Chapter Five: Snuffles and Cushman Armitage

The plane to New Orleans was quite a relaxing ride. Merritt, Jack and Olivia were located in the back cabin of the plane. Merritt was watching the on going, intense game of Go fish between Olivia and Jack. A couple of rows in front Tressler had been facetiming Cowan, a late night tv host and Danny holed himself in the front cabin, mindlessly flipping two silver coins between his knuckles. Occasionally he had leaned himself over to catch a glance at Olivia, who would often return his stare with one matching his own. Apologetic yet cold.

"Got any 4's?" Olivia asked her brother. His hand mindlessly tap quickly on the table and his eyes darted for a second before he leaned back.

"Go fish." He replied. Olivia looked at him.

"You're totally lying."

"Am not!" He chuckled at Olivia's accusations. She looked at him with a knowing glare.

"Yes you do because I have the other half of the pair and you had asked me at the beginning of the game if I had any fours and I said no." Olivia finished, leaning back in her seat triumphantly. She tilted her head out a bit to see if Danny was once again looking over. He was but darted back in once she had caught his gaze.

"Are you admitting to cheating as well?" Jack tried turning the tables on his sister. "Because, like you said, I had asked if you had any fours and you had said no."

"That was five turned ago. I got them before hand." Olivia once again poked her head out of her seat and met danny's gaze but the two returned to their quarters moments later.

"So is there any reason you and Danny have been giving each other cold shoulder for the past two hours?" Jack asked watching as Danny darted back into his seat and Olivia sat up straight.

"We are not giving each other the cold shoulder." Olivia denied but Jack knew better. Since the two had reached the plane, they completely ignored each other. Olivia had stormed onto the plane and for the first hour had done nothing but sit and stare out the window and occasion glance in Danny's direction. He had followed Olivia's similar motion, seclude get himself away from the fellow horsemen. In all honestly, this was not something new to Jack and Merritt. In the past year they have watched Olivia and Danny be at each other's throats sometimes.

"Ever since you two got on the plane all you've been doing is moping around and glancing over at Danny." Merritt sided with Jack. Olivia placed her cards down and leaned back.

"I thought I was done with interrogations today." She snapped.

"It's not an interrogation, it's a friendly session of 20 questions that will help you with your problem." Jack rephrased. Olivia of course, saw no difference between the two statements.

"Did you guys fight in the car?" Asked Merritt

"No."

"Was it something about today?" Asked Jack

"Not really." Olivia said vaguely.

"Was he being an ass?" Merritt asked.

Olivia looked at him. "What do you think Merritt? You're the mind reader."

"That's not mind reading, it's facts." Merritt joked and a small smile broke on Olivia's face. The first time all day today. When the two men realized they were not going to get any information out of Olivia, Jack had got up to go get soda for them. Merritt leaned back into his chair.

"Allow me to make plain what we've both been thinking." Merritt started and Olivia roller her eyes.

"And what's that?" She asked, knowing all too well Merritt was about to use his particular set of "skills".

"Well, obviously, you have feelings of affection for Daniel." Hearing Merritt speak boldly about the obvious attraction between Olivia and Daniel made her straighten her back. For about six months, Olivia and Daniel were able to create a persona around them of mutual friendship when in reality, they both had adoring affections for each other. Of course, the two were too stubborn to admit these feelings and nobody ever dared to mention it out loud as Merritt had just done but Jack, Merritt and many others could see the attraction between the two. If that weren't enough, the cold shoulders given when Danny would flirt with a crew member or horny groupy or when a young man tried chatting Olivia were clearly apparent.

"Unrequited and misguided, owing to his lack of emotional availability. Consequently, you're very tightly...How should I put it? Corked." Merritt continued with his assessment. Olivia giggled and Merritt's clear enthusiasm for sexual frustration.

"Oh, I am?" Olivia managed to say while suppressing some giggles.

"Now, recognizing that you have physical needs not being met, and strictly in the vein of helping a sister out, I invite you to think of me as your own personal corkscrew."

Olivia let out a quick burst of laughter and quickly recovered putting on a smug grin and looked at Merritt. "Wow. Thanks. Let me mull over that offer of cheap and meaningless sex."

Merritt smiled. "Cheap and meaningless , maybe, but not time consuming."

Olivia popped an eyebrow. "Maybe I should discuss this with Jack, I'm sure he would love to talk about this with you and me." She said and before Merritt could come up with a response, Jack popped back.

"Discuss what?" He asked and Merritt ducked his eyes down into the magazine while Olivia tried to suppress the laughter that had wanted to burst from her chest. Jack looked at her. "No seriously what?"

"Nothing!" The two said and quickly retreated to their own minds.

Danny watched the encounter between Merritt and Olivia; a small sense of jealousy festered in him. He watched her cover her mouth and tighten her shoulders as she tried hiding her giggles. He admired the way her eyes lit up and the crinkles next to her eyes, the small dimples popped out for everyone to see. Danny envied Merritt for being able to make Olivia laugh so quickly, for him to cheer her up when she was upset or mad. He knew after his comment in the car ride to the plane she was not happy at all and watched in jealousy as Merrit turned her anger into joy.

Danny pocketed the two coins he had been playing with and impulsively stood up, eyeing Merritt, Jack and Olivia (mostly Merritt and Olivia) and started walking towards them. Merritt had been telling the twins a joke he used to tell when he was much younger.

"Guy goes to the doctor. Doctor says, Sir, you're gonna have to stop masturbating. And he says 'why?' and he says 'So I can finish the examination."

Jack noticed Danny firsted and turned around fully towards him. "Oh, Danny, can I talk to you about my role in the show real quick?"

Danny was almost oblivious to Jack's question, mostly focused on Olivia and Merritt. "Yeah, yeah, yeah. Sure. in a bit. Hey guys." He interrupted the two. They looked at him amused.

"We got a show to prepare for." Danny said. Merritt gave a quick, knowing glance to Olivia before sizing danny up with a fixed gaze.

"Do we now?" He started walking towards Danny just as he started moving back, pushing his hands near his eyes.

"No, no, no, don't do that. You're doing that thing to me. NO." Danny scolded his quickly, moving towards Tressler's seat.

"What thing? I'm just looking at you." Merritt mocked, knowing Danny cringes when Merritt tried doing his hypnosis tricks on Danny.

"No, you're not." Danny turned towards him. "I've been watching you for a year. I know all your little tricks."

"That what they are to you? Tricks?" Merritt asked.

"Yes, it's gimmicks, It's Barnum statements. It's reading the eyes, Body language. I get it." Danny pointed out, giving Merritt a smug and superior smile. Merritt just stood there with a cold face.

"If it's such an easy thing, why don't you do Olivia?" Merritt pointed to Olivia. She looked at him with a mocking smile.

"Yeah, Danny. Why don't you do me?" She teased him.

Danny didn't look Olivia in the eyes, they darted to the girl on his left. "No, you're too easy, I'll do Jasmine." Danny smiled flirtatiously at the assistant and touched her shoulder. Olivia's eyes narrowed and her fist clenched by her side in jealousy.

"No." The four horsemen turned their heads. "Do me." Tressler stated, leaning back. The horsemen looked at each other with wicked smiles, knowing all too well what that could me.

"Oh, yeah. Yea. Do Art." Merritt said.

"Even better." Olivia said.

"Okay." Danny agreed. They all circled around Tressler, watching his eyes dance in delight and he sat up straight, prepared for Danny's game.

"But I warn you, I can be difficult to read, when i want to be."

"Okay, just stay with me, Okay?" Danny instructed.

"So, Art." Danny started. "You were a tough kid. You know, kind of a real rapscallion. You had a dog. A real tough dog. A british breed. Like a real...I wanna say, Ben the bulldog." Danny guess, looking at Tressler to see if it was the right answer.

"Actually, i was a prissy little tot. I had a fluffy white cat called Snuffles." Tressler laughed at Danny's extreme inaccuracy. Danny jokingly punched the ceiling and everyone around him tried to protest Danny's further actions.

"Let me try one." Jack suggested. "I can do way better than that."

'Let him do it. He can do way better than you." Olivia agreed with Jack.

Danny turned towards the three protesting Horsemen. "Come on, give me, one more, one more time." He turned back to Tressler. "Let's do family."

"You had an uncle on your mother's side. He had a real, kind of...A real masculine name. A real, kind of, salt-of-the-earth..you know, a real, stick it to you..like it was some kind of Paul.."By this point Danny's voice waivered into an uncertain tone. "Thompson? Was it a paul…" Danny gave everyone a defeated look. "Okay you know what? I got nothin'."

Tressler gave him a mocked pity look. "Nearly though."

Danny perked up. "Really?'

"Yea. My uncle's name was Cushan Armitage." Everyone laughed at Tressler's answer and mocked Danny's very inaccurate again.

"Really. Snuffles and Cushman Armitage? That was your childhood?" Danny asked in slight annoyance.

"I certainly hope tonight's show is gonna be better than this." Tressler poked at Danny, laughing with the other Horsemen.

"Don't worry." Danny said. "Just you wait."

After the little excursion between the Horsemen and Tressler, they retreated once again to their corners, only this time, the Horsemen had placed themselves in the quad seating in the back of the plane. Olivia sat next to Danny, who leaned on her shoulder to see the computer screen. Jack kept watch from the aisle seat for Tressler or crew members while Merritt instructed olivia on how to spell the names.

"I'm in." She said, watching the computer screen give her access to a bank account.

"Great, now we just need to pick some names off of tonight's show.." Danny stated, pointing to a couple of names off the roster. "And their credit card numbers." He watched Olivia open up their bank accounts as well. "And I just program the computer to take X amount of money out at this time." She coded the computer to start decreasing money at 9:35 pm.

"You sure this will work?" Jack asked, leaning in a bit. Danny looked up at him.

"Of course it will work." Danny assured him, slightly offended at jack's question. Jack looked at his sister.

"If the program fails, I can go backstage and do it from the wings manually." She reassured her brother. He looked back out and saw the co-pilot coming towards them. "Close the app out!" He hissed and Olivia quickly switched out of the app and placed a fake blueprint on the screen.

"Hey have a good show tonight." The pilot said to them and they nodded in appreciation.
