Parker can't explain it—how, after years of working on her own, of trusting no one, she came to trust her little family. How she and Eliot and Hardison all work as a unit better than they ever worked alone—and they were all damn good when they worked alone.

But being unable to explain it doesn't make it any less true, and she trusts her boys as much as—maybe more than—herself, to the point that when Hardison says I have an exit and Eliot says I'm on my way, she's already heading to where they tell her without a second thought.
