Moreau's Revenge - 001
Twelve men to take a single person into custody. To anyone else, it would have seemed like overkill, but these men were not here to collect any ordinary man. They were collecting Eliot Spencer. The mistake most people made in facing the Hitter of the Leverage team was in underestimating him. Even twelve men seemed too small a number. These men should have been aware of that fact. If they had been, they would not have been looking quite so confident and fearless. No. They would have reconsidered, perhaps, going along on this mission. How hard could picking up a single man be? Sure, his reputation had filtered down to them. They had to be exaggerations. Like a boogeyman of criminals. Fools and weak fighters who fell to him, embellishing the details of their encounter.
Whatever the case, there was more on the table than manpower for this encounter. A little girls life held in the balance. Dependent on Eliot's cooperation with the well-trained thugs sent to pick him up, like the goods of another crime executed. It was a low thing to do, blackmailing and threatening their way to Eliot Spencer's weakness. Then again. They were criminals.
