Over the next few weeks, we had got a stable plan set out, and we practiced every day. I tried my best to avoid being awkward or weird around Jack, but I think it's getting too obvious that I am tense around him or make up these weird excuses to get out of doing anything involving him.
On one of the days, the only day I was too tired to even try and do the avoiding, I was lounging on the couch. The windows were opened, allowing the fresh air to blow in, and I sat and read an old book I brought with me.
Jack sat next to me and all I did was glance up at him, "Hey Jack, what's up?"
He sat for a moment, not saying anything. I took this as a cue to close my book, giving him my full attention. I shoved an old receipt on the page I was on so I could set my book aside.
"Why are you avoiding me? Do you not like me or something."
"No that's not it-"
"If you don't like me just tell me now and get it over with."
"Jack." I started, thinking through my choice of words, "I do like you but-"
"But what?"
"I'm nervous around you. That's all."
"Why?"
"You just... have so much talent in all this magic stuff and all I do is dabble. I'm not perfect in anything." It wasn't a complete lie, but it wasn't all the truth either.
He sat there for a minute, a goofy smile appearing on his face, "I'll teach you some of my tricks."
It was a good idea after all, and I guess a good excuse to get closer to him. All I have to do is listen and learn. As long as I don't make things weird I think we'll be okay.
I sighed in 'relieve,' playing along like my nerves are vanishing, "That would be great actually."
He smiled, "Let's start later today then, with throwing cards for a start. That is one of the biggest tricks we need to learn."
I nodded in agreement.

We were all sitting in the living room with the blueprints set out in front of us.
"We are going to rob a bank." Danny claimed, that we had heard this multiple times before already, but he keeps repeating it so we can 'memorize it.'
"Alright let's go through every detail." Danny started, "Merritt, you are to pass him on the street saying 'Vi-Vah Los Vegas,' I will follow behind flipping a vegas poker coin, Henley will 'bump' into him to get his heads measurements, speaking french so there is no suspicion. Jack, you and (Y.n) will lead him onto the stage when we swap out the number balls to call him up, Merritt will activate his trance he set on him the day before."
"Alright, what about the signed card in his bank vault?" Jack asked.
"Henley and I will go with the money, well under it to be exact, and Merritt would be one of the police drivers, along with you Jack."
"What about me?" I asked, crossing my arms.
"You will trance the driver and any other police role that you are the passenger of this trip, and when the time comes you will knock out the driver and get the vehicle to stop. We'll all work together to get the money swapped out with the fake from our van that will be parked where we stopped the police transfer truck."
"And to make the money disappear from the vault, I will create some effective flash-makers to set the fake money on fire." I explained, "The vent then will be turned on from a device we will connect into the vault."
"Sounds easy enough." Merritt joked.
"Alright, let's get this plan going, After you Merritt. He should be out and about as we speak."
