Parker woke up in what felt like a moving vehicle. Her head was throbbing, and vision was slightly blurry. She figured that was caused by the head injury she most likely had. All of a sudden, whatever she was in jarred, and she cried out from the pain that shot through her side. Broken rib, she thought. She was trying to figure out what had happened and how she had got here but everything in her mind was blurry.

Eliot woke from hearing a yelp. He was quickly out of the fog, but stayed unmoving. He slowly opened his eyes. He looked around and determined that he was in the back of some sort of van. It was almost completely dark but not quite and he knew the he was in there with someone else when he heard a whimper. He sat up and looked in the direction that he had heard the noise and saw Parker, curled up in a ball.

She was in so much pain. She knew she had been in worse but that didn't make the pain go away. The jarring of the vehicle was making the pain in her side almost unbearable. But not to the point that she couldn't hear someone come up behind her.
Eliot crawled over to her. He wanted to make sure she was okay. His hand hovered above her shoulder for a second. When he touched her she jumped with a little yelp and was on the other side of the vehicle before he even realized it. He looked over to her and saw recognition wash over her face. He noticed she was shaking and looked as if she had been crying.
"Parker," he said quietly, trying to calm her down. She looked to him like she was about to start hyperventilating. "Hun, it's just me,"
"Eliot?" she said, barely audible.
"Yeah. Come here. I know you have to be in some pain." he said with deep concern in his voice.
She slowly crawled over to him. He could tell that her ribs were causing pain. She stopped in front of him and sat cross-legged. "Your ribs." he said more than asked.
"Yeah, and my head. But thats bout it." she said with a slight slur. He leaned forward, trying to inspect her head. She winced as he brushed up against the tender spot on her head. He gave an apologetic look and moved on to her ribs. She cried out when pressed in just the right spot. "I'm sorry darlin'." he said quietly, his accent showing. He looked slightly mad that he had caused her pain. She kept as quiet as possible as he did what he could with wrapping her ribs.
She was grateful when he was finished, and it felt slightly better. She laid back onto the floor but it was extremely uncomfortable. She just then realized something. "Where's the com's?" Eliot looked at her and realized that his wasn't in his ear anymore.
"They must've knew we had them," she said looking down.
"Or they got knocked out during the fighting." he validly stated.
"I don't think there is any way for Hardison to track us." she stated quietly, "Or for us to reach them. How are we supposed to even know where they're taking us?" she was starting to sound a little scared.
"We'll figure it out. They didn't use guns so if they let us out I might be able to take them."
She looked worried, "We don't know how many of them are even along. They could be in separate cars, in front of and behind of so we can't get away. You wouldn't be able to take them all."
Eliot remembered only three to four guys and he guessed that there were two in the cab. "There would only be one other car if any at all," he said after awhile.
"How can you know?" she asked.
"There were only a max of four guys, and they're not stupid enough to travel alone for safety reasons."
"But don't these guys have military training? Why would they have to travel in packs?"
"It's if one gets hurt the other ones can still finish the job. I guess you could say it's like a liability for their employers."
"Oh." she paused, "I guess that makes some sense but.."
"But what Parker?" he asked slightly irritated.
"Why would they hire them at all if they need a "just in case" back-up plan. Obviously they're not the best."
He looked at her, slightly inquisitive, and smiled, "They can't all be the best Parker."
"I know," she said in a matter a fact way. "Your the best, and your the good guy so they couldn't hire you anyways," she stated in a matter-of-fact way.
"Yeah, and there's that," he said with a chuckle. She had such a child-like nature and it could always make him smile. She looks around and things get serious.
"Eliot, how are we supposed to get out of here? Who knows where there taking us and its really just sinking in that they could be taking us somewhere just to kill us. I don't want to die, Eliot," she said the end quietly.
"I won't let them hurt you, Parker. I promise they can't hurt you." She still looked extremely scared.
All of a sudden the van they were in came to an abrupt stop. They both lurched forward. Parker cried out as the move jostled her ribs. Eliot grabbed her and held her still. They heard a door slam shut and felt the vibrations. She looked at him, scared. He put her behind him.
"Guess we're going to find out what they want." The back doors of the van swung open.
Soooo... How did I do? Of course I had to put Parkers childness in there and an Eliot smile and Protectiveness. So?.. Good, Bad, Amazing, Horrible? Tell me how I did, I really appreciate it.
