Chapter 25 The Plan

"I would like to know what are on these old CD's but we would need a player to do it.  Anyone any ideas?" Sharron asked .  She was looking a lot better since Devon wiped her face off and applied some of the salve that Elise put on her bruises.  She told her friend that she would look alot better in a day or two and they will get their revenge soon enough.  It wasn't surprising that Jack said he knew where he can get an old machine to play them so they can see what other information is there.  The second decision was how to they get the information out to people who want to know the truth.  "Well before we start talking about sending info out we need to find a way to put this stuff together in a readable fashion.  I elect Greg and a volunteer to help him write a book.  Have we got any takers?" she slowly looked around the room but no one wanted the daunting task.  "I was thinking we should ask some of the girls in the teen group if they would like to help.  Perhaps there is one that is good at sorting info out and putting it on paper." Julie suggested "That sounds like a great idea Julie, we can ask Rosie and the other two if they know which kid might be available." Elise was setting the table up for a dinner everyone was hungry for. 

Within the hour everyone was squeezed around the well used kitchen table reaching over each other to grab fresh chicken sandwiches, fried potatoes, boiled reconstitued carrots and the usual jar of sweet pickles.  Elise had made a rule and that was no one was allowed to talk business while they are at this table "or you will get no dessert!" she threatened.  They had a great evening with good conversation, food and drink.  Night time came and they all went back to the cramped livingroom to discuss what the next step would be.  Greg held a sign up to the camera at the front door asking the three ring leaders to please come to the house for a meeting.  It took them aproximately ten minutes to get to the house.  Greg laughed and gave the girls a big hug at the door.  They were filled in with all the info and were glad to offer themselves as the ones that work with Greg.  They gave their reports to the group as well and they have been very busy.  They were lucky enough to make more of the mini cameras and have been tagging the cars of the Communicators.  This way they are able to see where each one is at all times and know ahead of time if they are on their way to this house.  Elise was ecstatic with them and asked if they have a way to read where each vehicle was on a city map.  Within minutes one of the girls produced a vid screen that showed each car as a red blip.  There were a lot of them, at least thirty of them out on the streets at any one time.  The camera on each car could then be tapped into another vid screen so they were able to actually see where the vehicle was. All of this information proved to be invaluable.  The fugitives knew they were safe in the house for the next while due to all the work the kids have done.

The group has grown to one and a half thousand kids wanting no needing to be involved.  Kat was having problems finding things for them all to do and was worried that the movement will start to loose its momentum if they don't come up with some ideas so they all thought that giving them part of the information they have in front of them will help the kids to understand exactly what they have gotten involved in.  Everyone liked the idea and the girls picked out the information about the murder of the family and the purchasing of the country.  That will be enough to certainly raise the understanding as to what happened to change everything.  It was also decided that the whole group needed to go through the rest of the information to see just how much these corporations have done to the peoples way of life.

They came across information by a doctor who discovered something that was called the C&C conspiracy.  It did a chronological order of the C&C drink and what has become of it.  Originally C&C was made in a small bottle, enough for a refreshing drink.  The next stage was a few years later (ten) and the bottle had doubled in size and so on to the point everyone drinks it now and it is five times larger then the original.  That isn't the only part of the conspiracy that worried people.  The C&C company was using ingredients that would purposely be addictive.  The group found another report by a Dr. B Anderson who researched what happens to people when they eat the addictive substance.  The first thing the research found out was for every two generations they will live up to five years less then the previous two generations.  People will continue to gain weight at an alarming rate which will bring health problems.  These will include high blood pressure, high cholesterol, glogged arteries, heart disease and the list just kept going on.  Everyone was shocked to learn that some fifty years ago the average age at death was eighty years old!  Even the sizes that were set by clothing manufacturers had changed dramatically.  Fifty years ago a woman's size small  would fit a person aproximately five feet six inches with one hundred and five pounds, whereas in today's market small equals a woman of five feet four inches with the weight of one hundred and fifty-five pounds.  It seemed the clothing manufactures purposely changed their sizes and the group wanted to know why.  Elise figured she found out why on the last sheet paper she found.  There was so much money in the sugar and salt industry that they were able to buy out most of the clothing industry or at the least have a majority hold of the largest corporations.
