CONGRATULATIONS roban05! You're on a roll! Unfortunately, that is the last trivia for a while. But I'm happy you got all of them!
?-?
"So are you in?"
"Yes."
"Good."
Jack pressed the stop button on the recorder. "So?"
Myles smiled slightly. "Sounds like we do have them. But how are we going to get a million dollars?" he asked, sitting on the couch in their suite the next morning.
Jack shrugged. "It doesn't hurt to ask."
Myles laughed. "If they give you a million dollars, I'll do your laundry for a year."
Jack smiled widely. "Are you serious?"
He shrugged his shoulders. "They'll never give you that amount of cash, so why not?"
"You're on." He replied, then grabbed his phone to call the request in. He left it on speakerphone for posterity. "Hi, yes, this is Jack Hudson, I would like to put in a request for a million dollars."
"Alright, what is it for?" the woman on the other line asked.
"She didn't even bat an eye!" Myles whispered, shocked.
Jack gave him a proud look. "It's for an entrance into a scam horse race club."
I have you down. You will hear back within the next 24 hours." The woman replied.
"Thank you!" Jack said before hanging up. "See?"
Myles suspiciously looked at him. "I'll believe it when I see it."
"You do that."
?-?
Sue smiled and sighed. Since they couldn't do anything until the money came, she decided to have a spa day. She hadn't had one in several months, so it felt good. The only thing that didn't feel good was the mask, but she had to wear it for protection. But the massage felt amazing. Soon, it was over, and she was walking back to the room.
"YOUR MASSAGE ENJOY YOU?" Jack asked when she came in.
Sue happily smiled as she sat down next to him on the couch. "YES." She sat there for a few seconds. "CASE US-TWO DO-DO?"
"WAIT." He replied.
She sighed. It was always hurry up and wait. Why couldn't anything go at a nice, comfortable, smooth pace?
?-?
"You will sit here, you will report to these people here," the woman said, showing Mya around.
Mya nodded, listening to what she was saying, but also keeping an eagle eye for anything useful. Unfortunately, it was nearly dead, so nothing useful.
"Good?" The woman asked.
Mya nodded. "Yeah."
The woman nodded. "Alright. Good luck." She replied, then walked away.
Mya sighed as she plopped herself in her desk chair. "And hopefully I'll see something." She quietly replied to herself.
?-?
Friday morning, Jack was notified that the money was approved, and to go to the nearest bank to pick it up.
"I win!" Jack happily said when he hung up. Myles just shook his head and sighed. "Don't you dare go back on our deal!" He scolded.
"I'm not, I'm not, don't worry." Myles replied.
"Deal? What deal?" Sue asked, not knowing what they were talking about.
"I didn't think he would get all the money, so I told him that if he did, I would do his laundry for a year."
Sue started laughing. Just the thought of it was hysterical.
"Never mind." Myles said loudly, since Jack too, started laughing. It didn't do any good. "Well, you better pick up that money soon. I don't know about you, but I don't want that laying around, and I want to get home." He said, getting up and walking to the door.
Once the two were alone, and the laughing started to cease, Jack nodded. "He's right."
"What?" Sue asked, still smiling.
"I need to pick up the money. How about I go pick it up, and you go put on one of those pretty dresses, and we'll go together?"
Sue happily nodded, almost jumping to her room, Sunny bounding after her, happily woofing.
?-?
Mya was bored. Her new job wasn't exciting, and nothing exciting was going on to eavesdrop on. But around lunchtime, she heard something terrifying.
"I tell you, it's the easiest million we've ever made. I suspected them all along, them invading into our lives, pretending like they owned the place. But when I bugged their car, I knew it. That Sue and Jack will be long gone before anyone realizes, and us and our million will be even further! I heard them in the car now. They'll be here soon." One man said to another, passing Mya's desk.
Mya's eyes grew wide. "I need to warn them!" She quickly grabbed her phone, told her boss she was taking lunch, and walked outside. Once she thought she was a safe distance away, she called Myles.
"Hello?"
"Myles, it's Mya. Sue and Jack are in trouble!"
"Did they put you up to this?" Myles skeptically asked.
"No, they really are!"
"Alright, I'll call them-"
"No! Come here, please!
"I'm comi-" Myles started.
Mya screamed, then there was dead air.
"Mya? Mya!" Myles yelled. It was no use. She was gone. "I better get over there."
?-?
"So what's your plan?" Sue asked Jack in the car.
"Well, I've called for backup, they will strategically come about 15 minutes behind us. The suitcase is wired so when I press a button, they'll know when to come in. We'll get a bit more information, hand the money over, and arrest them. Pretty simple."
Sue nodded. "I'll be happy when it's over."
Jack smiled and turned towards her quickly. "You always say that."
"I don't like being in danger."
"Then why do you do this?" He asked as he parked the car in the parking lot.
Sue shrugged as she got out. "I like the mystery, just not the danger. And catching the bad guys too." She then smiled widely. "Besides, I get to work with you."
He smiled widely as well, putting his arm around her as they walked inside.
"I like that part too."
"Hey!" Evan happily said as they walked inside.
"Hi!" Jack replied, surprised that he was right here, almost as if he was waiting for them. "I got it." He replied, holding up the suitcase of money.
Evan smiled widely. "Great, come with me."
