After countless hours of thinking, Harley and Mallet conjured up a plan. Blake, Harley's best friend, and Sebastian's sister, would lure Sebastian to Company (the Cooper's restaurant), with the promise of 'information.' Blake wears a wire, which relays feedback to "Old Lady Harley," hiding in the kitchen. Meanwhile, Mallet, with a large newspaper to hide his face, will be a lookout, in case anyone gets suspicious.
"Do you think Blake will agree to this?" Mallet asked. "Yes, I do. She's my best friend. She'll help." "Ok, I trust you- here she comes. Go on, Harley. But be careful." "Don't worry, Mallet, I'll make sure no one sees me besides Blake."
"Blake!" Harley whispered. "Yeah, who are you?" Blake didn't recognize Harley in disguise. She squinted, trying to see who this old woman was. "HARLEY!" Blake yelled when she recognized her. "SSSHHH! God Blake! Could you be any louder?" "Sorry, sorry. What's going on?" "We need your help."
"We? Who's we?" "Mallet and I." "Oh, Mallet, huh?" Blake smirked. "Yeah, now listen. We got a tip about Phillip's murder. It was a couple of phone numbers, and they led us to Sebastian." "My brother?" "How many Sebastian's are there Blake?" "Ok, ok, what do you want me to do?" "Lure Sebastian to Company. Wear this wire, and encourage him to talk to you about the extent of his Spaulding work." "Where will you be?" "Hiding out in the kitchen. Mallet will be the lookout, to make sure no one is on to us. Come on Blake. Please. You have to help us," Harley pleaded.
"Alright I'll help. But two things first." "What?" "One, that disguise looks hilarious!" "Thanks. What's two?" "I wanna see Mallet." "Sure thing. Mallet, come out here for a second." "What?" Mallet called from the bushes. "Blake wants to see you." "Oh, ok." Mallet appeared next to Harley. "Hi Blake." "Hi Mallet." "Ok, you saw him, we good now?" "Not quite. Harley, hon, you're, like, glowing. You look so happy. I can't help but wonder-" "Blake that's enough. Yes, we are 'back together,' but please don't tell. I know how big you're mouth is, but Blake, I need you to keep this a secret until we're ready to go public." "Ok, I swear to God I won't tell."
"Thanks. Now, meet here in about an hour, and Mallet will attach the wire. Be careful though. If Sebastian's anything like your father, he can smell a setup a mile away." "Yeah, you have to be very careful. One false move could blow this whole thing," Mallet added. "Ok. I'll do better than my best." "Thanks Blake, thank you so much. Now, call Sebastian, and ask him to meet you in a little over an hour, and we'll put our plan in motion." "Got it. But Harley, you be careful too." "Don't worry about me Blake, I'll be fine. We all will."
