"Hi Sacha! Yes, I am fine. Are you? Look I have a little plan I need to put into action with the two hopeless love-birds on Darwin, one being my best-friend and the other being yours, so I need your help to bring it to life…"
"Ok? I will be able to leave Darwin in 5 minutes. Take a break from AAU and meet me in the rear car park ok? … Yes I said the rear car park, I can't afford anyone to hear what I am going to say to you, and when you find out, trust me you will not want anyone to feed this back to them. Rear car park, 5 minutes," Mo told him once again before hanging up the phone and beaming to herself. The plan was slowing forming and the cogs of her brain were working. She knew what she wanted to do.
5 minutes later as she had said, Mo was stood in the rear car park waiting for Sacha. Except he hadn't come. Maybe he wasn't coming and this plan was falling through. But Mo should have more faith. "Where have you been? I haven't got all day you know!"
Approaching with two coffees, Sacha apologised and speaking in his very cheery tone, he told that firstly if she wanted to come up with a grand plan they would need brain food, and also it was freezing so she wouldn't get him to stand outside if he didn't have some form of warmth. "So then, what's your grand plan? I know we need one, Jac's been very distant from me recently, it's like she doesn't want to be hurt by anyone else or she can't stand to be near anyone who she trusts."
"Don't say that Sacha!" Mo snapped with a smile on her face. "I need you to… erm… well… this is a lot to ask… but…"
"Oh just spit it out woman," Sacha interrupted playfully hitting her arm, "I kind of need to know what you want me to do in order to be able to do it!"
Mo seemed cautious and guilty as she spoke. "Right. Don't kill me. Please. But I need you to find out how Jac is feeling. I know that she is missing Jonny but I need to know why she is missing Jonny, how she is missing Jonny. And what it is she wants to happen…"
"You want me to open up Jac Naylor!? You have to be joking Mo! Even for me that is like asking me to trek across the distance of the Sahara desert with no food or water! You know it is like hitting a brick wall repeatedly when you try! You never get anyway and all it causes is hurt to you! I honestly don't think I can do that…" In a reverse it was now Sacha who was feeling cautious. He knew in his heart of hearts he really wanted to help Jac to be happy; she had never been happier than when she was with Jonny, and he really wanted her back to how she had been for those months. But he honestly didn't know if he could do what Mo wanted. And he really wanted to help Mo also; he considered her a very close friend who he knew he could rely upon, so he really wanted to prove that she could rely on him. And this wasn't proving that, except he really didn't know what he was going to do.
"Oh please Sacha… I really need you to do this before I can carry out my plan… Otherwise it won't work… And I couldn't think of anyone else, you are the closest person to Jac in this place, in the world if I am honest, and I really think you can do this?! Anyway, I need you to do this, whether you think you can or not." It was clear to Sacha, Mo was adamant on this one and was not going to change.
Seeming to be really worried "But what happens when she bites my head off for asking. Not if, when. What do I say then, because she sure isn't going to buy I was interested, is she? This is Jac Naylor we are talking about here."
"I don't know, just be honest with her and hope for the best. Anyway its better you than me!" Mo smirked, in response to which Sacha crossed his arms and turned as if to sulk. "Hey, I was only joking, sorry Sacha" Mo spoke like three you old, wining for forgiveness with puppy dog eyes.
"So, say I agree to this. Talk to Jac, and survive. I feed back what I learn, if anything, to you. What's the plan after that?" Mo looked confused. "You have worked that out haven't you?"
Once again roles had been reversed, and it was now Mo who seemed to be the position to be nervous. "Erm… yeah… sure… Sacha… I had one idea but I don't know what you will think of it?" She looked at him, before leaning up against a tree and drinking some of her coffee, as if to calm her nerves.
"You really seem to think I am a mind reader today. Well I am not Jac. So just tell me in black and white or like you put it 'I haven't got all day you know!" Sacha was trying to seem cheery, but he was becoming more and more impatient. He really didn't want to put up with this today.
"Right, ok. This might seem really far-fetched and ridiculous but I have one idea. I want to use my magic weapon. The best thing ever invented…"
"Yes, and that is… cut to it Mo!"
"POST-IT NOTES!" Mo looked very impressed with herself.
"Post-it notes. Are you serious Mo?" Sacha seemed very let down by this anti-climax.
"Yes, POST-IT NOTES! I am going to leave post-it notes for one as if they were the other and then see where it goes. But they will then think they are both talking and they are both making an effort, even though they won't know that it is me! And then they will talk because they think they already are and they will have confessed their feeling and oh my goodness they will get back together and it will all be happy and they will get married and have children and live in a little house and Jonny will be happy and Jac will be happy and I will have my best friend back!" Mo seemed like she had this planned specifically.
"Right. Ok Mo. You seem to have this planned very matter-of-factly. And I think it might work, but I think that it needs some Sacha sparkle added to it, to make it perfect? What you say Mo? Me and you partners in crime…?" Sacha had changed. This gave him something to focus on. And he wanted nothing more than to help Mo to help Jac. Little did Mo know, but this did not only mean that she could get her best friend back, but Sacha could get his back to. He was warming to this idea, even if it did involve the annoying things that were post-its.
"Erm, yes Sacha. Don't make it sound like you wanted us to be partner is crime first! I thought of this idea. Mine. Me. I thought of use being partners in crime!" Mo pretended to hit his head playfully whilst there was a beaming smile on her face. "There is one condition though… You need to speak to Jac first. No information from Jac. No partners in crime. Got it!?" Mo could be manipulative, Sacha knew that, but she was literally black mailing him.
"I suppose so Mo. Well I better get back to work, considering some of us actually need to do some! And yes, I will speak to Naylor ok? I will try my best! Wish me luck?! Because I am going to need it if I want to stay alive!"
Sacha turned and walked away. He didn't see Mo's smirk as the conversation ended and the little dance she did when she realised she had firstly won that battle, and she was one step closing in getting to what she wanted…
So there we go again!
