It was a normal morning for the Four Horsemen. They all sat crowded around their shared table, Jack and Lula on one side, Daniel and Merritt on the other. Merritt was busy with his scone picked up by Jack on that morning's coffee run. Each of the four always got the same thing; Merritt his scone(he didn't like coffee, which Jack would never understand), Danny his pure black caffeine (always brewed by Jack when the slight returned due to the fact that the cafe served no such thing), Lula her peppermint mocha with extra whip(Jack wondered what would happen to the addicted girl in January). He, himself, though always the one on the early morning food runs, never got a thing. He didn't believe in breakfast and was never really that hungry anyways.
Merritt sat up suddenly, leaning forward until his nose was touching Lula's. "You should really get that tooth checked out if it hurts that bad"
"go away!" she stood up, and out came snickers of Jack and the glares between the other two. Just then the door opened revealing Dylan Rhodes, who hadn't even bothered to knock. the house was half a mile from any trace of civilization, and no one came out here but him.
"Actually Lula, if it does hurt I can bring you in to the doctor's. The Eye needs the other three for a mission anyways. I'll put you in." Out came a smartphone and Dylan started tapping.
"Thanks but I'm fine, but why do the others have a mission without me? Where are they going to get their feminine... flair?" She tossed some of her hair off her right shoulder, much to the amusement of two chuckling boys and a slap from an amused Daniel.
"I think they'll be fine, Lula. I have an old friend to help with this one"
"Who?" a certain slight asked, not to Dylan but to the bald with his hands pressed into his temples. The mentalist was halfway through shrugging when a voice came from the doorway and four heads turned to face it.
"me, I think" first the four caught sight of the red hair, then the black gloves moving the almost-curls away from her face."hello boys." the two words were said and that was when they all just knew who was speaking.
"Henley!" three males rushed up at varying paces to give her a hug while two female eyes stared timidly at the redhead who had appeared. Henley spoke first.
"Hi, you must be Lula. I'm Henley" The escape artist used her skills to remove herself from the hugs, high fives, and fist bumps comeing at her from all directions.
"Hi." The two shook hands.
"Don't worry, I'll take great care of the three of them" The geek artist mirrored Henley's grin.
"I trust you will"
Dylan had to break things up. "alright Lula, you can stay here. Boys pack your bags and be back here in ten minutes." The ex-cop received a tap on the shoulder fromn a gloved hand. Lookingf into Henley's eyes, he sighed. "Yes, you may use the restroom. Now split!" five sets of feet started to move. Three ran upstairs, one stalked to the table in a huff, and one walked a few feet before stoping and turning around, heels clicking on the wood planked floor. "second door on the right." Rhodes instructed. The final pair of feet resumed walking. "Ten minutes!"
Thirty munutes later, all the boys had what they needed and were standing in the driveway, with enough bags to board an airplane and need to check nothing. "this should make getting everything in back easy! Good job boys." They were proud until they actually opened the trunck of the five seater. Henley's bags, all uniform, were stacked almost to the roof of the car. "Then again, maybe not."
(page break)
Once they had gotten the bag situation figued out, The four had all menaged to get their lager bags kin the trunk but also were buried in Henley's smaller bags. The magitians in back, Marrit then Jack, Then Daniel behind Henley were all holding backpacks or purses. The window-sitters each had a medium sized suitcase under their feet. Dylan was driving, so he had nothing but a flowerprint purse slung over one shoulder and Henley was holding... Nothing.
"so why are we switching houses agian?" Daniel asked, Dylan answered willingly.
"Because we are meetying up with a person who will help you with your mission. One of them will be living with you for the forseeable future, so please be nice."
"are you going to tell usd anything about them? like names... ages... genders?" Henley this time.
"Sorry guys, I don't know any of that stuff. They just sent mee to pick you all up. Three sets of eyes turned to Merritt, who stared unblinking at the back of Dylan's head.
"truth. I guess we have to wait and see who mystery man is."
"yeah, yeah." Danny. "Just wait and see"
