Becoming the Richest Man Alive

Some were amused by what was happening, while others appeared slightly alarmed and wondered if they should make a call to the police.

As if sensing their thoughts, Colton stepped forward. “Everyone, please do not be alarmed. We’re doing a flash mob! This is part of the performance.”

The onlookers ooh-ed in realization. Those who seemed concerned earlier relaxed visibly.

“No, don’t listen to him!” Ced cried out. “Can’t you see we’re being stoned here?”

One shopper nodded in understanding. “Yeah, aren’t we all by capitalism?” she called to Ced before turning to her friend beside her. “I can see it now—the performance is about the evils of capitalism. Not bad for an artistic expression,” she said appreciatively.

“I want to get hit by money too,” another shopper muttered, oblivious to just how much it would hurt to get pelted by coins.

As the students were nearing the end of the stash of coins, Godfrey turned to Casper. “You said you’d take care of the show… It’s about to start soon. What do you plan to do now?”

Mischief flashed in Casper’s eyes. “We run, of course.”

He grinned devilishly. “We’re hired by Vamanos Manpower, so they are the ones who need to answer to the management if anything happens. Anyway, even if Vamanos Manpower comes after us for compensation, I’ll just give them whatever amount they demand in coins.”

The rest sucked in a breath in unison, impressed by Casper’s devil-may-care attitude and blatant intention to play dirty.

When Casper and the gang vamoosed, all the BU students recruited by Vamanos Manpower followed suit, leaving the mall severely short-handed to set up the performance.
