The Plan

Song: Once and For All (1992 Version)

Present Day: July 1899

Jaime's POV

We didn't exactly have a plan on how to win the strike, but we knew one thing: we needed Denton.

"So what's the plan?" Davey asked.

"Get Denton to rejoin us," Jack responded.

"I got that. I meant what are we going to do once we get Denton."

"Uh. I don't know. James?"

I rolled my eyes.

"Seriously. Can't one of you's come up with a plan for once."

"You're the leader!" Jack yelled.

"You were the one who suggested a strike! You do it!"

"It's not like you disagreed! I mean you were the one who started organizing."

"Well someone had to! It's not like you exactly had a plan besides strike."

"As entertaining as this is," Sarah interrupted. "We should come up with a plan."

"You're right," I responded.

"Jaime 'Books' Kelly saying someone else is right," Jack gasped, putting a hand on his chest.

I elbowed him in the side.

"Ow!"

He hit me in the shoulder in retaliation.

I went back to hit him, but it turned into a cat fight.

"Guys. Guys." Davey said, separating us. "Would ya quit it?"

"Fine," Jack muttered.

"Jackson 'Cowboy' Kelly listening for once," I gasped, mocking him by doing the same thing he did to me earlier.

He lunged for me, but Davey pushed him back.

"Can you two focus for five seconds?" Davey scolded.

"I can," I retorted.

Jack gave me a look.

"What's the plan?" Davey sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose.

"Sarah, do you still have that article Denton wrote?" I asked.

"Yeah, why?"

"May I see it?"

"Of course," she smiled, handing it to me.

I began reading it.

Denton had told everything that had happened at the rally, he even mentioned Snyder and the Refuge.

That gave me an idea.

"We have to get this printed. But first we need our newspaperman," I smirked.

"Let's go get Denton," Les smiled.

"Alright!" Sarah shouted.

We all headed to The Sun's office building where we had a feeling Denton was.

We walked into the building and approached the front desk.

"We're here for a Brian Denton. Is he here?" Davey asked.

The receptionist looked up at us.
