Summary: Parker and Sophie have different ideas on how to relate to trick or treaters.

 

The doorbell rang. Parker opened the door and then stood there, picking a lock, while costumed children sangshouted at her, “Trick or treat. Smell my feet. Give me something good to eat.”

 

“What do you want?” she asked.

 

“Candy,” squealed a young girl in a giraffe outfit.

 

Parker studied them for a moment and then held out the lock she'd been working. “If you can pick this lock in under,” she started to say before Sophie grabbed her and yanked her out of the doorway.

 

“Children,” she said graciously as she held out a bowl of candy.

 

As the kids walked away, two of them looked back suspiciously. “She did too ask us to pick a lock,” Spider Man told a rotting corpse.

 

Back inside the house, an angry Sophie tore into Parker. “Pick this lock? Are you trying to blow our cover? We talked about this after you taught Theresa's daughter to pick a lock. Normal people don't do that.”

 

“I've found it to be a very useful skill,” Parker said. She turned and walked towards the back room, still locking and then picking the lock.

 

“This conversation isn't over,” Sophie shouted at her back. The doorbell rang again.

*giggles* That was cute...and yes Parker would want the kids to pick locks or do something slightly...off for lack of a better word.

Thank you. Appreciate hearing I got a character right since this weekend was my first time writing in the Leverage verse.

I've read your other stuff...you seem to have a good grasp. I'm just kinda lazy about commenting sometimes.

Thank you. Good to hear I'm getting the characters since I haven't finished watching the first season yet. Currently watching commentary on disk 2 before going onto disk 3 - not the best way to do it if you want to avoid spoilers. Oops.

Welcome...glad to help. Yes, they tend to do spoilers on the commentaries...might not want to watch anymore until you finish the season. If you're interested in Season 2...I might be able to help you find them...

Actually, the spoilers haven't spoiled anything for me too much yet. Although I guess I do know some stuff I shouldn't. Hmm, sort of like Babylon 5 for me. I started at the end of season 2 and watched through the end of the series before I caught any of season 1. So, first time through the first season, I knew where everything was going. Actually, you're right. I should skip the commentary until I've finished the season.

I had thought season 2 of Leverage was already out on DVD. Drat. My computer connection is really slow, dial up through a modem, don't ask, so I'll probably have to wait for them to come out on DVD.

Oh, Parker! Hey, why should kids get candy for nothing?

[dragonyphoenix.livejournal.com]

Good question. I give them candy because they dress up, and are all so adorable, and because it's my favorite holiday. And possibly because I got lots of free candy as a kid too.

Poor Parker! Now I'm imagining her stealing Halloween candy!

OK, now I'm just laughing. Already wrote that.
