New York City

     SLAM! “Sorry I came so late, I had to take a detour.” said Daniel Atlas, shoving the door behind him, and speed walking into a large room. Daniel is wearing a black jacket, blue jeans, and sneakers. He is a smart, not very strong and an interesting man of twenty-five. He has brown eyes, and closely cut brown hair.

     “It’s fine, just come and see what I’ve found.” Said Dylan Rhodes writing something on a piece of paper. Dylan is wearing a grey sweatshirt, blue jeans, and sneakers. He is the leader of the four horsemen, a group of four magicians who are acting like modern day Robin Hoods. He is kind of bossy, is thirty years old, has an average build, black hair, blueish-grey eyes and scruff on his face.

     “So, what is it?" asked Daniel somewhat impatiently.

     “Do you watch the news?”

     “I don’t have a habit of doing so.”

     “Well if you did, you’d know that there’s been a series of robberies in high tech buildings lately.”

     “So?”

     “So, all the people that are doing the robberies are clamming to be innocent!” said Dylan angerly throwing down the pen he was using.

     Daniel put his hands in his pockets, blinked rapidly a few times and then spoke slowly. “Dylan, I may not watch the news a lot but, even I know that any person that is about to be put into prison will claim to be innocent.”

    “Yes, Atlas, I know that but once you see the back ground of these people you’ll understand why I’m acting this way!” Dylan sighed, shook his head, then played a video on the laptop he was using. Daniel hearing the video play, walked over to where Dylan was.

    “This is Diana Drake standing with yet another claim to be innocent robber at the New York City Court House—"

    “Listen I don’t know how else to say it, but I didn’t do anything.  I was FRAMED!” said the suspect struggling to get free from the two men that were holding her. Ignoring what the alleged robber said Diana continued reporting.

    “This young woman here used to work for the biggest science/tech company in the world, Vent Industries! Even though she was doing just fine, Jenna here is accused of stealing something to better her work.

     “No, that’s not true! I tried to tell people what Joshua Vent was secretly doing, and he framed me for something that I didn’t—"one of the men put his hand over the young woman’s mouth and the two holding her pretty much carried her inside the court house. Three seconds later the video ended.

     Daniel was silent for a few seconds and then asked,” How old is the video

     “A few months old.”

     “Did the trial happen yet?”

      “Yes.”

     “what happened?”

     “Well, the trial was short. Jenna was sentenced to prison for ten years for stealing, slander and defamation toward Joshua Vent.” Said Dylan looking at Daniel.

     Daniel shook his head. “That doesn’t make sense. Why would a person steal something if they have the best job in the world?”

     “I don’t know but look at her. Even if she had a motive to steal, this was a high-tech company with lots of security.  Does she look like someone who would attempt that?” said Dylan pointing his hands at the scientist.

     Daniel studied the frozen image in silence, while Dylan stared at him with a “you got an answer?” face. After a minute or two, Daniel than took his right hand out of his pocket snapped his fingers, pointed his finger at Dylan while turning toward him and said, “Vent Industries.” This made Dylan make a “that’s it?!” face so Daniel started pacing back and forth and explained.

     “Jenna said in the video that she was framed, but the facts say that she stole something.”

     “Yeah, so?” said Dylan now sitting on the table.

     “What if---?” (Daniel stopped pacing and turned toward Dylan.) “what if they’re both right?”

     “What do you mean?” Dylan got down from the table.

     Daniel smacked his far head and said, “It’s so obvious! See Jenna did steal something, but--”

     “She didn’t realize it” said Dylan finishing the sentence.

     “Exactly!” Daniel had quickly clapped his hands together and pointed a finger at Dylan while saying this, and now walked back over to the laptop and typed something in.

     “What are you doing?” Said Dylan looking at Daniel.

     “I am looking up numbers that don’t add up like--- this!” Daniel stopped typing and pointed to some numbers on the screen.

     Dylan leaned close to the screen and asked, “What is that?!”

     “That my friend is the amount of people that quit working for vent Industries exactly a year after they were accepted.” Said Daniel now thoroughly out of breath.

     “So, let me get this straight. Your saying that as soon as they figured out what they were doing these scientists wanted out?”

     “Yes.”

     “But how are the robberies tied in with this?

     “Well, technically, the scientists didn’t steal anything, but they were kept in the dark.”

     “And that means?”

     “It means that whatever Vent wanted to be made, the scientist needed a certain thing, and VENT went and stole the tech. so, now when a scientist wants to expose Vent Industries, he frames the scientist for stealing the tech because TECHNICALLY he stole it for THEM.”

     “Yeah, I think I’m gonna have to agree with you on that one.” Said Dylan with a “my head just exploded” face. “But just one thing.”

     “What’s that? “Asked Daniel cocking his head and squinting his eyes.

     “Well, being a horseman I though you would catch this but, shouldn’t we be exposing Vent Industries?”

     “Yes”

     “How will we do that.”

     Again, Daniel blinked rapidly and snapped his head upright. “Well that’s simple. Every big company has some sort of hard drive with all their work on it.”

     “So?”

     “So, we steal the hard drive and expose Vent Industries.”

     Dylan laughed, “you’re joking right?”

     “No actually I’m quite serious.”

     Dylan’s smile disappeared. “You are?”

     “Yes.” Daniel stared at Dylan, not flinching.

     Dylan made a series of confused faces and hand jesters, which made Daniel raise his eyebrows. After waiting a few more moments, Daniel said,

     “Alright Dylan listen up. I’m going to go home, if you have a better idea on what we should do text it to me and I’ll see if It’s reasonable. If it is, great if not, get the group together and make a plan on how to steal the drive.” Daniel patted Dylan on the shoulder and walked out.

 Then Dylan finally said, “You want to steal from Vent Industries?”
