"A-Alex. I'm not sure about this."

"Jackie. Please. If we wanna make this work, we need a reunion. Becky unfortunately couldn't get today off but Weiss was able to use her break to come here today."

After the emotional confrontation last night at the beach, Alex and Weiss had agreed to meet up the next day at the forest to avoid Dekota's security.

Eventaully, sounds were heard of bushes moving so Alex and Jackie were on guard in case it was one of Dekota's handpicked guards.

Thankfully it wasn't as it was Weiss who came by still in her casual wear.

"Your, wearing that at the hosptial?" Asked Alex.

"No idiot. I just switched clothing so my nurse outfit wouldn't get ruined. Anyways." She said as she turned her head to look at her current former leader as Jackie shyly looked away.

Even after the picture and video, Jackie deep down still had a small part of her believing it was fake and just a ploy to convince her.

That immediately went away as Weiss quickly hugged Jackie as Jackie was shocked but then also hugged back.

Both girls had a much needed hug.

"Finally. Your back home." Said Weiss who was glad Jackie had agreed to come back.

"Y-Yeah. All thanks to you guys, and Alex." She responded with a small smile.

"Sorry Becky couldn't make it. Today she absolutely needed to work so she couldn't spare time to come with me to see you. Either way, Becky is also extremely happy that your gonna fight for your spot back."

"I honestly miss Becky and her, antics, but still you get what I mean."

Weiss nodded as she looked towards Alex.

"So, what's the plan? How're we gonna get Weiss face to face with Dekota? She practically knows and sees everything that's going on. It's nearly impossible to sneak Jackie in."

"We just need a simple enough distraction. One that isn't TOO obvious of a distraction."

"Glad you say that. Believably, Becky is good at distracting. Not just cause her massive melons attract all the men's eyesight, but, she's also a good talker and staller." Said Weiss.

"Alright then it's settled. We'll have Becky distract Dekota long enough to sneak to her entrance door."

Weiss nooded and Jackie also noddes though she had kept something to herself that she would say later.

After a nice little chat Alex and Jackie left the forest and Weiss went back to her shift at the hospital.

As Alex and Jackie walked back to the apartment, Jackie walked in front of and stopped Alex.

"Got something to say Jackie?"

"I agree with your plan on one condition."

"What is it?"

"Once me and you are in Dekota's office confronting her, I want you to leave the office and wait outside with Weiss."

"Y-You wanna take your job back on your own?"

Jackie nodded.

"Ever since I killed Jack, I've always been a liability. Weak. Scared. Wimpy. And afraid. And I proved it when I believe Dekota's fake rumor of an uprising. Tomorrow, is my chance to finally prove to myself that I'm a leader. The Jackie you see now is no longer the leader that the old Jackie was. I never will be the same. But, I'll be a leader again. A new type of leader that'll won't be afraid."
