(Biology class)
Alfie: What about my part of the deal?
Jerome: ill get her to do it later, now my biggest problem is Jake and Daniel
Alfie: but Jake won't talk to her after your deal
Jerome: of course he will and so will Daniel, Daniel will at least stay away if he thinks that is what she wants
Alfie: but he also knows when she's lying
Jerome: yeah, we need an actual reason so she would want him to stay away
Alfie: What about Jake?
Jerome: Well I need somebody with him at all times while I find sort out Daniel
Alfie: me?
Jerome: Who else?
*meanwhile*
Jake: Of course she was lying, I couldn't see her hand but I knew it was moving
Daniel: funny about her going out with Jerome
Jake: I want to ask her about that, something doesn't add up
Daniel: do you think it might be forced?
Jake: yeah and Jerome isn't going to let me talk to her so I need you to give a message to her, tell her to meet me outside the attic tonight 12:00
Daniel: um okay, but will you help me with something?
Jake: Sure
Daniel: I need you to distract Victor tonight whilst I steal a key
Jake: What the ones in his pocket?
Daniel: No there's a set of spare keys in his office
Jake: Why do you need it anyway?
Daniel: Well tomorrow night I need to get out the building because I'm meeting someone
Jake: Can you lend me the keys the next day because I'm meeting someone also
Daniel: I want to keep my meeting secret so could you not tell anyone?
Jake: Me too
