While thoughts flooded Corbyn's mind, Jack trudged into the room looking a little shaken.
"What happened Jack? Are you okay? " the youngest one asked.
"I'm...l'm fine, Zach." he replied. Zach nodded even though it was unconvincing.
"We need to do something about them as soon as possible, " Jack said while he slumped onto the couch. "Yeah I agree" Corbyn said, looking at Jonah.
"Like what?" Asked Zach looking confused.
"I think... maybe we should... be nice to them..." Says Jack, murmuring the last part.
"What?!" Shouts Jonah now standing up.
"Shhhh... you'll wake them up." Shushs Corbyn.
"I couldn't care less if I do. They're the enemy remember." Says Jonah getting angrier.
"I know but just hear me out." Says Jack. Jonah looks at his friend shocked at his sudden change of heart. He sits down.
"Listen. You and I both know that they're only here as a threat to their father, and knowing him, they're gonna be here for a long time. Because there's no way that man will give in that easy. While they're here, I say we make the best of the situation. So there's no way we can continue fighting with them. Or this is going to be miserable for all of us." Said Jack.
"Ya. That's a good idea Jack. Maybe we can even use it against their father. You know... gain their trust, and bring them into our side. Their dad will have no choice but to surrender." Says Corbyn clearly in favour of Jack's idea. Jonah stares blankly at them. He just can't seem to wrap his mind around why they'd want to be nice to them. They're the enemy after all... at least to Jonah they are.
"Alright we may do that," Jonah said, leaving the rest in shock that he was agreeable with their idea. " But.. " he continued, Zach rolled his eyes ,There it is.  " we can use their trust and lure them into a trap so that we can use them to threaten him to give in." he said. That doesn't sound too bad, Zach thought. "We can then kill them after we achieve our goal." Jonah added casually. "WHAT?!" Corbyn and Jack said together. Zach looked at them while raising an eyebrow.
"Well after the plan works they're useless to us. And plus... it would be perfect revenge for their father."
"Why do you need to do that? What's the point of killing them if the plan works?" Argued Corbyn, with worry evident in his eyes.
"So he can see what it feels like to loose someone!" Jonah angrily shouts. The boys look at him taken back. Though they understand his sudden outburst. Especially after everything he's been through.
"Who's side are you on here. My side... or there's?" He questions looking up the stairs in disgust.
The boys stayed quiet for a moment.
"Your side." Mumbles Jack.
"I'm sorry what was that." Asks Jonah bringing his hand to his ear.
"Your side!" Yells Jack.
Corbyn nods in agreement.
"Your side." Corbyn says emotionlessly.
"Ok. So in that case we're sticking with my plan. End of discussion."
