Here's the next chapter!
Bob looks up when he hears a clicking noise. The door to the outside, that was supposed to be locked on the outside, swings open. Eliot and Parker walk in.
"You…?" Bob asks, confused.
"We need to get you out of here," Eliot says, waving him towards the door.
"But the prototype…?" Bob asks.
"We have a plan," Parker says, grabbing the prototype as Hardison walks in with…well, the prototype. Bob stares at it.
"What's that?" he asks.
"A fake prototype," Hardison says, placing it on the table in the box.
"We need to go," Eliot says, ushering everyone out the door. He stops and looks towards the other door, knowing it leads to the rest of the warehouse where his daughter is somewhere.
"Eliot, we'll get her. I promise," Nate says. Eliot fights with himself but ends up forcing his feet to walk back out the door.
Larry and Denny stand in the middle of the warehouse as the Schreckengov enters the room followed by seven other guys. Larry and Denny's body tenses, both of them glad they hired the group of men behind them. Schreckengov waves a hand forward and one of the guys places a suitcase on the table before them, opening it up revealing stacks of money. Larry nods his head.
"Denny," Larry says. Denny walks over to the room on their left and enter it. The group waits impatiently. "Denny!"
Denny finally comes out with the box and places it gently on the table, opening it up, revealing the prototype. He looks over at Larry.
"Tane is gone," he whispers.
"What?" Larry whispers harshly.
"You must think we're stupid," Schreckengov says angrily. Larry and Denny look over at him.
"What?" they ask in unison.
"This is a fake," Schreckengov says, pulling his gun on them, followed by the rest of his group. The group of men standing behind Larry and Denny instantly pull their own guns on the Russians.
"Look, we don't know what you're talking about," Larry says, abruptly dropping to the floor as Schreckengov shoots at him. Denny instantly drops himself as gunshots begin ringing out around them.
Avery strains against her bonds, growling at still not being able to loosen them any further. She hears a door open outside in the warehouse and several footsteps, followed by talking.
"This is so not good," Avery mutters.
"When was it ever good?" Quinn replies. Avery glares at him.
"When my father comes he's going to kick your ass along with everyone else in this warehouse," Avery says.
"You're father?" Quinn asks amused, "You mean the guy making the prototype? He doesn't look like he could kick a mouse's ass let alone mine."
Avery chuckles.
"That's not my father," she says.
"What?" Quinn asks, confused.
"That's not my father. That's my friend's father. You know, the one they left inside the car they blew up. My father is probly on his way right now. And he's gonna be pissed," Avery says.
"No offense, but I'm good at what I do," Quinn says cockily.
"Yeah, well so is he. And, he's probly the best," Avery says. Quinn studies her for a minute.
"Really? And who's your father?" Quinn asks, knowing she looks familiar. Avery smirks, trying to decide what she should say, deciding on just giving a first name.
"His names Eliot," Avery says. Quinn's eyes grow big.
"Eliot? As in Eliot Spencer?" Quinn asks. Now it's Avery's turn for her eyes to grow big.
"How do you know my dad?" she asks. Before Quinn can answer, a gunshot rings out, followed by a chorus of more. Avery flinches and Quinn ducks, moving over to the window and peering outside.
"Shit," he curses seeing the gun fight before him. He turns and looks over at Avery. He quickly makes his way over to where she is, pulling out a knife and cutting the bonds holding her to the chair.
"What are you doing?" Avery asks.
"I'm getting you out of here," Quinn says, grabbing her and pulling her towards the window. Avery pulls back.
"Why?" she asks.
"Because if Eliot finds out I could've helped you and didn't, especially if you get hurt? No way in hell am I dealing with that," Quinn says. Avery studies him for a minute before nodding her head and accepting his explanation. She didn't know how Quinn knew her dad, but he did and she trusted him just a little bit for that. Another gunshot rings out. Not that she had a choice or anything. Quinn opens the window and looks down, seeing the ground below them. They weren't too high up; higher than the first floor but lower than the second. "Come on, we need to jump."
Avery looks down, seeing the drop. She raises an eyebrow and looks over at Quinn.
"Jump?" she asks.
"Listen, if you're right about your dad being on his way, then that means so is the rest of the team. Which means so are the cops. You're dad's wanted in numerous countries including the US. Think about it, if the cops catch you and find out who your dad is…?" Quinn explains. Avery looks back out the window before looking back at Quinn.
"Okay," she says, nodding.
"I'll go first," Quinn says, climbing out the window and jumping down. He hits the ground, landing in a crouch to absorb the impact before standing up. He turns around and looks up at Avery. "Come on."
Avery takes a deep breath before climbing out of the window and jumping down herself. Quinn catches her and guides her to the ground. He grabs her wrist and leads her to a black car, putting her in the passenger seat before climbing into the drivers' seat. They hear sirens in the distance and Quinn starts up the car before peeling out of the parking lot.
Nate and the crew hear gunshots ring out. Bob's eyes grow wide.
"We need to get out of here. Come on," Nate says, guiding the group to Lucille, Hardison's van. Eliot looks back at them before looking back at the warehouse. "Eliot!"
"I'm not leaving her Nate," Eliot says.
"You're going to get yourself killed," Nate says. Eliot glares at him, before turning and making his way back to the warehouse. "Eliot!"
"Don't forget this," Nate says, holding up a box. Eliot runs back, grabbing the box from him and taking off for the warehouse once again.
"Nate, you can't be serious," Hardison says, running up to him.
"It's his daughter Hardison," Nate says, "Nothing we say is going to keep him out here."
Eliot enters the warehouse, hearing the gunshots on the other side of the door. He opens the door carefully and slides out, keeping close to the walls, disappearing behind a bunch of crates. He looks around the warehouse, knowing they'd keep Avery close by. He notices an office up a short flight of stairs and makes his way towards it, careful to keep out of the line of fire. He sets the box at the bottom of the stairs as he quickly makes his way up them. He ducks when he feels a bullet whiz by him. He hastily enters the office and shuts the door behind him. He looks around noticing a chair in the room and a pile of cut ropes on the floor next to it. His gaze falls on the open window and he quickly makes his way over to it, seeing a black car take off. That's when he hears the sirens and he curses to himself, knowing his daughter is in the black car. He hurriedly exits the office and makes his way down the stairs as the Russians and Larry and Benny's group freeze, having heard the sirens as well. The group immediately runs towards the door and out it. Eliot hears yelling and the group stops in the doorway. Eliot takes this time to quickly switch out the face prototype with the real one and runs over to the door he entered through.
Nate and the group watch, hearing the sirens approach and cars squeal to a stop. The gunshots have silenced as well. They listen and hear a bunch of shouting.
"Nate," Parker says, hoping Eliot is okay. Nate doesn't say anything, just looks over at the door. It bangs open and Eliot runs out and towards them.
"Eliot," Hardison says, letting out an 'umph' when Eliot shoves the box into his chest.
"She escaped in a black Charger. Don't know where though," Eliot says.
"All right, let's go," Nate replies, climbing into the car, followed by the rest of the team and Bob.
Bonnano walks into the warehouse. They had arrived just in time to see the group try to leave. Right now they were all handcuffed in the back of a slew of cop cars on their way to the precinct. Bonnano looks around and notices the table in the middle of the room. He walks closer and notices the briefcase filled with cash and the box next to it. He looks closer and notices a pile of papers tucked into a pocket. He pulls them out, looking over them.
"Johnson!" Bonnano yells. A cop walks over to him, looking at the papers.
"Yeah boss," he says.
"I think we just interrupted a buy," Bonnano says. Johnson gives him a confused look and Bonnano points to the briefcase and box.
"What's that?" Johnson asks, pointing at the thing in the box.
"A weapon. And that," Bonnano says, nodding to the briefcase full of money, "Is money the Russians were exchanging for it."
Hardison pulls up to the house and Eliot opens the door, letting Bob out of the van. The front door to the house opens and Lynnette runs out, giving her husband a hug, tears running down her face. They look back at Nate and the team, nodding their head in thanks. Nate nods his head in return before Hardison pulls onto the road and takes off towards Nate's apartment.
Please review! Would love to know what ya'll think! There's one more chapter after this.
