It was cold and bright, it smelled like money, you could taste the lollipops they gave the children in the air. The sound of hush tones and cash being counted filled the room. He looked around observing the bank, the workers, and what they did with the money. “James” yelled Henry “focus lets get out of here before the plan gets ruined”.  As they left they kept their head down making no sound.  
When they got to the alley all the boys were waiting for both of them, they asked if James thought the plan was going to work and if they got all the right materials. James laughed and said “don't make me laugh, do you know who your talking to, don't worry by tomorrow we will be rich” Henry wasn’t sure if he should believe James or not, but he had no say James ran their group and if he said something he could get kicked out of the group, that he worked so hard for.

On the way home James took the bus with his friends and on the bus he meet a boy named Ender. He was telling them how he is starting school the next day and turned out they go to the same school. James looked at Henry with a grin on his face and Henry knew that poor boy was going to be James’s bait in there plan. James asked Ender if he would like to hang out with them after school tomorrow and Ender said “yes” thinking he made his first friend that day. James called his friends and told them about the bait he found that day and that tomorrow would be like taking candy from a baby.

The next day the boys went to school, they saw their bait and asked him if he was ready for today. Ender asked” where are we going” and James said “ well i have to make a stop at the bank”. After class, Henry felt weird like in the pit of his stomach and couldn’t figure out if he should go or not, but he knew he had no choice if he didn’t go with then the plan would be ruined. It was time to go to the bank they got all their supplies ready and dressed in black. Ender found it kind of weird but he went along with it anyway.

They got to the bank and the plan started at 5:30. The clock rang it was time, they rushed in and got into line James put Ender in front of him and when the young women called next James pushed Ender to the cash register ender screamed “hey man what’s wrong” but he didn’t say anything. The women said hi and James told her to take all the money in the register out and give it to him. Ender was confused but he soon realized what was going on. The women yelled for the police that were at each corner. They came running in and James grabbed Ender around his neck. Every stared, and Ender was scared he knew he had to do something so before James went to grab a child to do the same thing, grab him around the neck Ender hit him in the gut and James fell to the ground when he stood up he yelled “so you want to fight”. They got into a fight, Ender punched him and James hit back, they just kept at it until the police took them to a office.

The room was black and white and was freezing. The police talk to them all, at different times, Ender told his side, James told his, when it was time to talk to Henry he kept repeating “I knew it wasn’t going to work I knew it”  when the police asked him the first question he fainted. They then put James and Ender in the room the police asked Ender why he was out with James and that he knows who Ender is, he knew he was a prodigy. James didn’t know that so he opened his eyes really wide he couldn't believe who he picked to his bate. The next cop came in and started to repeat “who wins huh guys who wins” the cop explained to James that he is childish, there was no way he could've pulled that off. The cop let Ender go but for James they would have to call his parents.
