This is my first fanfic in a LONG time and my first one about Leverage. Feedback would be appreciated….be gentle though. LOL!

CHAPTER ONE

Parker pulled up in front of her house. Sighing, she put the car in park and turned off the engine. The team had just gotten back from a week long job in Seattle where they had helped a family get their life savings back from a corrupt mortgage company. In the end, she and Eliot had had to "rescue" their other team members.

Pulling the keys out of the ignition, she opened the door and got out. She smiled as she thought about how close the team had gotten over the short time. She was beginning to think of them as friends…..maybe even more like family. She stopped short.

Where had that idea come from?! She thought. Maybe Eliot is right..... Maybe there is something wrong with me.

Getting her gear out of the trunk, she yawned.

I can't wait to get something to eat and take a nice long bath. Parker thought, jogging up the short flight of stairs to her house.

She grabbed her mail and unlocked her door. She walked into the foyer and dropped her bag and mail on the floor. Disarming and then resetting her alarm, she toed off her shoes and left them by the door. Not turning on any lights, she walked through the house into the bathroom and found her favorite bubble bath, pouring some into the tub as the water ran warm. She rummaged through her drawers until she found her pajamas and then found the remote for her TV. Wandering back into the living room to grab her mail, she noticed something different. Reaching for the light by the door, she flipped it on and saw something that made her stomach drop.

What the….what the hell was that doing there on the couch?! The voice in her head screamed.

She reached down to pick up the small doll that was laying on her couch.

"Hello there." A voice behind her said roughly.

That was the last thing Parker heard before she hit the floor.
