions?"
"We could always head to Canada," Eliot tried.
Alec stared.
"What? They've got the best waffles..."
"If I wanted waffles, I'd go somewhere locally..." Alec said.
"C'mon you two," Parker sighed. "Why don't we go somewhere like the Grand Canyon? Or the Hoover Dam?"
"Parker," Eliot sighed. "Are you planning on jumping off the edge of either one?"
"...Maybe..." Parker mumbled, speeding past a red light.
"...Whatever..."
Parker grinned. "Whoo!!!" she cheered. "TO VEGAS-OR THE GRAND CANYON!!!"
Alec snickered, and lurched to the side as they turned a sharp corner. "Gah-you really know how to drive, girl..."
Parker giggled. "Thanks...You need a good getaway strategy when there are fifteen police cars following you, you know."
Eliot laughed.
End.
RMX: Probably not what some of you were expecting from the update on my Hotel's story, but this is the first chapter.
Sophie: Nate is going to be so upset…
RMX: Exactly-but that's for a later chapter. Anyway, if you wanted a one chapter fic with Parker stealing the car and everyone else freaking out, I'm working on that too. But I'd love for you to enjoy the randomness of this story. Anyway, Review!
