Harry indulges Sophie with quite a lovely evening transitioning from the bistro to an exquisite dinner and stroll as the day wound down with the dwindling light. The time in his company had hours passing like minutes much to Sophie's appreciation. It was not a lustful attraction or anything of the like, instead, it was a civilized evening spent with an engaging companion. She honestly cannot remember the last time she took a whirl in Lady Cavendish's shoes. Her given name suddenly sounds a bit less foreign to her. At the moment she is quite enjoying being Alex Cavendish. Harry mentions his return to the states as he will be departing from Paris in the morning. As they part at a cab, Harry mentions that he would very much like to see Sophie again if she should find herself in Boston and be so inclined. The mention of Boston releases a sudden flood of memories. Boston is home. Boston is where her home remains, she just has not been there in quite a long time.
Remaining gracious, Sophie summons her swagger and accepts Harry's business card with his personal cellphone written on the back. With a chivalrous kiss on the back of her hand, Harry gently closes the door of the cab, putting it into motion. Sophie finds herself longing to be back for the distraction that being back with Eliot, Parker, and Hardison provides. She is even beginning to like having Brianna around. Brianna reminds her of another Parker and seeing Parker in a mothering role has been an astonishing experience. With her phone in her hand, she books a flight to New York then on to NOLA. It is time she resumes her life.
After a brief conversation with Raffy and the hand-off of a key, Harvey enters the suite to find Teddy fast asleep on the couch. Harvey watches her for a moment before gently removing the wine glass that is precariously balanced in Teddy's fingertips. Noticing the bottle of wine and the fine vintage, Harvey slips off his jacket, loosens his tie before filling the glass. He walks to the balcony to take in the view of the city. He had forgotten how beautiful Vegas can be when it is lit up. He returns to the main room of the suite slipping into an adjoining chair. Jet lag has not yet taken hold of him but he knows the schedule that his dear Anna Sun has been keeping so he does not want to disturb her rest. After what feels like minutes, Harvey awakens to find Teddy gently prodding him in the chair. With a gentle tug, she pulls him upward, leading him by the hand to the bedroom. "Come on handsome, I'll share." With a sleepy smile, Harvey adds, "Won't people talk?" Teddy turns with a wink as they cross the threshold of the bedroom, "Let them talk."
Hardison is hard at work on what seems to be a thousand problems. They thought that they had the con covered only to find it was not done. The mark had escaped to Panama. They never leave loose ends, they need to clean up their own mess without exception. With the news that Sophie is on her way, Hardison redirects her to meet them in Panama. Sophie wonders what could have gone wrong since she left, at least Hardison insured her first-class tickets for her return trip. Sophie is feeling a bit invigorated, she truly needed a bit of indulgence and Paris provided indulgence in spades. There is nothing like a stroll through Louve to inspire the soul of an art thief. It was a cathartic experience as she walked through memories of William and of Nathan in the process and Mr. Sullivan proved to be a rather nice distraction from her own head. It is time to head back to the game.
After a brief stop in NOLA, Sophie arrives in Panama in time for the planning of the course correction. Hardison and Brianna have cooked up a plan to disguise the noise of the drill required for the hack of the very old school vault. The distraction that Brianna came up with was a spontaneous rave. EDM is the solution to their problem. With a cheeky wink at Sophie, Hardison prods Sophie about knowing a guy in the industry, one who could give them the legitimacy that they need and pack the place next door. "Come on Sophie, I even dialed it for you. One call and we have Anna Sun... and Anna is even in Vegas... and she is even with Martin Garrix...do you know what we could do with that kind of megawatt power surge, just press the button." Sophie knows this is easy, Teddy is the right move, the easy move but Sophie hesitates. She does not want to pull Teddy into this world. Eliot offers into the conversation. "Sophie, we could use the help."
Teddy is awoken by the ringing of her cell. Seeing Sophie's number illuminated across the screen, Teddy wipes the sleep from her eyes to focus enough to answer the call. Losing the warmth of Teddy's body next to his own and the stir of the bed wakes Harvey from his slumber. Teddy's first response to her sister is "Alex, what is wrong?" At this hour Sophie is not calling for idle chit-chat and she has not spoken to her sister in nearly six months. Harvey is amused by the broken conversation that he is hearing from his position on the bed. Teddy is quite flummoxed by the conversation and her pacing is even more amusing than the broken bits of the conversation. Life around Anna Sun is never dull. "You need me to what? Where? Spyder what? Seriously? The conversation between what Harvey is now surmised as the sisters is funny as hell. As she hangs up, Teddy looks down at Harvey with a wink, got your passport on you? Harvey is now very curious and he came to see Teddy to get out of a bit of a funk. so hell, he is all in. Previous experience has shown when coming to see Anna Sun, you always bring your passport.
"I'll be right back." Teddy leaves Harvey lounging in her bed as she heads to a suite across the hall to chat with Martin about a spontaneous rave in Panama. The festival is not for a couple of days and this is a quick run and done for "charity". Teddy finds it rather convenient that Raffy is partying with Martin since it is fewer people to find. Teddy tells Raffy to send Hardison a list of what they will need to pull off the show and have the jet prepped with a flight plan to Panama. Raffy is thrilled since they have not done a rave in a long time as Martin adds a little old school is good for the soul. The last Rave they did was at the Ruin Bars in Budapest besides it will be good press. Raffy is a little curious as to what Alex is doing in Panama that requires an EDM solution but hell, weirder things have happened in his life with Anna Sun.
