Leverage, any, they spend their lives looking over their shoulders

Normally, it isn't so bad. There is strength in numbers, as the old saying goes, but there is also security, and they trust each other enough to know that their backs are thoroughly watched.
But Parker sometimes feels eyes on her just after she's finished one of her rare solo thefts. Hardison gets the feeling that someone's following him through cyberspace, scrubbing evidence of themselves away before his security checks can find them. Men will eye Nate up while he sips his scotch in the bar, looking away once he starts paying them attention. The check-out girl who flirted with Eliot yesterday startles around him today. A mark will take an extra second to buy Sophie's story, narrowing their eyes at her as if they know something.
For a few moments, they remember what it was like to have no protection other than their own wits and luck. They have made bigger enemies now, but at least they're not alone anymore.
