Author's Note: An awesome request from leveragefan. The request was "Parker hurt." I hope you enjoy this! Thanks for the request! Please note that Eliot and Parker are not a couple here and that this has nothing to do with the main storyline. Please enjoy!
Eliot sighs and glances at the clock once more.
He's not sure why he's still here at the office when everyone else has gone home. Well, everyone except Parker who has been gone all day.
He feels anxious and he's not sure why. Sophie did tell him that Parker was off on one of her "fun" robberies—whatever that meant—and that she wouldn't be back until tomorrow.
So, why was he still here? Parker was perfectly capable at doing things on her own and there was no indication that she was hurt or needed help.
The anxiety doesn't go away.
"Dammit," He mutters and jumps up from the table. He's going home since staying here is just making him feel useless.
He places his hand on the doorknob when the door opens. He braces himself for attack, but freezes when he sees who it is.
"Eliot," Parker mumbles. Eliot is about to say something when he sees the blood. Blood seems to be everywhere on Parker's petit frame.
"Parker, what—?"
She forces herself inside and Eliot takes a better look at her. Parker's hair seems matted with blood which indicates a head wound, but by the way Parker was moving it had to be a small head wound. Her arms and legs were covered in small, dried cuts and major bruises. The only other place where there was a ton of blood was the side of her stomach. Her white shirt seemed crimson on that side and Eliot could only pray that she hadn't been shot.
It's the next thing she does that sets him off.
She grabs the remote and begins to watch TV.
He snaps.
"Parker what the hell happened to you!?" He turns off the TV and quickly sits next to her, checking her for more injuries that he couldn't see at a difference.
"I got caught." She replies and Eliot frowns. "In the end though, I still got what I wanted." She pulls out a little white stuffed kitten with hazel eyes. Parker smiles and begins to stroke the little kitty.
"You robbed a toy store?" Eliot asks incredulously. "For a stuffed kitten?"
She nods.
"Nate said I couldn't get a real kitten so I figured I would just have to get a stuffed one!" She begins to coo at the toy while Eliot pinched himself to make sure he wasn't dreaming.
"What toy store did you rob?" He questions, wondering why a toy store would have security guards that could hurt Parker so much.
"Hmm . . ." She thinks for a second and then grins. "I dunno!"
Eliot sighs again and then lifts Parker into his arms.
"Let's go,"
"Where are we going!?" She exclaims. "I wanna stay with my kitten!"
Eliot shakes his head in disbelief.
"I am taking you to a hospital. You obviously got yourself hurt and need medical attention."
"I don't wanna go, I don't wanna go!" She chants. "Eliot, you're so mean!"
A tired smile appears on Eliot's face.
"You're really crazy, you know that?"
She doesn't answer but grabs Eliot's phone.
"Sophie?" She asks. "Um, can you watch my kitten?" A pause. "No, it's fake, but Eliot has to take me to the hospital and I need someone to watch—"
Eliot chuckles as he hears Sophie's voice ringing through Parker's ears.
"It's gonna be a long night," He mutters to himself.
And yet, he wouldn't have it any other way.
Author's Note: While this is a drabble series—meaning that every chapter is supposed to be 100 words exactly—I have decided to make request chapters as long as I like! Review/Request!
