Magic As A Whole

Chapter 17

When in London one usually wants to see all the sights, and although that was something I wish we could have done, we didn't really have the time to do so.

As I was ready for my performance I got a small squeeze from Dylan as he nodded, "See you, after all, this." he whispers, "Please be safe."

"I will, you stay hidden too, we've got everyone looking, best to keep them not getting to us." I tell him, leaning in to press a kiss to his cheek, "Love you"

"Love you too, good luck," he tells me as we part and the purple lights start shining around the area I was at.

"Hello, London! How's everyone doing on such a fine early night!?" I call out, heads turning in awe as I hear gasps and phones are pulled out.

"I need a volunteer to pick one of these cards!" I call out tugging out a brand new pack of cards.

A bunch of hands raises up and I seek out what looked like a younger kid, "Alright how about you, in the blue jacket," I say pulling out a sharpie, "Okay you're gonna write your name and a smiley face doing on the card you pick." I explain and he does so, his handwriting rather good spelling out 'Austin'.

"Alright, now Austin let's shove this back in the deck and shuffle." I say before hmming, "Or how about we just throw it here at the store's window?" I tease doing just that. As the cards splatter around, one card, however, was inside the store, behind the window.

Austin gasps as he peers to look, seeing it was his card with a wide-eyed look of disbelief. "That is your card right?" I ask earning a nod.

"Perfect, now I've got one other trick, Ma'am in the green hat, can you come and sign your name on a card, from this new deck?" I ask, having her do so, "Show everyone the card and put it back in the deck." I explain.

"Now I've got this bottle, one that you can have after this, it is New Year's Eve after all, how about we see where your card is... because it's not in the deck anymore I can assure you." I say passing the sealed bottle to her.

"Why don't you remove the label ma'am." I tease having her peel back the label with a gasp, her card pressed against the inside of the alcohol."

As I was about to get to the final thing my phone started buzzing and I pulled it out, "Wait, what?" I say in confusion as I hear Dylan on the other side about the rendezvous.

"Sorry guys! But it looks like it's time to get going! But remember what you saw because the grand finale will be important!" I call out before shuffling out as quickly as I could, blending into the crowd. As my lights zoom into one another before going dark once more.

I got there first as was already getting a helmet on and a biker jacket on when Danny and Dylan came running in.

"Again? How did we get found out again?" Danny yells in as we all were coming into the rendezvous point.

"It's fine, it's fine. We'll just cut to the finale" Dylan says as I move to a bike, "No way in hell are you riding alone, I'm driving." he hisses out to me causing me to groan.

"Are we really gonna have an argument about this now?" I say my eyes narrowing, but I scoot back on the bike "Where's Merritt?"

"I don't know," Danny says shaking his head.

"I'm here," Merrit says from the other side as he runs in.

"And where's Lula?" Jack questions.

"I'm right here! What the hell happened?" Lula says nearly out of breath.
