Author: Maeve Bran
Fandom: Leverage
Rated: PG 13 for a little bad language.
Disclaimer: I don't own Angel the series, or Leverage, I'm just using them for some unprofitable fun.
Notes: Set durring 2.3of Leverage “The Order 23 Job”.
Summary: Lindsey contemplates his past.
Word Count: 359
Lindsey changed into the scrubs the con demanded and thought, “This is not the life I thought I was going to lead.” Not that this was a bad thing he was helping people but not in the self righteous way that Angel Investigations had done. And not in the way he had thought in his more idealistic days in law school. Back then he had wanted to save the world through defending the innocent and making sure the guilty got no more time than the law absolutely required. He had believed in justice and fair punishment without violating anyones rights.
But that was before Holland Manners had recruited him to Wolfram and Hart. Then he came to believe in getting his client off through any means necessary and that only the people who could afford the firm deserved to be vigorously defended. Lindsey had been good at his job and ignoring his conscience. He had been so good at it that by the time Angel had cut off his hand he had forgotten what a conscience was. It was only the incident with the evil replacement hand that got him thinking about how far he had come from the small town in the Bible Belt he had been raised in.
Lindsey had left to find himself and a way to get out of the perpetuity clause of his contract. That search had led him around the world and back. He had ended up at Wolfram and Hart working for Angel in that final fight. He had thought that was a long way from where he had started.
Now here he was, pulling a con on a man he would have defended, if he still worked for his old firm. Life was strange. Lindsey knew he was returning to his roots of helping the innocent and the victims, but in the weirdest way possible. He was breaking the laws he had once swore to uphold and meting out justice. Life was strange.
Lindsey shook himself out of his musing s and joined the rest of the gang in the charade that would pronounce Sophie dead to scare the newest target.
