They drive.
"You want to fill me in on what's going on?" Nate questions as he meets the hitter's gaze. Eliot simply looks away and Nate sighs. Ever since figuring out where Parker is, Eliot has shut down completely. He refuses to speak and refuses to answer any of Nate's questions. Nate knows this is because he feels responsible for this whole situation.
"Nate?" Nate spins around to Hardison in the driver's seat. "We've got a problem." Iron bars, angry dogs, and some of the best security guards keep the team from Parker.
Their thief is trapped in a fortress.
"You won't get away with this." Parker informs Melissa. Sophie would be so proud, seeing Parker put up such a good performance of being calm when in reality, she's breaking inside. She's scared, but not for herself.
This woman wants to kill Eliot.
Parker can't let that happen. Eliot has done so much for her. The least she could do was protect him in turn after all the times he's saved her.
"Wanna bet?" Melissa challenges. "I know Eliot. He'll come and when he does, he'll die." An image of Eliot, broken and bleeding fills Parker's mind.
She feels sick.
Nate forces himself to remain calm and take control of the situation.
"I have to go in there." Eliot mumbles, a deadly flash in his eyes.
"Dude, are you trying to kill yourself?" Hardison retorts.
"I have—"
"No one is doing anything yet," Nate commands. He can't lose his cool, not with Parker's life on the line. "Hardison, pull up anything you can on this place. I want a name and security plans." Hardison begins to furiously type away on his laptop.
"Eliot." Nate sighs.
With a quiet voice, Eliot begins to tell the story of Melissa and Thomas.
