A/N: Hey Guys. I'm sooo sorry for not updating sooner but I'm kind of hooked by the show 'Once upon a time' and 'Leverage' was on a long break and I kind of lost my inspiration. But now they are back and so am I. ;)

Thanks to yello13 for reminding me again and again that I still haven't updated and to wolfenstein who his still an amazing beta, Thank you so much! Of course I also have to thank all of the readers who still reading this and were also waiting for an update.


"How bad is it Eliot? Any change?" That was the first thing Nate asked of course, always the practical one. Not 'How is she?' A prognosis, that was all he cared about. Eager for a time when she could jump of buildings and risk her life for him and the job again. He was so arrogant!

"No, nothing yet. She's still asleep. I'm not sure how long it'll be till she wakes up." replied the gruff hitter.

"Shouldn't we take her to a hospital or at least let a medical practitioner look after her? Just to be sure." Tara asked.

"No there's no need for that. Eliot's practically a field medic anyway" Nate explained to the blonde who still looked very skeptical.

"Experience is the best medical school you can get." Eliot answered harshly and Tara didn't reply but she had to admit that she was a little impressed. "And I actually was promoted to field medic back in Afghanistan for a while."

"Eliot?" It was the first time Sophie said anything since Tara's explanation so they all turned to face the British grifter.

"In your honest opinion. What would have happened if you hadn't have caught her? Is there any chance, no matter how small, that Parker could have survived this by reaching the roof on the other side or catching the fire escape or something? Is there any chance that this wasn't a suicide attempt?" Sophie asked slowly, every word loud and clear, absolutely controlled. The grifter was going to lose it and they all knew it. She was forcing herself to hold together for as long as possible.

"I'm not sure. I can't read her mind Soph, maybe Parker had a plan maybe not, she's impossible to predict. But from what I've seen, there wasn't a plan. The fire escape could easily be missed in a jump. I can't think of how else she could have saved her self." The hitter replied upset. Parker was always so active and seeing her laying in Nate's bed with those injuries... it felt so wrong. A motionless Parker just wasn't right.

Sophie just nodded, she didn't need to hear anything more. In fact Eliot's face told her more than his words. He obviously thought that it wasn't an accident but didn't dare to say it out loud. He probably didn't want to believe it either.

"I'll tell you one more time! This wasn't a suicide attempt, are we clear! Wait until she's fully awake and she'll explain everything, you'll see, all of you." Hardison said and walked down the stairs to the group.

"I'm not discussing this with you anymore!" Eliot growled and went to the kitchen to occupy himself and stop thinking, Parker would also need something to eat when she woke up.

Hardison just ignored him and turned his attention back to Sophie. "She's not awake yet but she talks in her sleep. I tried to wake her up and calm her down but it didn't work. I thought since you're here, maybe you could try it Soph."

"Of course Alec, I'll see what I can do. Eliot do you think we should give her more morphine to sedate her?"

"No, she has to wake up and we have to be careful with her morphine intake, it could mess with her system. Too much and it will slow down the healing process. I need her to wake up anyway to see if she has any other injuries I don't know about." the hitter replied while cooking. So Sophie took a deep breath and climbed the stairs to see the thief that became part of her family so long ago.


A/N: Yes short I know but I had to get into the flow carefully.

Next chapter will be about Sophie and Parker if you want one.

Tell me what you think and If you think I should stop or if you're still interested in the story.
