Hid under lock and key.
Hardison awoke to the sound of dripping water. It was dark, so the hacker assumed he was blindfolded. A cold breeze told him his captors didn't really care about hospitality. What happened? Thinking hard, the hacker tried to remember the last place he was. Oh yeah, he was with Parker doing a recon over that corrupt meat packing plant. They were talking to the CEO. He should have known. That guy was creepy, especially with the eyepatch he had over one of his eyes. What did that guy do? Wrestle bears? Hardison stopped his line of thought. Parker.
"Parker!"
"Hmmmmmfff."
Did she have a gag? Why didn't he have one? Hardison was interrupted by the sound of footsteps walking toward him.
"Oh good. You're awake. I thought I would have to break one of your fingers just to get you conscious. Or your girlfriends. Whichever comes first."
The voice was exactly what Hardison expected. They were captured by the creepy CEO guy. Hardison drew up his composure and spoke low in threat.
"Do you know who I am? What I've done? What will become of you?"
A deep throated laugh came from the man.
"Oh yes. How could I not? It's not like you parade your whole team around saving many poor families. Leverage right? Bringing justice? How touching. I would hate to be threatened by people who save kittens."
The laugh came again and Hardison became angry at the man.
"What do you want?"
The laugh stopped and scuffling sounded, coming towards him. Suddenly, the hacker could see after the blindfold was ripped from his eyes. Adjusting to the limited light, Hardison focused on his surroundings. This place was familiar. Wait. This was the warehouse they found Eliot in after he was attacked. -
