Chapter 24

The five Horsemen stared at Lionel Shrike in shock. They did not expect him to come out from the curtain, let alone still be alive.

Lionel looked a bit the same as he did thirty years ago, just a little bit older.

"Inconceivable!" Lolita exclaimed.

"No way," Jack said, wide eyed.

"Now, that I didn't see it coming." Merritt said.

"Impossible!" Daniel said, incredulous.

"You got to be kidding me," Henley said, speechless.

"Hello, Horsemen," said Lionel.

"It's nice to meet all of you. I've heard great things about you,"

He shook hands with Merritt, Daniel, and Jack.

"Ladies,"

"Please tell me that you're you and we're not seeing a ghost." Lolita said.

Dylan's father chuckled.

"It is me, and for that I'll take it as a compliment." Lionel shook Lolita's hand and then Henley's.

He turned to look at Dylan who was rather fuming.

"Dylan," Lionel began to say.

"I can't believe you, Dad!" Dylan spat angrily.

"I can't…I can't even look at you!"

"Son," Lionel said.

"How could you do that to me?" Dylan yelled. "Everyone believed you to be dead and now 30 years later, you come back from the dead?!"

"Uh, I think we'll leave you two alone." Merritt said.

He and the others excused himself, going out through a door (behind the curtain). They close it behind them.

There's a moment of silence before Lionel breaks it.

"Dylan, I'm sorry for the grief and pain I caused you." He said.

"After I finally freed myself from the safe, and I resurfaced elsewhere; I looked everywhere for you. But by then, you were gone."

Dylan exhaled sharply.

"You have no idea what I been through," He said curtly.

"I thought you were dead, Dad. I had to live with that nightmare every single day for the rest of my life. It's enough I already lost Mom,"

The dark-haired man glanced at Thaddeus, who had been standing there- watching him and the Horsemen react to Lionel.

"All this time you knew my father survived, he probably bribed you."

Thaddeus sighed.

"When I found myself face-to-face with your father, he convinced me not to tell anyone and keep tabs on you." He admitted.

"Although, I must say I was surprised to see him. And I wondered how he got out; I would've said anything but I kept my end of the bargain."

"Yet, you lied to my face the whole time." Dylan snapped.

Meanwhile,

"Man, I can't believe Lionel Shrike's alive," Jack commented.

"I know, I don't believe this." Henley said.

"For crying out loud, what next?" Lolita asks.

"How is that even possible?" Daniel questioned.

"Beats me," said Merritt.

Back in the room,

"I suggest you make your father a successor," Thaddeus advised.

"Please, Dylan. Give me another chance," Lionel said.

"A chance to reconnect with you, make amends."

Dylan stared at him coldly.

"This is a lot for me to process," He said.

Without saying another word, Dylan leaves the room.

Lionel sighs, lowering his head.

"Give him time, Lionel. He'll come around," Thaddeus said.

The magician debunker walks away.

Dylan gets caught up with the Horsemen.

"Are you okay?" Lolita asked.

"No, not really," Dylan answered.

"Do you think you'll ever reconcile with your father?" Henley asked.

"I don't know Henley," Dylan answered. "But, let's just go,"

The six look down to see a spiraling staircase. As they walked, the spiral forms to resemble a shape of an eye.

"Seeing is believing, but is it truth?" Thaddeus's voice asked.

"Depends on your point of view. Are you listening Horsemen?"

"When you emerge, and you will," Thaddeus continued.

"I will be there waiting. Because mark my words, you will get what's coming to you in ways you can't expect. But very much deserve, because one thing I believe in is an eye for an eye."

The End.

A/N: Wow, The Return of the Fab Five is officially finished, finished! I must say I enjoyed writing the story. I didn't want to sugar coat Dylan's reaction to his father, I needed some drama.

I know you're sad the story's over, but don't worry my loyal readers I have plans for future Now You See Me stories.

I read online that a third Now You See Me movie is in the works. Lizzy Caplan will reprise her role as Lula May and Benedict Cumberbatch is in talks to appear. Also, Isla Fisher will be back as Henley (I'm sure that's accurate, but don't worry Henley will still be part of the Horsemen; same goes for Lolita). So, yes, I will do a third story.

Plus, I will do a prequel to my first NYSM fan fic as a backstory on my OC; titled "Lolita."

The third movie's set to release in 2019, it will be a while but it'll give me time to write "Lolita", update my other stories and put out new stories.

I don't know if Melanie Laurent the actress who played Alma Dray (in the first installment) will be back, depending on how the third movie pans out I might add her to the story (we'll have to see). And as for Lionel Shrike, I don't know if they'll reveal he's alive in the next one. But, he'll be in my story. Lionel will guide Dylan and the Horsemen as their new successor- after he and Dylan reconcile.

First and foremost, I thank God for giving me the gift and strength to write this amazing story.

Once again thank you to NicoleR85, The Individualist, and everyone who reviewed, you're all awesome! And for those who favorited and followed, thank you for your support.

I hope you stayed safe during the storm.
