Unexpected Sidekick

Chapter 12: Reunited


Jack pushed himself out of a black vehicle, and ran quickly into the warehouse. He could hear angry FBI agents screaming, the sounds echoing through the corridors. Jack paused, hiding behind a corner as a crowd of FBI agents ran past him, shouting into their walkie-talkies to stop a truck. Jack smirked and watched them go past him.

It seemed that they found the empty room where the safe used to be.

Or rather a seemingly empty room.

Seeing that no one was around, Jack straighten up and proceeded to walk down to the warehouse rooms when he heard another pair of footsteps.

"Come on kid."

Cursing, Jack slipped behind the door just as he heard another person sarcastically remark, "Lead the way, chief."

Jack's breath stopped as he recognized the voice. Dana. Jack didn't dare lift his head or even move to see his friend's face, but he could recognize her voice anywhere.

"You know," said the agent, "you're pretty complacent for a girl who is going sent to the bin."

"Well," Dana said, and Jack could just feel the sarcastic shrug, "Might as well make use of what I've got."

Jack stayed silent, although his mind was in shambles. Why was she acting like this? Was she truly a spy as the others said they were?

Did she really betray him?

"Yeah?" the agent asked, "And what is that?"

Suddenly the footsteps stopped.

After a brief pause, a strangled voice rang out,"God. I hope this works."

"What are you ta-WHAT THE HE-mmmph!"

Sounds of pain echoed through the corridors. Jack heard a sharp slap and a cry from Dana before another twang of a piece of metal hitting bone.

"Shhhhhshshsh!" he heard Dana whisper before breathing harshly, "Listen here you little shit. I've really had enough of everyone's crap, so if I were you I would shut up. From now on, whatever I order you will do with upmost obedience. Understood?"

"Yes."

"Good. After we head out of the warehouse, you are going to enter the truck when no one is looking. There, you will cut out a two feet by two feet square into the truck's floor with this," Jack heard Dana say before noisily slapping an item into the agent's hand. "It must be exactly those measurements. DO NOT cut through the floor. I should be able to stand on it without it giving out? Understand?"

"Yes."

"Make sure that no one sees you. Once everyone enters the truck, make sure that no one steps onto the square except me. You will forget this conversation happened. God, I hope this works. I really don't know what would happen if this doesn't work. Please, please!"

Suddenly there was a loud snapping sound and the agent said, "Yeah? And what is that?"

Jack heard Dana say, her voice struggling to remain calm, "Well I got a very nice gentlemen escorting me. How much more do I need?"

"Funny. Let's get out of here."

"Fine by me."

Jack watched as Dana was lead away by the agent. He was worried. That voice didn't sound like Dana. Not. At. All.

He peeked behind the door and saw her silently slip a hand inside the man's pocket and bring out a key. Jack couldn't help but grin widely as she carefully fisted her hand. Now that felt more like what she would do.

Jack watched her go before fishing out his phone and texting Daniel.

Sidekick is back in business.


Dana winced as she hit her head against the floor of the truck. She was lying down in the cobblestone underneath the truck. She could see the feet of the agents surrounding the vehicle, running around panicking. I could do this. Got to keep it together.

She probably had about fifteen seconds before they realized she hadn't really disappeared.

Dana rolled to her left, just as she heard footsteps jump up the truck. Crouching down, she quickly made her way up the truck's front and straightened out right in between the driver's seat and the truck's container just as the agents began to yell out, "There's nothing here!"

Dana did manage to replace the top just as she jumped down with all her might. It was an almost impossible feat for magicians, but not so impossible for girls who had to stuff themselves into little tiny boxes. Henley taught her a thing or two before the whole scheme started.

That was ages ago. Its seemed ages since she was last with her friends. All of them.

Dana held in a gasp.

It was only a few hours since Jack died.

Dana let out a shuddering breath as she desperately tried to keep herself together. She couldn't afford to lose control. She managed to get this far. She managed to get this far without completely breaking down. She couldn't afford to lose control when there were enemies all around her, all trying to break her.

It's what Jack would have wanted. Finish it. To finish this.

She was just glad that Merritt taught her a little about hypnosis and how to do it. She wasn't sure if it would work, but she was glad it did.

She had approximately twenty seconds before one of the men stepped onto the square and fell down to the ground.

Dana checked the area before quickly jumping to the side of the driver's seat. Thankfully, every agent swarmed at the end of the truck, too stupid to check any other parts of the truck immediately. She had trouble holding her balance, since her hands still cuffed. Still, Dana used this time to quickly jump off the truck and run as quickly as she could to one of the alley ways, using the darkness as a cover.

Letting out a breath, Dana ran up to the large door that led to the inside of the building just as she heard a pained yell from one of the agents.

They've found the square.

Dana ran inside, just in time to blend in with another crowd of people all eager to run up the gigantic spiral of stairs to the roof of the building, where the last finale was about to take place. Dana fumbled with her cuffs, using the key she swiped from her guard, before they easily came off. Kicking it toward the ground, Dana stretched her hands, popping her knuckles in satisfaction. Dana reached into her pocket and picked up the smart phone she had swiped from the poor agent she hypnotized. Once doing so, she easily got passed the serenity code (today's date) and opened up to google maps.

"Sorry," she said, as she bumped into another fan.

Dana quickly moved down stairs, toward the parking lot. She barely had enough time.

Dana had a job to do, after all. Even if things weren't actually going to plan, Dana knew what to do. Sort of.

She was going with the flow.

The blinking light on her stolen phone indicated where Bradley was. She was glad that he hadn't found the tracking device she had slipped into his pocket. He was far away, still at the scene of the crime. Sighing in relief, Dana kicked open the door for the parking lot and quickly began looking for a truck.

Crying in relief that that part of the plan didn't change, Dana yelled out, "Guys!" just as two people exited the truck.

The guy's faces hardened in horror before relaxing, "Dana!"

"Hey! Jim! And…um I don't know your name" she said, smiling at the two stage techs, "Have the goods?"

"I'm John," the other man Dana didn't know answered.

"Yup!" they said, giving her a big hug, "I thought you were arrested?"

"What can I say?" she said, grinning, "You can't keep me locked up for good! I'm here to do my job!"

"Good for you," Jim said, "But I don't really get why you guys asked for more lights. I mean, you already have a lot up there!"

Dana laughed, "Right! Well...yes...lights are very important and all. All of them are in the truck right?"

"Yup!" he said, before smiling. "I have to get home, will you be good with getting them up there?"

"I'll be fine," she said, shooing the guys away, "Go home and get some rest! I'll see yah when I can, you hear?"

"Bye Dana!" the two guys said, before jogging to the door she just came through.

Dana's smile faded as she quickly pulled herself up the truck. She opened the door.

And found millions of dollars stacked up high, glowing in the night sky.

Next to the stacks of money was a single cell phone.

Bradley's cell phone to be exact.

The one that Dana had swiped back at Las Vegas.

Thank goodness. Dana thought before picking up the cell phone. Inside was a built in remote control for Bradley's car, who was, to their advantage, too lazy to get a regular key like everyone else. She had come up with this ingenious tactic back when she was supervising Las Vegas, a few months before the show. She had wanted to see Bradley up close and personal and found to her delight what kind of car he owned, the license plate and his cool and original way of getting into that said car.

Dana closed the truck's door and raced to the driver's seat before quickly starting the engine. She had a truck's worth of stolen millions of dollars in her possession.

And she knew just where to put it.


The three Horsemen ran across the building's roof, dodging the helicopter lights flickering above them. They were exhilarated from the finale and excited at the prospect that it was over.

There was now only one thing left to do.

"After you," Merritt said gesturing to Henley. Henley thanked him and carefully climbed down the stairs of the roof and into a dusty back alley. Daniel, who went first, helped her off the ladder and into his arms before settling her down on the ground.

"I still think you lost weight."

"I still think you're a dick," Henley fired back, her words holding no venom. "I'm just glad that it is over."

"Me too, partner," Merritt said, jumping down the ladder. "I'm just glad that no one has spotted us yet."

"Don't jinx it, Merritt," Henley said, giggling. "It's time to get out of here!"

The three horsemen turned to leave just as a voice yelled out, "FREEZE!"

The three froze, not quite believing what happened. They were finished! It was over! All they had to do was collect another individual and meet their boss. They could finally understand the secrets of "The Eye."

They couldn't believe it!

"Thought you could just run, didn't you?" said the voice.

"Er...we surrender?" Daniel asked calmly, keeping his hands out. In his mind however, strenuous activity of occurring, as he tried desperately to find a way out. He did feel bad about leaving the others, but he was Daniel Atlas.

He only looked out for himself.

And maybe his little girl. Dana. He could probably lay low for a while before busting Dana out and running off to South Korea.

He heard it was very pretty this time of year.

"You think you're so special, but you're not." the voice said.

The three horsemen stared at each other, not knowing what to do. They were trapped.

They were so close to.

"But seriously," Dana said, appearing out of the shadows. "Did you really think you could leave without me?"

"Dana?" the three asked simultaneously.

"Yup?" she said, grinning widely. "Fooled yah!"

Henley squealed loudly before running up and hugging her tightly, "Dana!"

"Hey hey! Missed you too!" Dana said, loudly, hugging her friend back. "Nice to know that the finale went well! Saw you guys jump from the building. Nearly gave me a heart attack."

"We had to improvise," Daniel said, once getting over the shock. He wondered if the South Korea plans were still valid.

"Come here, Atlas," Dana said, releasing Henley and opening her arms. "Give me a hug too!"

Daniel rolled his eyes but he stepped into Dana's arms and hugged her, "I'm glad you're ok."

"Me too," she replied before turning to Merritt.

"Hey cupcake."

"Merritt," Dana smiled before hugging the big man as well. "Nice to be back."

The four stared at each other and grinned, glad to be reunited again. It was only a couple of hours apart, but it felt like whole days to the group.

"How are you faring?" Dana asked slowly looking at her friends. "With Jack gone…"

The three exchanged a look, "Well…"

"I mean," Dana said, sighing loudly and looking up into the night sky, "It's only been a couple of hours. I still think it's some dream, you know? I mean, I'm going to wake up tomorrow and we'll all be back at the apartment. It's just…I haven't fully adjusted to it yet."

"Dana…"

"I just escaped the god damn FBI!" Dana shouted, glancing at them, "Who can say that? And during that whole time I couldn't stop to think about Jack. I couldn't mourn him. While you guys created a performance in his name, I was too busy trying to save my life to even think about him. My best friend. Was that wrong?"

"Dana…"

Suddenly a large beam of light lit up the alleyway, causing the four to skitter to the walls to get out of sight.

Dana said, taking a huge breath and smiling fakely, "Well now that the reunion is taken care of, how about we get out of here before the real cops get us, yeah?"

"Good idea," Henley said.

"Right," Dana said, brushing the dirt from her hands. "To the park?"

The others looked at each other.

"What?"

After much nudging and glares, it was Daniel that stepped forward, "Look, Dana? We have something to show you first."

"What?" Dana asked confused.

Daniel winced, "Follow me."
