A/N: I'm moving, starting a new job, temporarily living apart from my husband and NaNoWriMo is about to start so I'm sorry for the extremely slow updating lately but I promise it will get better in a few weeks. Also as always reviews/comments are appreciated. :)

Standing out on the sidewalk like this makes me feel really exposed and it just gets worse when Hardison starts going on about how our covers are blown and Nate isn't immediately sure where we should go or what we should do. I don't like it when we don't have a plan. People think I'm impulsive but I don't do things without a plan. Sometimes I form my plan in the space of 3 minutes like when I stole the David statute, but sometimes it takes weeks to plan appropriately. It's the reason I've never been caught and none of my crimes are actually linked back to me

Finally Nate announces that we will go to the same hotel where they are staffing the mayor and immediately that makes perfect sense to me. When Tara drops her towel to get into the hotel room, I'm just as impressed as Eliot is though probably for slightly different reasons. I mean Tara is hot and I can totally appreciate that even if I'm not interested in her that way, but seriously she just stood naked in a hotel hallway where anyone might see her. That's more ballsy than any form of nudity I've ever done and I'm pretty carefree about such things.

When I get the opportunity to mess with Hardison, it really brightens up my day. He gets really flustered when I put the porn on. I don't really get what the big deal is but I know it bothers him and that's just funny to me.

But just as quickly, Nate tries to bring me back down again. I don't get his problem lately but we don't have time for this. At least drunk Nate could be counted on before. He needs to get it together before we have to let him go. Eliot and pretty much tell him so. I hope it gets through to him

Nate tells us we're going to steal the mayor and I get a little gleeful. I've never stolen a politician before. There's never been a reason to. This should be fun, but easy. In fact it takes us maybe 5 minutes to come with a solid plan and I get to dress up like a maid. I keep the costume of course.

Then, I get to take Tara to break in with me and we're using the air ducts which she's never done before so i'm excited to show her, but she ruins it by making me think that she's a traitor. I don't want to believe it but Hardison wouldn't be wrong about a picture. Though to be fair, I've never dropped anyone off a roof before and Tara doesn't even make it difficult. I really don't get why people are always so surprised by how strong my hands are. I literally hang off buildings by my hands... How do they think that happens? Luckily, she's not a traitor and I don't have to kill her because I would have done it. I always do what's necessary. Clearly Tara doesn't know me as well as she thinks and I'm not so adorable anymore because she's not sure if I would throw her off the roof or not. Eliot and Nate would know and they wouldn't be surprised either. Sophie and Hardison would want to believe I wouldn't do it but they would still know better.

When Sophie comes out at the end, I have a brief flash of happiness and I hug her. I can't remember the last time I ever hugged someone voluntarily. I must really like her. I mean I've known the I felt differently about her than I ever felt about any other woman I've met, but I have the sudden realization the I care about Sophie. That I would be hurt if I never saw her again, but like always, I choose not to dwell on these thoughts. It's helpful that I can see Nate is more injured than he's letting on, but I don't think anyone except Eliot notices.

I was right about this job though. It could only end badly and in the end Nate does the honest man thing and sacrifices himself to free us. I'm sad to let him go, to break up the team after we just barely got everyone together and I realize that Tara has gone and while I prefer Sophie, I enjoyed Tara in a different way. She's more adventurous, willing to try new things. I brighten a little though when I realize we're going to break Nate out of jail. I've never broken someone else out of jail. It should be a challenge.
