Chapter 16 Summary

All the team members agree to the plan, even Savannah, who goes along with it for Luthor’s sake. Suddenly, something moves in the storage room, and the group realizes they are not alone; the bully Darren has heard everything. He blackmails Griffin into including him in the heist, saying that he will tell on Griffin if he does not. Griffin has misgivings but is forced to allow Darren to be part of the group. Griffin tells the team they have five days to prepare for the heist, which will take place on the eve of the auction.

Chapter 17 Summary

The next day the team begin preparations. Logan approaches Mulroney saying a package has been misdelivered to his house. It is a backgammon set, and Logan proposes to play Mulroney, saying he is new in town and has not made many friends. Logan reports back to the group that he can see the skylight from Mulroney’s porch, so they make a plan to turn off the streetlight. To get Swindle out of his house, Darren proposes they drop a New York Rangers ticket in Swindle’s mailbox addressed to someone else. Knowing Swindle, he will want to keep the ticket for himself, giving the team a three- or four-hour window to complete the heist.
