Chapter 8: The Bank (Part 1)

"Hey!" Henley called out to the other sleeping horsemen. The storms last night were so unforgiving, Henley didn't get a wink of sleep. On the other hand, the boys all slept so soundly that they didn't even respond to her call. Henley huffed with annoyance, "We got another letter from THE EYE!"
Thankfully, all three men rushed to the living room. Daniel rubbed his eyes tiredly and stifled a yawn. "What's it say?"
"Good morning, Horsemen. Congradulations on successfully persuading your benefactor to join you. The next step in this mission is to steal the money. Below are directions as to how." Henley spoke clearly, careful to read every last printed word in the directions.
"Quite articulate," Merritt muttered after Henley finished speaking. Jack and Daniel were quite for a few moments.
"Let's get to work, I guess," Jack finally spoke up.
"Merritt," Daniel began instructing.
"Yes mother?" Merritt smirked, winking at Henley who in turn giggled.
Daniel just ignored them, "Go work your magic and get us some disguises. Uh, police man for you and factory clothes for Henley and myself."
"What about me?" Jack questioned tiredly, looking upset about being left out of the conversation.
"You need to follow the truck Danny and I are in," Henley explained to him. "You get a van for us to put the money in. Also go get the flash paper money at the address in the letter. That's where THE EYE left it for us. Some storage locker, I'm guessing."
Jack perked up, now knowing he wasn't completely left out.
"And BREAK!" Merritt exclaimed enthusiastically.
Merritt and Jack got dressed quickly and left to do their assigned jobs. Daniel and Henley were left in the hotel room to do research on where the money is and what times it will be delivered while Merritt got their disguises.
Henley sat at the table with her 3 laptops, trying to hack into the bank's database while Daniel laid out on the couch writing down notes.
"Hey, Henley?" Daniel began slowly, still contemplating whether or not they are ready for this conversation.
"Yes Danny?" Henley sighed.
"Look," he continued, watching her work quickly, her long red hair cascading down her shoulders. This was the first time they were alone in the same room since Henley ran off and started her own career. Daniel just shook his head to try and push away the nerves. "Uh- remember when we were kids? And when our families became too much to handle, and you and me would meet up in the woods and play cards in our fort?"
Daniel noticed a smile creep onto Henley's face, "Yeah. What about it?" She replied softly, still not turning
"Oh! Uh- nothing. I just miss how simple everything was." Daniel spoke quickly, trying not to stutter like he does when he's nervous.
Henley sighed, glancing over at the boy she had a huge crush on when they were growing up, "Me too. You were less of a control freak then."
Daniel found himself laughing, "And you were nicer to me back then!"
"With age comes bitchyness." Henley says matter I factly, trying to contain her laughter.
Everything felt at least a little back to normal between the two, besides the fact that they were going to be stealing about 3 million dollars' worth in euros.
