The FailSafe job (Eliot, Parker and Hardison)
"Okay Eliot I'm outta here!" Parker said slipping into her office to grab her bag. Parker walked calmly to the elevator and pressed the down button. She kept a nervous eye on the conference room. "Hurry up and open" Parker stepped into the elevator and as the doors closed she breathed a sigh of relief. As the doors opened, Parker quickly walked out the front door and straight to te car. Hardison already had the door open. Parker looked at both men as she got into the car "God, I love you guys!"
Hardison was beside himself, like out of body type beside himself, and he snapped at Eliot. "Man, I got 'it' under control, but he touches her again and I'm gonna break his fingers. Every single one of them, slowly. What is it Captain Caveman always asks me? How many of them fingers do you need to type, round down? Well, hell yeah, that's what I'm thinking right now! Ass Grab gonna screw around and not have any damn fingers left when I get through with him. " Then he saw Parker calmly walking out of the building and Alec had not been so happy to see Parker, well ever. He reached behind him and popped the door open for her, and he breathed a sigh of relief as she shut the door behind her. It was all he could do not to vault into the backseat and hold her tightly and never let her go. Instead Alec looked back at Parker and said, "Love you too, Baby Girl, but what the hell were you thinking going in like that? You can't do that to me, you hear me?"
Eliot gripped the steering wheel as Hardison started his rant. "The only reason I don't punch the shit out of you is because you have lost your damn mind." Eliot growled. If their relationship was going to start messing up the job, Eliot was going to go all ape shit on them. They had a job to do and personal, emotional crap needed to be checked at the door. As if Eliot would ever let anyone lay a hand on Parker and get away with it. What the hell were they thinking? The minute Parker was in the car, he hit the gas and headed out. "We've got what you need, now do your damn job." He directed his remarks at Hardison, who was currently in Eliot's dog house.
Parker handed the book to Alec. "Guys, I didn't think he would act like that or I never would have gone into his office. He creeped me out and I hated his hands on me, but I got what we needed. I'm sorry I didn't use my head, okay?" Parker looked at both me. "So check the egos and let's take this creep down and make him pay!" Parker reached over the seat and hugged Alec and then Eliot. She knew they were both upset and angry. However, now they could do what they do best, make that creep Mr. Grab Ass pay!
A couple of hours later they were back at HQ. The three of them had done their thangs once they returned, and Alec was buried nearly neck deep in numbers. The only problem was he couldn't concentrate on anything. His mind kept going back to when he lost control of his emotions, and he realized that it had been wrong. He had put his emotions ahead of their objective and he knew better. He went in search of both his partners, he had some serious apologizing to do and the sooner the better. When he found Eliot he cleared his throat and spoke. "Hey, Eliot, man. Listen, I'm sorry about what happened earlier. I should not have let my emotional emotions of the moment get to me. I could have put us all in deep shit and I know better." Alec scrubbed the back of his neck with his hand. "So, we good now?"
The Wedding (Hardison, Parker, Aimee, Eliot, Julianna, Quinn)
"Hey Aimee! I hope we are not bothering you." Parker looked at Aimee and knew she was as tired as she was. "We are trying to decide on colors and some other stuff." The look on Aimee's face was so sweet as she looked at the different colors. there was a glow about her which made Parker smile. "I know we have dscussed dresses. This is some of dfferent colors but what do you think about mint green bridesmaid dresses?" Parker looked at Aimee for guidance because as far as fancy stuff goes Parker had no clue.
Aimee smiled and nodded at Parker as she walked into the room. "No, you aren't bothering me, not at all. I was just being lazy." Aimee explained as she looked down at the mint green swatches lying on the bed. She sat down next to the fabric samples. "That would be beautiful, Parker. I think that's a great choice. At least I know mint green won't clash with my hair!" Aimee teased her friend. "Seriously, though, I really do like it. Have you thought about what style you want Julianna and I to wear? I mean, long or short? There really is so much that goes into planning a wedding, isn't there?" Aimee asked Parker and Alec with a gentle smile.
"I had hoped the color was okay." Parker said smiling. "I was thinking since it's so hot maybe knee length dresses for you and Julianna?" Parker asked. "I was thinking maybe white roses and mint green carnations as the flowers, what do you two think?" Parker looked at Aimee ad Alec for opinions and guidance. "I really need help because have no clue what I'm doing." Parker loved Aimee's classiness and Alec's sense of style. "You know me, if it's not practical, I have no clue." Parker said nervously laughing.
Alec nodded his head in agreement with everything Parker said. He didn't have a clue either, but there was no way in hell he was going to tell Parker and Aimee that. "Yeah, Baby. It will create a classical yet elegant look that could, depending on the accessories, be used for either an informal afternoon affair or a formal evening event." He grinned as he looked at both women, proud of what he had been able to contribute to the conversation. Alec had remembered what he read from that bridal type website word for word. Damn he was good.
"Well Alec that was an informative answer, baby." Parker looked over at Aimee and laughed. "But seriously, what do you think? I need to know if you think the guys will wear those colors?" Parker couldn't help but smile when she saw the distressed look on Alecs face. "Aimee, what do you think about mint green vests and ties maybe with a black tux and white shirts? Parker looked at Aimee who was still giggling at Alec's expression.
Aimee nodded, still grinning at Alec's answer. "Yes, I think they will all look extremely handsome in them." She paused for a moment while she imagined Eliot dressed in the colors Parker was describing, and she liked what she was picturing. She had to shake her head to clear it before she answered. "I think as long as you don't ask them to wear mint green jackets you should be just fine." She laughed lightly. "I remember a party I went to once where the host was dressed in a mint green tuxedo jacket that matched his wife's dress perfectly. Both the host and his wife are extremely tall, but…damn how did I get off track again? Must be the pregnancy brain taking over again. I guess what I'm trying to say is that, please no mint green jackets?"
"Oh yeah, that's the good point of good pointiness right there, Aimee. Mmmhmm, sure is!" Hardison agreed with Aimee, and nodded as he did so. "Now, I do like the idea of the flowers, too, Baby. It's gonna be perfect." Alec smiled as he thought about things. He wanted this to be perfect for Parker, down to the very last detail, and he would do what he had to do to make it happen. But one thing Alec hadn't considered was how much work went into planning and making a wedding happen. How in the hell were they gonna do that, do their work, and raise twins? Damn, if he could have, he would have turned the exact shade of a couple of those green material thingies. "Okay, ladies, so where do we go from here?" He looked between both women with a smile and a wink.
The FailSafe job (Eliot, Parker and Hardison)
"I think know where to find the codes. Getting them is going to require a little more sexiness." Parker heard Alec over her com. "I have to do what I can to get the codes, Alec. Believe me, it turns my stomach too."
Parker walked into the bosses office and turns and locks his door. She turned around and walked to his desk. The boss looks at her with lust in his eyes. Parker walks around his desk and sits on his desk,leaning towards him. " I love a man with authority almost as much as a man with money" Parker said smiling as she placed her hand on his thigh.
The boss reaches up and pulls Parker into his lap. "What if I told you have plenty of both?" the boss said her caressed Parker's face. "What do you mean?" Parker asked innocently trying not to hit him. " Well what would you say if told you I'm rich" the boss said biting his lip. "I love money. Will you show me?" Parker whispered in his ear.
The boss looked at Parker and kissed her on the neck. Parker almost cringed when his lips touched her. He reached behind her touching her ass as he reached for a hidden drawer. He reached into the drawer brushing his face against Parker's chest and pulled out a book. "In this book baby are several offshore bank accounts" he said. "I was leaving the country tonight alone but I think I would love to share this with you, gorgeous." "Can I see it?" Asked Parker knowing Alec and Eliot could see the codes. "Anything for you,baby" he said as he slid his hand up Parkers thigh.
Parker held the book close to her. "Give me time to run home and pack" Parker said as she tried to stand up. "You don't need to pack baby, I will buy you everything you want" he said as he held Parker tighter groping her and trying to kiss her. Parker looked at the camera with a paniced look in her eyes.
Alec stared at the image on the screen, and for one of the few times in his life he was completely speechless.
Eliot looked at the screen and saw the panicked look on Parker's face. He immediately headed for the door until he realized Hardison wasn't moving. He ran back and grabbed the hacker by the arm. "Move your ass, man. We gotta get over there before she stabs him with a letter opener or some other convenient office supply." Eliot yanked Alec toward the door until Alec snapped out of it and then they both ran like hell to the Challenger. "My car, it's faster." Eliot said as he was already getting in and starting it up. The minute Alec's ass hit the seat, Eliot took off. The passenger door closed via the movement of the car taking off.
Pissed off did not even begin to describe how Alec Hardison was feeling as Eliot sped through the city. Alec was thankful that the hitter was driving because Hardison knew that he sure as hell couldn't focus enough to drive. Mr. Ass Grab had gone too far this time when he touched Parker, and the panicked look on her face was almost more than he could stand. Hardison spoke so Parker could hear him. "Yeah, I got it. Nice work. We'll be there soon, Parker." The ride seemed to take forever even though Eliot was driving like a bat out of hell. When they arrived he looked over at Eliot and spoke in a low voice. "She needs to stab that son-of-a-bitch, Eliot, because if she don't I will."
The whole situation sucked, but at least Eliot had a better handle on his emotions. He got them to the office as fast as he could. He had been relieved when Parker told them that the jerk had left and Parker was safe. As they pulled up, Alec was more than a little twitchy. Eliot turned and using his firmest voice. "Man, get it under control. We stick to the con." Eliot switched his focus to Parker. "Parker, nab that book he showed you. Casually walk out of his office, keep walking. We are right out front." Eliot calmly spoke, staring at Hardison the whole time as if daring the hacker to disagree.
"Okay Eliot I'm outta here!" Parker said slipping into her office to grab her bag. Parker walked calmly to the elevator and pressed the down button. She kept a nervous eye on the conference room. "Hurry up and open" Parker stepped into the elevator and as the doors closed she breathed a sigh of relief. As the doors opened, Parker quickly walked out the front door and straight to te car. Hardison already had the door open. Parker looked at both men as she got into the car "God, I love you guys!"

Instead Alec looked back at Parker and said, "Love you too, Baby Girl, but what the hell were you thinking going in like that? You can't do that to me, you hear me?"
A favor owed (Eliot, Hardison, Quinn and Julianna )
Hardison looked up as Julianna came into the room, and he could see from her face that something was not right. He nodded back at Eliot, and he quickly got up out of his chair and followed the other two up the stairs. This was Eliot's area of expertise, but Hardison could be there to help him or to help keep Julianna calm. She was scared, and he listened while she explained what happened as Julianna and Quinn went to rest. Alec stopped in the doorway and looked into the room. He had to agree with the girl that Captain Caveman did not look good.
He was exhausted. The sun was too hot. He was covered in sweat. Quinn had to save the girl. Where was she? She was his captive. But she wasn't. He needed to get out of Hawaii. They both needed out of Hawaii. But he was lost. He was running. He kept running. But they were catching up. If they caught him he would be dead. She had saved him. Julianna had stayed. But she wasn't safe. He needed to keep her safe. He had to get to Eliot. Eliot's team would help. He was so tired. He couldn't run anymore. He couldn't breathe. The heat was stifling. He'd just lay here. It would be so easy to let go.
She looked over at Eliot, her eyes pleading. "Please help him, Eliot, please." She whispered as she crawled back up on the bed and sat next to Rand. She took Rand's hand in one of hers and she caressed his face with the other. Julianna was scared something bad was going to happen to Rand and she didn't know what she would do if it did. They had been through so much in their time together, and despite the way things had started, she truly loved him. She looked up at Eliot, and when she saw the look on his face she was even more worried. She looked back down at Rand, her heart breaking as she spoke. "I'm here, we're here." She leaned down and rested her cheek against his as she whispered in his ear. "Please wake up, Rand, please wake up for me. For me."
Eliot quickly moved over to the bed and did a visual scan on Quinn. He looked back at Hardison. "Get me the blue medic kit, the big one." Eliot specified. He was going to need antibiotics and surgical thread. Quinn appeared to have a low grade fever and Eliot feared an infection had set in. He was going to have to clean the wounds and probably suture them again. Ignoring everyone else in the room, Eliot went to work. Using just his bare hands, he ripped Quinn's shirt out of the way, then he tore the tank undershirt as well. Quinn was covered in a light sheen of sweat; he had to be running a fever. While they waited for Hardison to return with the supplies Eliot needed, he asked Julianna to get him some wet wash clothes. Mostly he just wanted to keep the girl busy, her worry and fear were clear on her face. Eliot studied the shoulder wound. It was red and inflamed; no doubt the infection was coming from there.
Hardison ran out of the room, down the stairs, and into the utility room where Eliot kept his medic kit. He reached over and grabbed it, then took the stairs two at a time to get it back up to Eliot. Damn, the man on the bed looked, well pastier than his normal pasty self. He nearly ran into Julianna as he moved through the hallway, and damn did she look upset. Alec reached out and touched her shoulder as she went past him, and he had to admit that he felt sorry for her. He had known Captain Caveman to be a little grumpy and sometimes borderline hostile, but he could tell Quinn was in a bad way. Hopefully Eliot could help Captain Caveman get back to his wonderful grumpy self. He entered the room and set the med kit where Eliot pointed, then stepped aside to let Eliot work his magic. "Here if you need me man."
The Wedding (Hardison, Parker, Aimee, Eliot, Julianna, Quinn)
"Yeah Alec. I'm in here" Parker called from the bedroom. She had just laid down to rest for a while. Sleeping anytime had become a blessing. Parker wondered why she stayed so tired all the time. The babies and the upcoming nuptuals were keeping her pretty busy. Parker was so overwhelmed it was just exhausting. Alec was so sweet and caring but she was trying not to burden him with too much. "What is it, baby?" Parker asked as she kissed the love of her life.
"Hey, your fabric swatch thingies came in just now, where do you want them?" Alec said as he walked into the bedroom. Parker was lying on the bed and she looked very tired. She was so incredibly beautiful that she took his breath away. He never thought he would ever be lucky enough to be with her, let alone be marrying her and the father of her babies. He sat down on the bed next to her, returned her kiss, and took her hand in his. Hardison caressed her knuckles with his thumb as he smiled down at her. "You are so beautiful, Parker, do you know that?" Then he noticed how exhausted she really looked and he was concerned. "You okay? I mean, really really okay?"
Parker looked lovingly into Alec's eyes. "Yes, baby I'm fine. Just resting a little." Parker was so happy that Alec was going to be hers forever. "Put the swatches on the bed and maybe we can go through them together." "I have a few ideas but I would really like someone else's input. Is Aimee around?" Parker and Aimee had been discussing some details but it was Alec's wedding too. Parker wanted him to be part of the planning too." Have told you how happy I am that you're mine?" Parker wrapped her arms tightly around her man and hugged him ever so close! She kissed Alec and he started to lay down on the bed kissing her. "Uh uh, wedding plans first" Parker said smiling at her handome husband-to-be.
It had been a rough morning for Aimee and she was having trouble keeping her toast where it belonged. This was the one part of pregnancy she could do without. She had just laid back down on the bed when Alec came looking for her. He said Parker needed her opinion on a few things about the wedding. Aimee was excited for her friends, and she would help in any way she could. She smiled up at Hardison as she slowly sat up. Damn, now she was dizzy and she focused on Hardison as her head cleared. "Sorry about that Alec, you know how it is." She slowly got off the bed and followed Hardison to where Parker was. "I'm so happy for you guys and I know the wedding is going to be beautiful."
"Hey Aimee! I hope we are not bothering you." Parker looked at Aimee and knew she was as tired as she was. "We are trying to decide on colors and some other stuff." The look on Aimee's face was so sweet as she looked at the different colors. there was a glow about her which made Parker smile. "I know we have dscussed dresses.

Damn he was good.
OOC
Things just got really complicated for my mun. Test results weren't so good and am going to be busy with doctors and the like for a bit. I will do replies as I can but it may take a long time. Forgive me.
Take all the time you need. Am here for you.
The Wedding (Hardison, Parker, Aimee, Eliot, Julianna, Quinn)
It had been a hell of a few weeks and Alec was still reeling from everything. Damn but they were a fer-tile bunch of folks. Quinn and Julianna's announcement, followed by his and Parkers, then Eliot and Aimee's had come one right after the other. There were gonna be lots of kids running around HQ in the next several months, two of which would belong to Alec and Parker. Damn did that ever take him by surprise. When he found out he and Parker were having twins he was excited and scared all at the same time. He just hoped they would be beautiful like their mama.
He had been nervous to tell his Nana but not because she didn't approve of Parker. Nothing could be further from the truth, Nana adored his Baby Girl. Nah, it was the whole marriage before baby thang and he was afraid of how Nana would take it. Nana had always told him, "Don't make a mistake, cover your snake," and well sometimes things just happen. But, Nana took it better than he thought she would, and she didn't make a fuss about doing things backwards and all. But what Nana and Parker didn't know was that he had bought that ring long before they found out Parker was pregnant, and he had been walking around with the ring in his pocket waiting for the right time. Nah, that wasn't true, either, he had been waiting until he had the guts to do it. Part of him had been so afraid she would tell him no and he didn't know what he would have done if she had. But she hadn't turned him down, she had been really excited. So now he found himself knee deep in wedding stuff, tuxes and dresses with growable middle areas for the errr, "growing" female population in the group. It was overwhelming, he wasn't gonna lie, but he had to admit it was fun. He wanted his Baby Girl to be happy, so whatever she wanted he was gonna do his damnedest to get her. He went in search of her. "Parker? You in here?"
"Yeah Alec. I'm in here" Parker called from the bedroom. She had just laid down to rest for a while. Sleeping anytime had become a blessing. Parker wondered why she stayed so tired all the time. The babies and the upcoming nuptuals were keeping her pretty busy. Parker was so overwhelmed it was just exhausting. Alec was so sweet and caring but she was trying not to burden him with too much.

The FailSafe job (Eliot, Parker and Hardison)
"I think know where to find the codes. Getting them is going to require a little more sexiness." Parker heard Alec over her com. "I have to do what I can to get the codes, Alec. Believe me, it turns my stomach too."
Parker walked into the bosses office and turns and locks his door. She turned around and walked to his desk. The boss looks at her with lust in his eyes. Parker walks around his desk and sits on his desk,leaning towards him. " I love a man with authority almost as much as a man with money" Parker said smiling as she placed her hand on his thigh.
The boss reaches up and pulls Parker into his lap. "What if I told you have plenty of both?" the boss said her caressed Parker's face. "What do you mean?" Parker asked innocently trying not to hit him. " Well what would you say if told you I'm rich" the boss said biting his lip. "I love money. Will you show me?" Parker whispered in his ear.
The boss looked at Parker and kissed her on the neck. Parker almost cringed when his lips touched her. He reached behind her touching her ass as he reached for a hidden drawer. He reached into the drawer brushing his face against Parker's chest and pulled out a book. "In this book baby are several offshore bank accounts" he said. "I was leaving the country tonight alone but I think I would love to share this with you, gorgeous." "Can I see it?" Asked Parker knowing Alec and Eliot could see the codes. "Anything for you,baby" he said as he slid his hand up Parkers thigh.
Parker held the book close to her. "Give me time to run home and pack" Parker said as she tried to stand up. "You don't need to pack baby, I will buy you everything you want" he said as he held Parker tighter groping her and trying to kiss her. Parker looked at the camera with a paniced look in her eyes.
Alec stared at the image on the screen, and for one of the few times in his life he was completely speechless.
Eliot looked at the screen and saw the panicked look on Parker's face. He immediately headed for the door until he realized Hardison wasn't moving. He ran back and grabbed the hacker by the arm. "Move your ass, man. We gotta get over there before she stabs him with a letter opener or some other convenient office supply."

The FailSafe job (Eliot, Parker and Hardison)
Parker said "No underwriter!" "Wait a minute, let me check something on the computer." Parker remembered seeing a file that looked out of place named Benjamin Prosperity. No other files had more than a letter followed by numbers. Parker clicked on the file and a bunch of code started scrolling on her screen. "Alec, are you getting this?" Parker asked as she sent the files. "Is this what think it is?" she asked.
Hardison nodded as the data came in. "Yeah, I'm getting it." He scanned over the information Parker sent, and his eyes widened. "Damn," he whispered as the data continued to scroll. "Yeah, uhhh, it is exactly what you think it is Parker. Right there is the thang we are looking for, right there. From what I can see these numbers here," he pointed to the screen, "are account numbers." He looked over at Eliot as he spoke, knowing Parker could hear him through her com. "Looks like Mr. Ass Grab took the premiums paid by the employees and stashed them in these accounts in the Cayman Islands." He continued looking. "Oh hell, no. No, no no. FailSafe never once paid one penny in insurance premiums to any insurance company. Instead every dime, every single dime allotted for insurance, went straight into Ass Grab's pocket."
The need to hit someone was getting stronger and a lot more focused. Past experience told Eliot that Hardison could get the money back he just needed codes. "How do you want to play this?" He asked the hacker. Eliot didn't like the idea of putting Parker in any more danger. "What do you think Parker?" He asked through his com. Far as Eliot was concerned he could go in and beat the information out of Mr Grab Ass, but that wasn't the most efficient way to play the con. Eliot waited for input from his two partners.
"I think know where to find the codes. Getting them is going to require a little more sexiness." Parker heard Alec over her com. "I have to do what I can to get the codes, Alec. Believe me, it turns my stomach too."

Parker asked innocently trying not to hit him. " Well what would you say if told you I'm rich" the boss said biting his lip. "I love money. Will you show me?" Parker whispered in his ear.
The boss looked at Parker and kissed her on the neck. Parker almost cringed when his lips touched her. He reached behind her touching her ass as he reached for a hidden drawer. He reached into the drawer brushing his face against Parker's chest and pulled out a book. "In this book baby are several offshore bank accounts" he said. "I was leaving the country tonight alone but I think I would love to share this with you, gorgeous." "Can I see it?" Asked Parker knowing Alec and Eliot could see the codes. "Anything for you,baby" he said as he slid his hand up Parkers thigh.
Parker held the book close to her. "Give me time to run home and pack" Parker said as she tried to stand up. "You don't need to pack baby, I will buy you everything you want" he said as he held Parker tighter groping her and trying to kiss her. Parker looked at the camera with a paniced look in her eyes.
Alec stared at the image on the screen, and for one of the few times in his life he was completely speechless.

The FailSafe job (Eliot, Parker and Hardison)
The next morning, Parker got ready for "work". She put on her low-cut black dress which was slit up the sides. She strapped on her heels. Parker stood up and smoothed out her dress. She had her braided down her back. As she walked into the room both Alec and Eliot let out a low whistle. *I guess I chose the right outfit* she laughed. "Well time for work" Parker said as she walked towards the door.
She arrived at the office late. As she walked to the bosses office, every man stared at her. "I'm sorry I'm late, sir" Parker said as she sat down a his desk and crossed her legs. "Don't worry about that doll. It's fine" he said as he looked longingly at Parkers legs. After staring a her for awhile, the boss asked Parker to pull some paperwork for him to sign. "Yes sir, I will get them right away" Parker said.
Parker slowly rose from the chair and turned to walk out of his office. She could feel his eyes slowly undressing her as she walked slowly from the room. Back in her office, Parker spoke to Alec and Eliot by com. " He is starting to really creep me out. I hope this will be over soon before I kill him"
Parker began pulling the files her boss had requested. She found a lockbox in the back of one of the drawers. She locked her door and picked the lock on the box. inside she found several documents relating to the financials for FailSafe. She took pictures of all the documents and uploaded them to Hardison. "I've sent you sme interesting information found under lock and key. Hope it helps."
There was a knock at her door. It was her boss. "Gotta go". Parker walked over unlocked the door. "I'm so sorry. I have no idea how the door got locked" Parker said distracting him by leaning on her desk. The boss was looking at her legs and totally forgot about what he wanted. He smiled at her and backed out of the room. "Alec did you get the information?"
"Lock and key, baby? Now that is interesting." Hardison said with a grin as he downloaded the information. "Got it all right here, nicely done if I do say so myself." Alec looked over at Eliot as he read over it, then he pointed to the screen. "Do you see that man? Right there it is! Seems Mr. Lower than Low has been keeping a couple of secrets from everyone, including his accounting department." He leaned over so Eliot could read over his shoulder. "From the outside they look all nice and sound and shit, but they ain't. Trust me when I say this to you, thangs ain't what they seem." He read on for another moment. "Well bless my dear sweet Aunt Bessie, they done lost their underwriter. Damn."
"They lost their underwriter?" Eliot was livid! No one that was insured through that company had insurance. They were all screwed. Johnson would never get the money he so desperately needed now. "Do they have funds hidden anywhere or is everyone just shit out of luck?" Eliot demanded. Now he really wanted to hit someone.
Parker said "No underwriter!" "Wait a minute, let me check something on the computer." Parker remembered seeing a file that looked out of place named Benjamin Prosperity. No other files had more than a letter followed by numbers. Parker clicked on the file and a bunch of code started scrolling on her screen. "Alec, are you getting this?" Parker asked as she sent the files. "Is this what think it is?" she asked.
Hardison nodded as the data came in. "Yeah, I'm getting it." He scanned over the information Parker sent, and his eyes widened. "Damn," he whispered as the data continued to scroll. "Yeah, uhhh, it is exactly what you think it is Parker. Right there is the thang we are looking for, right there. From what I can see these numbers here," he pointed to the screen, "are account numbers." He looked over at Eliot as he spoke, knowing Parker could hear him through her com. "Looks like Mr. Ass Grab took the premiums paid by the employees and stashed them in these accounts in the Cayman Islands." He continued looking. "Oh hell, no. No, no no. FailSafe never once paid one penny in insurance premiums to any insurance company. Instead every dime, every single dime allotted for insurance, went straight into Ass Grab's pocket."

Parker's Sick Day (Parker, Hardison and Eliot)
Alec and Eliot walk in and see Parker on the couch under a blanket. " I don't feel good guys." Parker said sneezing and coughing. "Eliot will you make me some tea ad Alec will you check my temperature, please?" I want to watch this movie with you guys. Will you sit and watch it with me, pretty please? Parker asked with a pitiful look in her eyes.
"Yeah, man, then he hit that three run homer in the bottom of the twelfth and that was all she wrote. It was epic, man, just epic. Oh hey, Baby." Alec said as they walked in talking with Eliot, but then he noticed Parker on the sofa. Hardison heard her coughing and sneezing as he walked over to her and felt her forehead. Sure enough it was warm. "Ahhh, hell, Parker, I'm sorry you're sick and of course I'll take your temperature." He walked into the kitchen, picked up the ear thermometer, and went back to her. "Lend me an ear." He said with a grin, and when she tilted her head up he took her temperature. He frowned when he saw the reading. "101.5, Baby Girl, you are definitely sick. Of course I'll watch this movie with you." He said with a smile, not even knowing what movie she wanted to watch. "Let's get you something for that fever and then we'll watch whatever one you want, right Eliot?"
Eliot had a bottle of water in his hand and was picturing the sweet ending of that game when he heard Parker's very nasally voice. Uh oh, that did not sound good at all. "Tea coming right up." Eliot veered toward the kitchen. He would make her some chamomile with honey, which always seemed to make her feel better. Then he registered the movie part of her request. Oh hell no! Not a movie. Eliot rarely sat and watched movies to begin with, but he knew Parker and it would be some stupid ass horror thing that she liked to watch with Hardison. Eliot's head whipped around when heard Hardison volunteer him to watch movies as well. Dammit Hardison! The hacker had just thrown him under the bus. There would be hell to pay for that. Eliot glared at Hardison as he brought the tea into Parker. "Try this."
"Thank you, Eliot" said Parker as she reached for the tea. She took the medicine Alec had brought to her. "You guys are so sweet to me." Parker grabbed a tissue as she sneezed and she coughed in Eliot's direction. "Sorry about that" Parker said as she cleared her throat. "Alec will you put the movie in, please?" Alec placed the DVD in the player and pushed play. "Come on you two and sit on either side of me" she said patting the couch this time coughing on Alec. "Sorry"
" I think you will enjoy this movie. It just came out and it's has action and adventure." The previews began to roll and most of them were childrens movies. Alec and Eliot looked at each other as the movie began to play. "Uh uh, you promised to watch it with me" Parker said as both men attempted to get up. She snuggled up under her blanket between Eliot and Alec with her box of tissues, smiling all the while.
Hardison shook his head and he looked over at Eliot when the movie started. Tangled? Oh hell, man, she wanted them to watch a movie about some young girl with magical hair? This was gonna be good, not like the goodness of goodiness, but good as in…aww, hell he couldn't explain it. He laid his arm on the back of the sofa and stretched out his legs in front of him. The opening credits had just started when Alec realized he didn't have any popcorn. A man knows that a movie cannot be watched without popcorn, so he kissed Parker on the head. "Baby, I'm gonna go make some popcorn. Eliot, Parker you guys want anything? Soda, water, beer, Jack?"
Damn, man, you scare me when you do that!
Damn, man, you scare me when you do that!
An artful blunder (Eliot, Hardison, Nate and Sophie)
The flight was a bit of one and once it landed,Nate was feeling completely Jet lagged.He had to admit though it felt good to be back in Portland,the night air felt fresh and familiar to him.Glancing to over to his fiance he smiled."Home sweet home,let's head to the brewery and then if the old apartment is still ours we can rest off this jet lag." Renting a car he got their luggage loaded up and then headed for the brewery.Once they were there he helped Sophie out the car and stared at the building for a few moments before heading inside opening the door first.The pub seemed quiet and that was another sign that something had gone wrong."The back,I bet we can find them there." Leading the way he found himself staring at everything they had left."okay." He said quietly before calling for them."Hardison? Eliot?"
As soon as they landed she could feel the cool air that was so typical of Portland, at least she was happy that it wasn't raining, as they headed to the car that he had rented she buckled up and nodded at Nate's plan, they would head to the brewery first and then head to the apartment and get some rest because for what they were told she had a feeling that Eliot and Hardison had left a bit of a messy job for them to fix, not that she wasn't up to the challenge or wasn't looking forward to it. Once they arrived at the pub, she thanked Nate as he helped her out and together they walked inside the pub, it came that familiar feeling all over again and of course things were as they had left, she looked at Nate and followed him to the backroom but when they found it empty she raised an eyebrow and looked at her fiance.
He heard them coming into the back room and called out from his office, "In here." Eliot had gone home and gotten cleaned up, taken some down time for himself. He had gone over the con several times in his head and as is usually the case with hindsight he could come up with a hundred things they could have done better. He had only returned to the pub a short while ago, expecting Nate and Sophie. It was really good to see them again, as they came in the door, he stood up from his chair. "Nate." He nodded once and then a true smile as he saw Sophie as well. "Sophie." Much as he hated the circumstances, he was still very glad to see his friends.
He saw them come into the pub on the security camera and he hung his head for a moment. Alec hadn't realized until now how glad he was to see them, it just sucked that his screw up had caused it. With a sigh Hardison got up and walked towards the back of the pub. Might as well get it over with. There was gonna be hell to pay worse than the time he printed the church bulletins in a combination of French, Spanish, and Italian. Damn, he hadn't been able to sit down for a week after that little incident. Then there was the time he switched the mayor's power point presentation with Babes in Boots 7. Man that had been worth it. But right now, those things didn't matter. They were in trouble, he had screwed up, and once again Nate and Sophie had to come in and clean up after him. He smiled as he walked in. "Nate, Sophie. How the hell are you two anyway? Lookin' good, as al-ways." He nodded at them both as he said quietly. "Uhhh, thanks for coming. I screwed up big time. Huge. As in the hugeness of hugienss."
