Disclaimer: I don't own Angel the series, or Leverage, I'm just using them for some unprofitable fun. I also don't own “Sweet Home Alabama”.

vid of Christian Kane and Andy Hallet singing “Sweet Home Alabama” at con which sort of inspired this.
Summary: Parker finds Lindsey between the seasons.
Word Count: 338
Parker sat in the back row of the auditorium at the Tropicana. She was enjoying the show and didn't want to call the attention of the man on stage to herself until after the performance. She was here to get Lindsey to Boston to see the rest of the team.
“Big wheels keep on turning
Carry me home to see my kin”
Lindsey started to sing and the was joined by his green skinned friend. Parker remembered Lorne as being more of a show tunes guy from the last time she saw the show but she liked the rock that Lindsey added. She clapped and sang along, with the rest of the audience, on the chorus.
“Sweet home Alabama
Where the skies are so blue
Sweet home Alabama
Lord, I'm coming home to you”
Parker staid in her seat after everyone else had left. She got up and sneaked into Lindsey's dressing room.
“Hey stranger,” Parker said as sneaked up on him.
Lindsey dropped the shirt he had been about to change into. “Parker, what are you doing here?”
“I'm here to fetch you to Boston,” Parker said as she made herself comfortable on the small sofa that was the only place to sit besides the director's chair in front of the mirror.
“Why Boston?” Lindsey asked as he picked up the shirt.
“Sophie is in a production of the Sound of Music,” Parker explained. “She mentioned she didn't know where to send your ticket. I said I knew where you were and would give it to you.”
“Do you have to?” Lindsey asked as he inwardly winced at the thought of Sophie adding singing to her acting.
“Yes,” Parker said.
“What kind of inducement can you offer?” Lindsey asked as he met her eyes in the mirror.
“I think I can think of something,” Parker offered.
“Alright, I'll go,” Lindsey agreed. “When do we go?”
“Tomorrow at 10 in the morning,” Parker said. “Be out front then.” Parker slipped out as silently as she had sneaked in.
