Author: Maeve Bran
Fandom: Leverage
Rated: PG 13 (a little strong language)
Disclaimer: I don't own Angel the series, or Leverage, I'm just using them for some unprofitable fun.
Notes: Set after 1.10 of Leverage “The Juror #6 Job”.
Summary: Lindsey gives legal advice to Hardison.
Word Count: 308
“Why can't Lindsey do it?” Hardison asked. “He has after all actually been to law school.”
“I've told you why. If you had pissed off the Senior Partners even a little you'd understand,” Lindsey said.
“I don't get it. Why are you afraid of some lawyers? They're just people,” Hardison said.
“They aren't just people. They are inter dimensional beings. Very powerful ones. My rival at the firm was killed and they still held her to her perpetuity clause of her contract,” Lindsey said.
“They have contracts that extend after death?” Hardison asked. “Did you sign one?”
“Yes,” Lindsey answered. “Why do think I'm so anxious to stay off their radar? The contract is ironclad. No way out. I found mystical means to hide from them but I show myself in a court room and all that hard work is gone. I'm relocated to the Hell dimension of their choosing. Only to be let out when they need me for some errand and then back I go. No thanks. I'm not going there.”
Hardison digests that for a minute. “Right. I wouldn't either,” Hardison agrees. “But does staying off the radar mean you can't coach me right here on being a lawyer?”
Lindsey thinks for a moment. “Should work.”
“Great. Teach me,” Hardison said as he bowed, mockingly before Lindsey.
“Fine. Come in to my office,” Lindsey said as he led the way.
An hour later, they emerged from the office.
“Think you can handle that?” Lindsey asked one last time.
“I think I've got it. What you taught me and my usual gift of gab should do fine.” Hardison agreed.
“Remember, look at the jury and win them over with your personality and stall. When in doubt stall,” Lindsey advised.
“Stall. Got it,” Hardison replied as he headed out the door for his first day of court.
