I want to thank everyone for your reviews. I would like to thank my beta NickandGregNumberOneSlash, for editing it for me even though this fandom isn't one you usually do. The fandom for this chapter is Leverage, so enjoy.


Once again he was sent to do the scruff work like always, after all he's the retrieval expert so he will notice things that the others would probably look over, at least that's what he kept telling himself as he walked into the third warehouse. "Damn it Hardison, you better pray that it's here."

"Whoa...whoa...how is it my fault that you were sent on a wild goose chase, all I did was give you the addresses."

"The last place I was at was a slaughter house, I slipped and tore my new pants Hardison."

"Oh like that's the worst that's ever happened to your clothes"

"That's not the point"

"Then what's the point?"

"The point is that, this is your thing you should have been able to figure out exactly where it was, so I would just have to come in and get it." he walked farther into the damp metal box

"Can you guys focus on what your doing, Eliot just find it. Hardison are you into the security cameras yet? Its almost time for Parker to get into the office" states Nate

"Don't worry, I'm setting the cameras so that there playing over until she gets through them and into the office" replies Hardison

"I still don't get why I can't just walk in through the front door?" asks Parker, as she adjusts the black straps on her harness.

"Well..." starts Sophie

"I thought you liked jumping off roof tops?" asks Nate

"I do..." replies Parker

"Eliot have you found anything yet?" asks Nate

"Not yet, but I still have some more stuff to go through" he replies while moving a couple of boxes that he's already gone through.

"Eliot, someone just pulled up in front of the building" states Hardison looking at the footage of the security camera that he hacked into.

Eliot looked up to see someone walking towards him, he moved away from the articles that he was just searching through, he stopped moving when he was in arms reach of the unknown guy now in front of him. "Hey, how's it going?"

"This area is restricted"

"Really, then shouldn't there be some signs or something"

The man chuckled slightly before throwing his fist towards him, Eliot moved slightly to his right dodging the blow. He threw his other fist, causing Eliot to move the other way, his fist made contact with the flesh of his cheek, causing a small cut to form caused by the ring the man was wearing. Eliot wiped his cheek removing any blood that may have been starting to drip down, but luckily enough there was nothing red was exiting his body. Oh yeah this day keeps getting better.

He clenches his fist and lifts his arm to block, just as the man was about to take his next swing. He doesn't waste anytime from throwing his own swing, making contact with the man's shoulder causing him to stumble back and grab his shoulder. Eliot was so focused on the man in front of him that he didn't notice the two men coming up behind him. One of the men threw his fist, punching him in his back shoulder. It caused him to hunch over, before swinging that same arm back, making the guy stumble back. While the other guy that came up behind him hitting him in the center of his back, causing him to bend down onto the ground, to the point that his right knee rested on the cement. Yup just keeps getting better. Eliot raised his arms so that his arms were horizontal with his shoulders, he swings his elbows back, hitting both guys in the lower stomach. The other guy threw another punch hitting him once again in the face, causing it to knock the other way. Eliot pushed his way back up onto his feet, getting a good footing before they could cause another blow. The 3 guys hit him at the same time, only 1 had grabbed something from the ground and hit him with it, just after the other two had finished hitting him.

He found himself once again hunched over, with his knees bent blood dripping from his mouth. He looked up again at the three men standing around him, he wasn't overly sure as to where the next hit was going to be coming from. True normally he could handle something like this no problem but today wasn't going his way, sure when he walked farther into the deserted storage unit he had only seen the one guy and he didn't hear the other two sneak up behind him. Sure they got a jump on him, but he could always handle himself in this kind of situation, but this was definitely an off day.
