Illusions of love

~Always be the smartest guy in the room~

•Vanessa POV•

The next morning Jack, Merrit, and Daniel came over to talk about our next act.

"Pick a card," Daniel asked me, laying down on the couch shuffling his cards.

"Really Daniel?" I asked. "You can't do magic tricks on magicians, it's boring," I said.

Henley was upstairs packing, Merrit was in the kitchen, probably drinking, and Jack.... well from the corner of my eye, he was staring at me. But as soon as I looked up, he looked back in his book, smiling. I smiled too. Suddenly, our door swung open.

"FBI PUT YOUR HANDS IN THE AIR!!"

I jumped a little but I expected it. About 20 cops/FBI stormed into our room with guns.

"PUT YOUR HANDS IN THE AIR" they said again.

We all barely put our hands up.

Henley walked down stairs with her hands up.

"Oh my! Do you guys mind helping us with our bags?" she asked in a sweet way.

~FF to police station~

They put us all in seperate rooms, with handcuffs. Honestly it was all ridiculous.

Then an agent and his partner walked into my room and sat down. I was stretching my whole body out.

"Just tell me. How did the the guy get to his bank in France from Vegas?" Agent Rhodes asked in frustration.

"Do i need to spell it out agent. M-A-G-I-C," I spelled out.

"Dammit!" Rhodes yelled, slamming his papers on the desk. I chuckled a little while looking down at my nails.

"You know sweetheart, i wouldn't be laughing if i were you. I can put you in jail as fast as I put those murderers and theives that sat in that same exact chair," he said pointing to my seat.

"But you won't. Because if you did, that means that you and all the FBI and your friends at Interpol , at least at an institutional level... believe in magic," I said raising my hands.

"Thats it, i'm out of here where's the next one," Rhodes said standing up annoyed.

"Agent," I asked.

"What," he said turning around.

"Remember... the closer you look, the less you'll see." I pulled out his phone from my pocket and held it up. He came and snatched it out of my hands and left.

"Have a good day," I said waving my hand as he walked out of the room. He snickered. About 10 minutes later an officer walked in and unlocked my handcuffs.

"You're free to go."

"That's it?" I asked.

"Agent Rhodes can't book any one of you," the officer said.

"Sweet," I said winking at the officer.

As i walked out of the room, I was followed by Jack behind me, Henley behind him, Merrit in front of me, and Daniel in front of him.

"Hey gorgeous," Jack said to me while holding his coat over his shoulder and walking.

"Hey," I said smiling.

"Hey why'd we leave so fast," Jack asked as we walked outside.

"Rule 1 of magic. Always be the smartest guy in the room," Daniel said. Looks like he took care of it all. We all got into the car and made our way to the airport. Next stop, New Orleans.
