We waited back stage after the intermission as Merritt was doing the begging of our final trick we were on the computer hacking into Arties account setting off different transfers for different times. When we walked out on stage I walked with Danny of course and we crossed paths with Henley . Danny whispered something in Merritt's ear
"Oh, oh yeah I almost forgot this evening would not be possible if it weren't for our great benefactor Arthur Tressler" Mer gestured up to where Arthur was sitting. The audience started clapping with us
"Big Applause Big Applause. Actually Art why don't you come up on stage for the finale."
"Come Down Art" me Merritt and Henley encourage he stands up and makes his way to come down.
"There he goes" we clap along with the others. Me and Henley make our way over to him bringing him further on the stage.
"Here he comes."
"Now Art did you fill out your envelope" I wonder he shakes his head
"Well no need. We've done it for you." Jack came out on stage with a huge envelope
"Now Art I took a guess of north of 140 am I right?" we pull out the check
"That's 140 million by the way" Danny and I held up the check as the crowd gasped.
"Oh I'm sorry Merritt how can he be right and everyone else be wrong" I ask
"I think because he too is wrong. Now everybody take out your paper and using the flashlight under your seat start to warm up your paper and your correct balance will appear. Now Art don't worry we have a flashlight for you too" Jack came on with a big stage flashlight and switched it on which nearly blinded. But then the numbers started changing.
"Look" Danny stated
"huh wow"
"what's going on there Danny" Merritt asked
"Wait this is weird a second ago it said $144,570,651 now it say 70 thousand less"
"Okay Josepha can you stand up." she did "Now what is your new number?"
"70,562 now in my account" the crowd cheered
"Wait, is it possibly that the Josepha's went up the exact time Art's went down" Henley wondered
"Hey, look its happening again" we looked at the check and it changed
"Wow it is" I beamed "Artie's balances has gone down another 280k"
"Dina Robertson what does yours say?"
"$281, 477" she told us and the crowd was in awe we put down the check and made our way to the centre
"We have a confession to make" Henley stated
"She's right we lied about something" Jack continued
"Yes none of you were chosen at random" Danny said
"All of you have one thing in common"
"Everyone in this room was a victim of hard times that hit one of America's most treasured cities" my voice broke a little
"Some of you lost your houses, your cars" Merritt informed
"Your business" Jack added
"Your loved ones" he took a hold of my hand and kissed it "But all of you were insured by the same company"
"Tressler insurance" we all pointed to Arthur. The crowd was shocked and began muttering.
"You were abandoned"
"You were loophole"
"Out of your settlements"
"This is all for show correct?" Arthur questioned Henley
"'All' meaning were doing it on stage in front of a paying audience then yes it's for show." there was a beeping
"Whoa, I've got $82,000 in my bank account its says it right here on my cell phone" everyone's phones began to ring.
"Hey, did you do this" Arthur asked pointing at Merritt
"How could we Art? We don't have your password" Jack shrugged walking to the back of the stage.
"We'd need access to information we could never get out hands on" Hen held up her hands following
"Ah yes, like security questions like I don't know your mother's maiden name" Danny left
"Or the name of your first pet" I shrugged following him
"Where would we get that information Art you certainly would never tell us" Mer joint us four at the back. Art tried to get at him but his ankle was chained to the stage. The crowd started shouting angrily. We saw Agent Rhodes running for us me and Danny waved to him
"Freeze" he shouted
"uh oh" I mumbled
"Quaterback!" one of the 12 yelled and started running at him
"We are the Five Horsemen goodnight" we were lifted up and to a ledge on the side which led to the back door. we ran for it
"Okay Henley and Brooke get the information on the safe then help Merritt. Merritt get us a car and go back to the hotel and start getting our bags me and Jack will distract then we'll meet up at the airport are the flights sorted?" Danny panted
"Yeah, all sorted" I called
"Okay, split up" we did so. Me and Henley moved through the crowds and saw the van I took out my phone and looked at the number we were given. Getting inside we sat down at the computer and used what we had to get what we want.
