She reaches for the phone, blindly. It is still very early." Hello." She says. "Good morning, Sylvia." The person says. "I am closing in on them. Are you following them as well?" They ask. "You know that I am." She replies. "Good, keep doing so, and I will see you in about a week." They tell her, before hanging g up.
She gets up and gets ready for the day. She takes her time in the shower. Not sure, she is ready for the changes, which are to occur. For so long, it's been only her and her guardian. And now, it seems there are to be four other people. And the woman he seems to be falling for. Not that she holds ill will toward any of them.
She approaches the seat she had paid for, lowering herself toward it. She leans back into her chair as the lights dim. The four appear on stage, and talk as they perform their tricks. She gets up and leaves as their benefactor is tackled. Knowing what she could do is better, than the four of them combined, if she so wanted.
She is watching from across the street when she sees her mentor enter the building. She accesses the cameras, she had put in the apartment. She sees as her mentor and Wilder duke it out. She can't help, but laugh when he pulls cards out. The youngest of the group is definitely interesting. She starts walking down the street parallel to the man. This continues for awhile, before she stops by the car.
A man steps out. "It's been years…" She says. "Your father sent for me." He replies, answering her unanswered question. She gets in. He closes the door. "How are you, by the way?" She asks, when he is once more in the driver's seat. "I'm good. I'd ask how you have been, but your father has informed me, already." He says. "Since, he sent for you; I am taking it that you are at my disposal. I need you to follow that man." She says, pointing out. She gets into the backseat and changes.
They witness the car chase and the kid's supposed death. He follows the man, after noticing the switch. The man finally stops in a deserted street, getting out. He approaches them. The driver quickly gets out. "Why are you following me?" He asks. She gets out, and turns her voice changer on. Her face concealed. "We are here to help. Get in. We will take you to where you want to go." She informs him. "Why are you doing this?" He questions. "You have friends in high places." She responds, as he gets in the vehicle.
She had dropped Wilder off. And had told her friend to watch over and help him, until everything is over. She has been following the rest of the group; watching as they set everything up for their final show. Taking great and enough precautions to conceal herself from them. She falls asleep there, only to jerk awake hours later.
She looks around, realizing she has been asleep for hours now. The sun is going down. She slowly rises, looking out the window seeing them enter once more. She continues to wait. Knowing that as soon as the sun goes down, the real fun will begin. Her current chauffer and Wilder are taking care of something else. She starts changing into more appropriate clothing. Attire that will give her more movement, before walking out the door.
She approaches the building, waiting on the outskirts of the crowd. The lights appear as the show starts. She is amazed at the allure they are able to display. But not, the actual feats. She has seen better in her guardian's abilities. To her, there is no other person who can pull off what he has done. Not yet anyway. And maybe not for a long time. A god among insects is the only description that she thinks can render him justice.
She sees him and the officials' approach out of her peripheral vision. She smirks, knowing that their separation is over. The horsemen think they are the best. Not realizing that they are soon going to see a true master at work. She focuses on the three that remain. She moves when they do, as do the authorities.
She pulls her phone out, answering it. "We accomplished it, just as he instructed us to. They have paid for their transgressions." The person says. "We, thank you. You can return to your life. There is no longer need to entangle yourself in our complications. And send the boy, he will wish to meet him." She says. "Helping you two can never be a bother." They reply, before ending their call.
She enters the garage. He turns when he hears the sound of her shoes. "Who are you?" He asks. She stops and crosses her hands in front of her. "That is no concern of yours. All that matters is that you and Mr. Tressler are paying for the sins of your pasts, Mr. Bradley." She says as the sirens are coming closer.
"You will be implicating yourself, also." He replies. His trunk opens to reveal the stolen money. She smiles. "But, that is refutable. I was never here. You on the other hand, are going to want to explain how you acquired what is in your vehicle. Enjoy the rest of your life in prison." He turns to see what she is talking about. He turns back around, to question her, only to see she is gone.
He walks down the corridor, approaching one of the men responsible for his lost childhood. "It was you." The man says. "Yes." He answers. He talks to his scapegoat for a little longer. "I, take it she's your protégé. The apple hasn't fallen far from the tree." The man tells his accuser. The official displays a genuine smile. "She is remarkable, isn't she." He states. "It's too bad, she can't see it. And beyond my achievements." He says, before turning and walking away. "WHY? TELL ME WHY?" Bradley screams.
They approach the gate. And are accompanied by Jack, who opens it for them. They are nearing the carousel when they see him. They are shocked and amazed at who has been orchestrating the entire thing. He and Danny have their discussion. Dylan explains about The Eye. Stopping midway. "You can come out now." He addresses the person.
The person starts walking out of the shadows, at his command. The Four Horsemen are greeted to a woman. She remains quiet. The men giving her appreciative glances. She is reminiscent of how, they have pictured the woman of their dreams breathed into life, to be. Each has never seen a woman this attractive before.
"This is my apprentice. Welcome to The Eye." He says as he steps on the carousel. She follows him, with the others behind her. The Horsemen are unable to contain their excitement. It spins for awhile as they disappear in the process. Not knowing, that while one chapter may be over for them. Another more dire, and with more heartbreak they are prepared for will be upon them, before they know it.
