"Okay, so the target is William Benjiam Jacobs, owner of a multi billion company he is being looked at for tax evasiven and world-wide laudering by the FBI."
"Why are we going after this guy?" Asked Parker "Yeah, looks like the Feds have it handled." Said Lindsey. "Because a old friend of Hardison asked for help."
"Where is Hardison?" asked Sophie "Right here." "Hardison. What did your friend need help with." Hardison looked at his team and said "She asked for help because he came to her house and threatened her." "What did he threaten her with?" asked Sophie. "She knows enough that could put him away for life. So he decided to threaten to take her kid away from her." Hardison explained. "Let's go take down a bad guy" Nate said

"There's the target" Lindsey looked over at said target "He's talking to someone. Hardison, who is that?" "That would be Charlie. She's the friend."
"How's it going Parker?" asked Hardison "I've almost got it. I'll be out in a minute."

Hardison couldn't help but stare at the computer screen in shock. Parker walked into the room and asked why Hardison looked like someone murdered his puppy. Hardison looked up and said "Get everyone in here. Now." Parker walked out and got everyone in the room.
"Hardison, what's going on?" asked Nate as he walked into the room. "Look at this." he pulled up some very graphic photo's. There were people of both sexes
females, males. Ages ranging from 20 to 67, all of them tied up and looking like they hadn't eaten properly in weeks, most of them beaten and all of them looking horrible. "Oh God" "Hardison what is this?" demaned Nate. "This is what was on our multi billionaire's computer." replied Hardison "We knew he was shady, but I didn't think he was this shady." said Lindsey. Even Parker looked horrifed. "We need to take this bastard out. Now."

"Everybody know your parts?" asked Nate "We can't afford any mistakes. Sophie."
"I'll seduce the bad guy and Eliot will be waiting in the room for us to get there and then he will knock him out. We got it Nate." "Okay. Hardison will be watching the room from here. Parker will be doing what Parker does best and that's stealing the documents we need to put him away for life. Got it you two?" asked Nate
"We got it." said Parker and Hardison. "And I will be watching Charlie and the kid to make sure he doesn't get to them." said Lindsey. Charlie looked around at the people who were willing to protect her and her baby.

"Oh, Your too sweet. Do you want to take this party somewhere more private?" asked Sophie seduceingly. Oh, I would like that very much. Let me show you my private room." "Eliot get ready they're on their way." said Nate. "Got it." Eliot was more than ready to take this bastard down. Once and for all.
"Where are you going?" Hardison vioce cut through the line. "What's wrong Hardison?" "He's not going Eliot's way, in fact he's going in the opposite direction." Eliot growled and started to move when "You really think some pretty girl is going to distract me? I noticed the moment you and your crew stept foot in this city what you were here to do." "What are you talking about?" "Your not very good at your job now are you? My boys are already at Charlie's house. So the question is, how well is Charlie and her baby protected?" "Lindsey"

Lindsey looked up when he heard movement "It's just me." Charlie said as she walked into the living room. "The kid asleep?" Lindsey asked "Yeah, he usually goes down without a fight." Charlie anserwerd. Lindsey was about to ask a question when he heard his phone go off "Hello?" "Lindsey you need to get Charlie out of there." "Hardison, what's wrong?" "They're on their way to you now. You need to got out of there. Now!" Lindsey looks out the window just as 2 black SUV's pulled up. "It's to late Hardison. They're here." he turned to Charlie, handed her the phone and said "Go upstairs, get your son, and hide."
Lindsey pulled out his gun and hunkered down to wait and just as they came through the door, shot 2 in the arm and another in the chest. He ran upstairs when he heard Charlie scream. There was a big burly guy pointing a gun a her. Just as he was about to shoot, Lindsey shot him instead. "Run, Now!" she took off with her son in her arms. Lindsey followed after to make sure she got out. Right as she was clear something hit him in head and his vison went black.

Now
All Lindsey saw when he woke up was black and he couldn't move his hands. As he tried to remember what happened he heard a door open. A familiar voice said "Hello. It's nice to see you again."
Lindsey just couldn't help himself "Can't say the same, 'Cause you know I kinda can't see anything and I'm kinda tied up. Otherwise I'd shake your hand. So forgive me for not saying the same."
"Oh of course. Here." Lindsey jerked when he felt hands on his face, the guy just pulled off the blindfold and Lindsey saw the
guys for the first time. "Where are my manners? I'm William Benjiam Jacobs." Lindsey could have laughed "Manners? I'm tied to a ceiling and less than a minute ago I was blindfolded. You having manners is laughable." He felt it was worth the punch he got. "You keep mouthing off you'll get worse than that."
"Who are you?" "I'm the Easter Bunny." Another punch this time in the gut. He felt his breathe leave him. "Who are your teamates?" "Eat shit and die."
Lindsey got another punch to the gut. "I'll ask are your teamates?" Lindsey spit out blood at the guys feet "That is all you will get from
me. So go to hell." Lindsey felt his rib break "Enough! Leave us." The big guy left "Maybe you'll be more reasonable later. I will be back"
When he left Lyndsey looked around the room for the first time. He saw that the walls were white, there was one door, there were no windows, there was a huge bucket of water. He felt sick, he knew what that was for.

Three days later
Hardison couldn't help but flinch when Eliot walked by, he has been growling at everyone since Lindsey went missing.
"Three days. Three days Hardison and you still haven't found where they have him?" Hardison jumped when Eliot growled "I'm trying but it's not like they have a database where they keep this informason. Okay? So quite jumping down my back, 'cause it's making me nervous and I don't work well when I'm
nervous." Hardison said turing back to his computers. Eliot sighed "I'm sorry. It's just... who knows what they're doing to him." "I know Eliot, but we'll find him. Okay? We will find him."

Lindsey couldn't breath, he couldn't open his mouth cause that would let the water in and that would drown him. They pulled him up, as he was gasping for breathe he heard the same thing he'd been hearing for three days "Are you ready to talk now? Hm. Are you finally going to tell me where your friends are?" "Go.. To.. Hell! I'm not telling you anything!" Lindsey growled out. "Fine then. Boys, you know what to do." He said as he left the room. They smirked as they pulled him to his feet and put him back on the hook. Lindsey bit his lip to keep from screaming when they hit him with the whip and when that didn't get a reaction they brought out the hammer. "You're going to talk. One way or another" Big and Burly pulled him of the hook and tied him to the chair in the middle of the room. One of them put his hand on the table as the other one brought the hammer down on his hand. Lindsey couldn't help but scream.

"I think I found him!" Everyone's heads came up as soon as the words were out of Hardison's mouth.
"Where?" Nate asked. Sophie grabbed the keys and tossed them to Parker as Hardison rattled off an adress. "Parker, you're driving." Sophie said.
"Let's go get boy-wonder back." growled Eliot.

Lindsey didn't even bother lifting his head when the door opened. "Where is your team?" asked Jacobs. Lindsey didn't even bother anwsering. They were going to torture him either way. "What, lost your nerve?" mocked Jacobs "Finally realize your friends arn't coming?" Lindsey lifted his head and glared at Jacobs "Go to hell." and spit at him. Right when Jacobs lifted his hand. The door was flung open and the sounds of fighting was heard. "They got past security and they
on the way here." "Looks like they came for you after all. Too bad it's too late." he said as he took the gun from the guard and shot him. All Lindsey felt was pain.

Eliot finally made it to the room Hardison said Lindsey was in, and there he was tied to a chair and bleeding out fast. "Lindsey!" Eliot cried out as he rushed to his brother. "Eliot?" came the weak replie "Yeah. I'm right here." Eliot said as he finally untied him. "Come on. We gotta go. Can you walk?" Eliot asked as he helped his brother up. "I think so, gonna need help though." "Come on, Linds." Eliot said as he started walking. They finally reached outside when Lindsey collapsed. "Lindsey! Nate! I need help over here. Now!" Eliot yelled. Nate came running over "We need to get him to a hospitial. Now!"
When the doctors took Lindsey into surgery Eliot couldn't help but think about the last time he saw Lindsey in the hospitial after Lorne shot him. Nate, Sophie, and Hardison sat next to him and just sat there. They were all hoping he came back, even if only so Eliot didn't kill everyone. Parker just walked up to him and sat down on his lap and said "He'll be okay Eliot."
Angel/Leverage
Lindsey woke up to blackness again, for a brief moment he thought he was still in that white room. Then he heard "He's going to be fine Eliot." "How could possibly know that Parker? He's been like this for 3 days." "Because if he's anything like the Lindsey we got to know, then he will be fine." That was a different voice, who was that? Hardison? Lyndsey let out a groan. "Lindsey?" Lindsey forced his eyes open and the first thing he saw was Eliot, Parker and Hardison.
"Hey, what'd I miss?"
Angel/Leverage
"How's Charlie and her kid doing?" Lindsey asked "We're fine, and the kids name is Leon, learn to use it." Charlie said as she walked in. "Charlie! I didn't know you were here. When did you get here?" Hardison asked while hugging her. "Just now. Hey can you give us a minute?" Charlie asked "Yeah sure. Why don't Leon and I go and get some food?" "Thanks Alec." and with that they left the room. Charlie turned towards Lindsey "I'm so sorry. You got hurt protecting me and Leon and..." "Stop it Charlie. It wasn't your fault. It was Jacobs's fault not yours, okay?" he said with such finality that Charlie couldn't help but nod and say okay.
"So, talk to me. What going on? What's your favorite color? Stuff like that." Lindsey requested. So Charlie started talking and when Hardison came back with Leon, Leon ran straight to his mom and started telling what he got to eat and pushing the buttons on the elavator and so on. When Charlie had to leave she left with a new friend and Lindsey got one to.

The doctors are finally letting him go home. When he heard the news I literaly yelled for joy and said "It's about fucking time. The hospital food sucks." Eliot let out a chuckle and said "I agree. Hospital food does suck." "They make good jello though." Parker said coming into the room. "One month here and I'm so ready to leave. The food sucks, Parker keeps eating my jello, Eliot helps her. And you just laugh and let them do it." Lindsey said pointing at Hardison as he walked into the room. "Have you tried stopping them from doing whatever they want? Parker would just shove me off another building and Eliot would smash my computers again, so I just let them do what they want." Lindsey couldn't help but agree with Hardison. "Well at least I'm finally leaving this place."
"Yeah it smells funny."
Angel/Leverage
"William Benjiam Jacobs, owner of a multi billion company is going away for life on kidnapping, torture, tax evasiven and world-wide laudering charges. We the people can't help but wish that he never sees the light of day..."

It had been 4 months since Lindsey was finally allowed to leave the hospital and everyone was doing a lot better. Nate turned and looked at his team. Eliot with his head tilted backwards, running his hands through Parker's hair as she lay on his lap. Hardison leaning back in his chair chatting with Lindsey. Lindsey leaning against the wall with a cup of coffee in his hands. Sophie sitting next to Eliot and Parker. This was his family.
"Next time I get to seduce the rich guy" Lindsey said. Everyone started laughing "What? I'm serious!"
Yup he woudn't change this for the world.
Guess where the last quote was from. Tell me what you think.
