The Boss hit a button, freezing the video, then he zoomed in on the Ching—Stevie’s phone—falling from the sky. “Does anybody notice that the boy dropped the Ching on purpose?”
Harvey hesitated, then said, “I’m going to say . . . yes?” ZZZZZZTTTTT!! Harvey flew sideways in his chair and screamed, “WAHHHHH!!”
Across the table Joe laughed, then he too screamed with the sound of ZZZZZZZZZT! Stan caught Freddy’s eye and held up one finger. So far, he was winning their bet against Joe.
The Boss turned to his left, his silvery vest now facing Stan in the darkness. Another video rolled. This time it was the scene in Columbus Circle and the Suits were chasing Bones as he headed to the subway station.
Harvey, who was still shaking from his zap, blurted an answer before the Boss could even ask a question. “No! We failed miserably!”
“That is the correct answer, Harvey,” the Boss said, his silvery vest nodding its approval in the darkness. “We failed because we did not anticipate the Tomato using the app to go back in time to warn the Cornstalk that we were coming.”
The video faded to black and the words “Final Question” appeared on the screen.
