Traveling through the streets of Boston, the young girl scoped out her surroundings. She never lifted people that looked poor, only people who looked like they had plenty of money to spare, people who wouldn't go under if they lost their wallet. She spotted her target, a man with long hair and dark eyes, a plaid shirt and scruffy jeans. People's eyes passed over him, people didn't see behind the exterior. But she knew what he was. He was a hitter, and a good one at that. She could tell by his stance, the way he carried himself, the way his eyes flickered around, taking in everything around him. A smile curling at her lips, she sashayed towards him. I'm always up for a challenge.

She didn't make it too obvious of course; she didn't go strait towards him. She weaved in and out of the crowd, bumping into several people but not lifting anything. She didn't want to cause any panic-yet.

She met the hitter's eyes briefly and smiled slightly at him, a twinge of panic running through her when she saw up close who it was. Eliot Spencer. Crap. Eliot-freaking-Spencer. She was such an idiot. But it was too late to back out now. She never backed out of a challenge. If worst came to worst, he would corner her and make her give the wallet back. She brushed shoulders with him and fished her fingers in his pocket, dragging the wallet out swiftly and stuffing it up her jacket.

He didn't feel a thing.

Letting a wide grin spread across her face, she struggled not to break into a jog so she could get to a location to check the wallet. She couldn't wait to get to the orphanage today.

The look on the children's faces as she walked in the door was priceless. Their eyes lit up because they knew her, and they knew that she brought money with her, something they desperately needed. "Kenzi!" They cried, swarming around her, pulling at her legs and hugging her. "Kenzi Kenzi look what we did!" Several of the girls cried, pulling at her hands. "Come see our art!" Kenzi shot a grin towards the Headmaster Lauren and tossed the packet of money towards her. "Here you go Laur, it's all there. It should be enough for the next month." Lauren smiled at her and waved in thanks as the children tugged at the young women.

Scooping several of them up to balance them on her hip, she let out a chuckle. "I'm coming you knuckle heads slow down. Now tell me about this art…."

"What do you mean she took it from you? Your Eliot, no one takes anything from you man?" Hardison snapped. "Hey man she was pretty I wasn't paying attention-"

"Oh so pretty girls distract you. Pretty girls can just take our wallet and you don't notice? At all? Really man? You're a hitter you're supposed to notice this stuff." The hacker teased, making sure to stay out of the hitter's reach, not wanting to take his chances. "Just, track the wallet." Eliot growled. "Who says I can track it?" Fixing him with a look, Eliot cracked his knuckles menacingly. "I can track t course I can track why would I not be able to track it?" Hardison stuttered, his voice raising several octaves.

Hiding a smug smirk, Eliot turned towards the screen. "Well man I found it but it looks like it's at…..a um….. An orphanage. Oh wait- wait it's moving its leaving-yeah it stopped she dumped it. It's over by- or you can just leave. Yeah. Bye! Your welcome! Gosh nobody every thanks Hardison, Hardison does everything but nobody thanks Hardison." His voice died off into a series of mumbles.

On his way out eh door, Eliot just rolled his eyes. Typical Hardison.

On her way back to her apartment, Kenzi stiffened suddenly. Someone had been following her for the last 2 blocks. Crap. She didn't dare speed up. One doesn't just run from Eliot Spencer. But now she couldn't go back to her apartment because she didn't want this man to know where she lived! Closing her eyes slightly, she headed down an ally. Might as well get it over with.

As she turned to face Spencer, she was surprised to see a group of men surrounding her. "How nice of you to join us pretty lady."

"Now listen, I'm just coming down her to meet my friend-" she started, catching Spencer's eyes over one of the men's shoulder. The man turned around and Eliot sunk into the shadows. 'What friend?" he smirked. The five closed in around her, and Kenzi lashed out, refusing to go down without a fight-She had to keep her twin safe she couldn't let her step-father hurt her too- they reached towards her, grabbing at her arms- she swung out, knocking him down before grabbing her blonde-headed twin and running, running as fast as she could to get away from him- but suddenly there was only one man standing in front of her, a very angry looking man and Kenzi had to remind herself not to feel relived.

In fact, she was probably more scared now then she was before, even if he had just saved her. "Why did you take my money? Why did you lift my wallet?" he growled, cornering her against the wall. "Listen I'm sorry I was just trying to get money for the orphanage so Lauren can support it because I don't want those kids to have to go to abusive homes like me and my sister did and please I'll pay you back I swear-"

"Who's your sister?" he cut off gruffly, inspecting her with an odd look, almost as if he recognized her. "Her real name or the name she goes by?" Kenzi asked coolly, crossing her arms. "The name she goes by." He spat out. "Parker." Kenzi replied. "My twin's name is Parker."

"When did you plan on telling us?" Eliot snarled at Parker, throwing Kenzi in front of the room. Hardison turned from his game and Sophie and Nate actually stopped arguing to see what was going on. "Oh my god, oh my god Zi Zi!" The blonde bounced towards the girl in the front of the room, catching Kenzi in a tight hug. "I thought I'd never see you again!" Parker cried.

"Does somebody want to explain what the hell is going on?" Nate snapped. The to girls straitened up and faced the rest of the team, and now that they were side-by-side Eliot could see the resemblance. They were completely identical besides the hair. Parker had blonde, Kenzi a dark brown. Maybe Kenzi had higher cheekbones and Parker's nose was a little bit longer but other then that, they were very obviously twins. "How come you never told us Parker?" Sophie asked, sounding hurt. Looking a bit cornered, she glanced at her sister her nodded encouragingly. "I-I didn't want anyone to know because I didn't want her to get tracked. I wanted her to stay safe. If no one could connect us, no one could use us against each other." Of all the people there, she hoped Eliot would understand. By the look on his face, he did, but he was probably still pissed about his wallet getting lifted.

"Ok I get that but I still want my money back." Eliot growled, standing up and stomping out of the room, towards the kitchen. "Can she stay with us?" Giving Nate a pleading look, Parker grasped Kenzi's hand. "Please?" Exchanging a look with Sophie who nodded eagerly. "Fine. But if a case comes up she has to help. Having two thief's could be useful." As he turned away, Kenzi called out "I grift too! And dabble in electronics!" Shooting Sophie and Hardison a wide smile, Parker darted away, her sister in tow as she jabbered away about previous cons they'd run and the quirks of the team.

Hardison's curious eyes followed them, and he turned slowly back to his computer. What else is Parker keeping from us?
