The Plan.


" So, I know that the murderers are off  South AKA Barcelona. I know this because, if, just if, Olivia, you find yourself on a holiday cruise off to California and you go into a cubicle and hear people saying outside : Then , Barcelona. By aroundish the start of September...  which, by the way is tommorow . . . guys?"

"The voice," Nugget added uncomfortably ," was so like yours... Koi and when I got out I saw a glimpse of the shadowed face... dark, gloomy, miserable, but even so Koi's face..."

" Ok, close this topic, what do we do now and how do we 'save the world?' " Asked Nick.

" Yes Nick, I'm getting to it! We, yes we, Olivia, don't give me that sceptical look, have to go to Barcelona, find Jana, not single-handedly! With a lot of the others." He clicked his fingers and five figures dressed in black appeared." You see we have an advantage as you guys look like typical teenagers and quite normal, anyways we find Jana tell the others,call the police, get her and her friends locked up . . . for a while-"

"Yeah and if we manage that on a back-to-school-day then it'll be a miracle!" Sighed Olivia, "Plans gone to waste."

" Ye and how do we communicate with others?" Added Koi, "Without letting t h e m get away."

" And we arn't Spanish. Also how do you know ' aroundish' is the first? How do you know that they are even going to Spain at all and changed their minds? What if this is the w o r s t plan ever!" Nick panicked.

" Chill, people." He waved at the figures in black and they disappeared. Olivia muttered something about being lazy." One at a time. We communicate with the others with-"

"Let me guess,  NSCD, Nugget's Secret Communication Device?" Asked Olivia drily.

"Close. NSWOTAT-"

"What?"Shrieked Koi.

"Nugget's secret world of talking and texting."

"Oh.I prefer NSCD." Nick said, sitting down on a comfy cyan chair and saying," May as well be comfy."

The others sat down, Nugget bringing some coffee and cookies," Nothing but a little caffeine to boost your brains?"

" Here," he took three compact, cyan ,small circular objects out of his pocket," You can call me or any of each other, you can scan things and find information . . . Well many things." He handed them over.

Nick looked at his curiously opening and closing it,"It's like a super-duper compact laptop." Olivia pocketed hers and so did the others.

"About the ' plan? ' Why can't we just call the police first, Nuggie?" Asked Koi.

"It's ok Koi. . . if you don't really want to-" Began Nugget timidly.

"I do! I'm with you. . . but why can't we save ourselves the trouble?" Koi said hurriedly.

" Because the . .. police don't really trust us or rather me. As it goes some . . . ok many of the calls I have given them end up to be that the prisoners escape before the police get there or that the places I thought criminals were they . . . weren't there at the time. And so they'd probably take their time. . . or ignore it all. Whearas we could take the prisoners back to a police station." Nugget finished with a brief smile, put his cup of tea on the table with a clatter and paced up and down the room.

"Nugget's okay?" Koi whispered to Nick. Nick shrugged and looked back at Koi. Her face was white, she looked weak and some of her veins showed but she looked detemined all the same.

- Well if anything I'm proud of her and fond of her. She is one brave girl, and I feel awed and inspired when I think of her. But she has a weakness, like not some lame weakness like - I'm an addict to chocolate- or sommeth but an actual weakness, we all do and sadly her weakness is the same as one of Jana's many weakness. Jealousy. Yup, you heard it. Maybe growing up with a perfect twin sister that always has more, from money to friends, shows upon you. I mean come on your twin sister gets showered with i-phones and guay gadgets ( guay = cool in spanish ) on YOUR special day and all you get are books and some lame ornaments that were worth five quid a hundred years ago . . . NOT something to boast about. So I sympathise with her-

Then they both gazed in turn at Olivia, since Swinton had gone she had stopped being snappy sarcastic Olivia. Didn't I say that this whole story wouldn't work without her? It does work as occasionally she let off sparks of her old self.

Olivia swished her hair and gazed down. She was a tall figurine, quite sweet but could be . . . well anything. She fingere the gold locket her grandmother had given her a week before her death. Olivia had never taken it off since. Then she pulled it out and looked at the golden heart saying, I'm there when I'm not, Be strong, brave and you. I love you. Olivia kissed it and stood up.

"Nugget? Well I should go . . . You okay?" She added as Nugget span around.

"Huh? What? Fine. Yes in the morning, early 6ish be up. NET'll be there for you. One ok? Goodbye." He said this all in a rush clicked his hand and the door opened and he hastled them up.

"Bye Nugget."Waved Olivia

"Thanks Nugget." Yelled a pale Koi, slowly returning to colour.

"Till tommorow Nugg-" Nick began," Geez."

The door had slammed shut.
