"Dude, you're more useful than I thought", Jay smirked.
Bess was on the floor with him and Silent Bob, drawing figures. The three of them were trying to come up with a plan to destroy the stage. They had a choice of either avoiding LaFours altogether, or just take him out head-on. Looked like they were going with the latter.
"Come on", Jay pointed to the pictures. "Make me look all badass and shit."
Bess raised her eyebrow. He was wanting to look cool, but from the looks of things, Silent Bob was going to be doing all the hard work.
"Hey, can I color too?"
The adults looked up, seeing a kid looking at the blueprints. Bess shook her head, waving the kid away. Silent Bob watched the kid run off with a sigh. If there was anything that bugged him, it was spoiled brats, sticking their noses where they didn't belong. Still, Bess handled that kid nicely.
"Silent Bob, stay here and watch Bess", Jay said getting up. "We need quarters."
Bess huffed as he walked away. She wasn't some hapless kid that needed a babysitter. Nonetheless, Silent Bob put out his cigarette, getting comfortable as they waited for Jay to come back. The mute girl smiled, keeping her eyes down, trying to hide the blush on her cheeks.
The two of them sat in silence, trying to figure out what to do. Bess and Silent Bob liked each other, that was obvious. Jay already considered them boyfriend and girlfriend! Bess smiled as she thought about how sweet Silent Bob was. He was treating her with nothing but respect. He and Jay helped pay for the new radio. What really stuck with Bess was the fact that Silent Bob seemed genuinely worried about her the other night. Something that no one had ever showed.
The mute girl looked at the mute man, feeling butterflies in her tummy. She began leaning in, hoping to give him a kiss. A real kiss, not like the night before. Silent Bob looked at Bess, seeing what she had in mind. He certainly wanted to repay her for last night's kiss. When in Rome...
Before their lips could touch, Jay came running back with two rolls of quarters.
"Dude, you guys going to get a room?" he grimaced.
Bess and Silent Bob quickly pulled away, cheeks completely red. Jay took a seat and unrolled the blueprints.
"Phase one."
He pointed to the figure Bess drew of Silent Bob. It was running toward a figure of LaFours. Each item was labeled with a caption.
"Silent Bob Trucks Past LaFours..."
"First, you take a run at LaFours with a sock full of quarters", Jay explained. "I'd do it, but I pulled my back out humping your mom last night. Nooch."
Silent Bob rolled his eyes, shaking his head. He looked at the next step, drawn in detail by Bess. He stood over LaFours who was on the floor with a lump, indicating the previous step should've worked.
"Knock His Ass Out Cold With Sock Full of Quarters!"
"Okay, you clock him on his headpiece and knock his ass out cold", Jay continued before pointing the next step. "That's when phase two kicks in. I attack the structure, Wolvie-berserk style, knock out the fucking pin."
Just as he wanted, Bess drew him looking cool, swinging a baseball bat at the stage. The figure was even described as badass Jay. Finally, the final stage of their plan was in the bottom corner. Jay, Silent Bob and Bess all stood on the ruins of the stage.
"We Dance on the Ruins of the Stupid Stage!"
"Bickety-bam! The motherfucker's rubble. Hence, no game show."
Jay gave Silent Bob the blueprints to study while he prepared the sock and quarters. That kid from before came running up, wanting to see what Bess had spent the whole time drawing. The mute man frowned, feeling his eyes on them. He hated kids like this. Giving him a warning, Silent Bob raised his arm to backhand the kid, sending him running.
Ready to put their plan into action, Silent Bob took the sock filled with quarters. LaFours stood in the center of the plaza, completely vulnerable and unsuspecting. Bess watched worried. The last thing she wanted was for Silent Bob to get caught. He could possibly be arrested for something like this. Wishing him luck, the silent girl put her hands on his shoulders, kissing his cheek.
His chest swelling with pride and confidence, Silent Bob started swinging his makeshift weapon, beginning to run toward LaFours. Starting at a steady pace, he kicked it into full gear, running faster, sock swinging the whole time. What no one saw was the kid who was watching them. Wanting to punish Silent Bob for his behavior, he pushed a toy truck in the middle of the floor.
Silent Bob stepped on the toy and lost his footing, instead riding it past LaFours. The toy rolled across the mall, taking him into a woman's clothing store where he smashed headfirst into a dressing room.
Bess gasped running into the store. She had to get him out before they got into more trouble.
