The Plan
"It's done!" Matt said as he walked through the door for like the fiftieth time today.
"Are you sure?" Melanie asked.
"You're welcome to go and look around if you don't believe me," Matt said a little annoyed.
"Well I only ask because when people say that people tend to second guess themselves which can help them remember things they might have missed," Melanie said.
"Okay, that's it," Matt said, "I'm tired of you always being miss know it all. Can't you ever be like, not smart for just a couple hours?" Melanie stood up and began to walk up to Matt. I bolted from my chair and stood in between them with my arms held out between them.
"Guys we don't need this right now!" I said sternly. They looked deep into each other's eyes. Their faces were still mad, but were slowly turning to sorrow.
"I'm sorry Mel," Matt said finally.
"Good, now let's get everyone in here so Melanie and I can go over the plan we came up with," I said. Matt ran outside and brought David inside; Stephanie ran and got Katie. We gathered around the table and Stephanie brought the food to the table.
"Tonight's specialty; tacos," Stephanie announced proudly.
"Awesome," we all said in agreement. We dug in and ate until we couldn't eat anymore.
"So what's this plan that you guys have cooked up for dessert?" David asked as he rubbed his hand over his bulging stomach.
"Well this is what we got," I began as I pulled out a bottle with a rag in it, "this here, is a Molotov cocktail. We make some more of these to use as a bomb. Then we get a car and fill it with explosives to break through the main doors. Melanie, Tom, and I will enter the power plant while you guys take care of the others outside. When you're finished with that you guys will stay at the door to make sure that no one else comes in while us three set up the power plant to power the time machine. So what do you think?" they all starred at me blankly as Melanie and I looked around the room.
"Well, I for one, don't really want to die," stated Katie.
"You won't. We've got sniper rifles that you can use. You won't have to be close and from the looks of it when we saw them before, they weren't armed," I replied.
"Ok, seems good enough to me. I'm in," Katie said.
"I go where she goes," David said as he put his arm over her shoulders. We all looked at him with mushy gushy faces, "what, I gotta protect my babe."
"Well, I don't want to be left alone so I guess I'm in too," Matt said.
"Same here," Stephanie said.
"Then I guess we're all agreed. We'll make preparations first thing in the morning," I said.
"What about me. Maybe I don't want to go," Tom said.
"Well seeing as you're tied up and our prisoner, again, you don't really get a choice," Stephanie said.
"Well how do you know that I won't run or not help you once you untie me," Tom said.
"Because you want the adults back just as bad as we do. You may be this big bad secret agent man, but deep down inside, you're just a scared little kid who wants his mommy," Stephanie said, getting right up in Tom's face. Tom knew that he had been beat. She backed away and headed to her bed. One by one we all began to retire to our beds. We would need lots of energy for tomorrow.
