Collateral Damage

After Dani Freeman left the Leverage crew behind her, she had intended on starting over. A new identity, a new life, a chance for something different. But the past can never be forgotten and sometimes it comes slamming down around you. An old job comes back to haunt her when David Petrova starts hunting down everyone involved in the takeover of a multi-million dollar company from nearly ten years ago. Bringing together the team of criminals to figure out a way to escape his deadly reach, something made harder by the fact that none of them trust each other. Now the four man crew has to find a way to survive Petrova’s attack and each other.



DANI FREEMAN

“Security and Extraction Specialist”

An army brat born and raised, her father treated her more like a soldier than a daughter. She began combat training and shooting lessons at an early age. She was an ideal student soaking up the knowledge quickly and efficiently and her father was sure that she would go far in the army, just like him. But Dani had always had a rebellious streak and when her father found out about the things she was doing behind his back, he kicked her out of the house. Left to her own devices, Dani made a career out of her young and innocent face and expertise with a gun. She’s often called in when a more subtle approach is needed to get a job done, while not a con artist she can play the part when needed. After the rejection from her father, she found it difficult to trust others. Doing her job only making her harder and more unwilling to trust. While loyal to clients, she finds it hard to extend her loyalty to anyone else. She’s been doing the job for years now but after her time spent with the team at Leverage she had begun to think she could actually get out of the life, have a real life. But David Petrova threw a wrench into those plans and she resents that more than him trying to kill her. She was used to men trying to do that after all.





COLE GELLAR
“Con-Man”

The bad boy of the group, he’ll con you out of your money, your home, and anything else that he might be interested in and still convince you to sleep with him. Cole was a born con-man, starting out in grade school when he convinced other kids to risk their lunch money for rigged bets. From there his crimes grew and grew until he was conning the powerful and rich out of their fortunes. He doesn’t get along well with the rest of the crew, his attitude rubbing them the wrong way and often has leads to Dani threatening to shoot him. He and Dani had a past relationship while working on a previous job. She just wants to forget about it. He likes to remind her of it every time they meet.



LUCAS GREEN
“Thief and forger”

Lucas fell into a life of crime. He ran away from home as a teenager, leaving behind an abusive father and an alcoholic mother and never looked back. He was forced to lie and steal to survive, until he stumbled upon a group of thieves that ran jobs together. As soon as he learned all they had to offer, he broke out on his own, planning his own jobs. He prefers to work alone and the idea of being stuck with the rest of the crew indefinitely is painful for him. He’s constantly on the verge of leaving, but stays out of a loyalty to Dani for alerting him of David’s plans.



IAN TRACEY
“Hacker”

Ian grew up like most of the people he now steals from. Incredibly rich and with too much time on his hand as a teenager, he found himself able to hack into the school records and able to change his, and anyone else who was willing to pay for it, grades. His hacking skills continued to blossom as he got older and he found himself taking more and more risks, enjoying the adrenaline rush he got whenever he snuck past a powerful firewall and into a government protected program. While he’s still well known throughout the criminal world, he was still able to hold on to his ties in the world he grew up in and is considered a well respected, though slightly eccentric, businessman. Now with David coming after them, he was forced to go into hiding which is made slightly more difficult considering there are people other than David looking for him.



DAVID PETROVA
“The Billionaire”

Now the head of a multi-billion dollar company, David Petrova hired the team to force the takeover of a multi-million dollar company that was unwilling to sell to him ten years ago. Now he’s receiving cryptic messages about what was done and is being blackmailed into giving someone monthly payments of huge sums to keep their mouths shut. Believing the only people who know about what happened were the crew he hired, he’s trying to take them out one by one. David’s ruthless in business and hates to lose and he’s going to do whatever it take to find the crew and find out who the blackmailer really is.



ALEXANDRIA PETROVA
“The Billionaire’s Wife”

While she seen from the outside as the kind, dotting wife, Alexandria is just as dangerous as her husband. Very little is known about her before she met and married her husband. Though she often plays dumb, she’s quite intelligent and is fully integrated into her husband’s business, even the less than legal parts. She’s is the first person that David has ever trusted completely, though she doesn’t deserve that trust. While working on the job ten years ago, she had an affair with Cole and thought that she meant something to him, only to find out that he was conning her the whole time. Now she’s not just out for revenge for her husband, she’s out for revenge for herself. And while her husband is concentrating on finding the whole crew, Alexandria is focused on finding and killing Cole Gellar. Even if it means that her husband won’t get the answers he’s looking for.
