"Yes, I want to help", approaching Jimmy, Mandy says in an authoritative tone as she gets closer.
Letting out a sigh, Jimmy pulls her to a secluded spot behind the girls' dorm before asking, confused by her sudden interest in his business, "Why?"
"Personal reasons that don't concern you", blushing slightly at the closeness, Mandy replies; she didn't owe Jimmy any explanation; he was the one who should shut up and be grateful that she wanted to help.
"Are you sure you want to help? What if I end up putting Mr. Burton in a hospital bed for a few months?", Jimmy asks, testing her to see how she would react.
"You'd be making my dream come true!", letting out an amused huff, Mandy says mischievously.
"You're pretty weird, you know that, right?", Jimmy asks in an amused tone.
"Said the guy who's planning to beat up a teacher", frowning, Mandy says sarcastically.
"... Know that it's going to involve the police, and this shit could end up fucking us too if we don't take care, do you still want to help anyway?", after a few seconds staring at her in silence, weighing the pros and cons of including her in his plan, Jimmy asks, warning her what she was getting into, he is not planning a prank, he is planning an attack.
"As I said before, I'm in! We just have to not get caught!", even with the warnings, Mandy stays firm; she hated that disgusting old man with all her might, so as long as they didn't kill him, she could handle whatever they did to him.
"And if the cops question you? You gonna turn me in?", Jimmy asks, touching on an important point.
"Normally I'd rat you out, but in this specific case, I wouldn't do that!", Mandy says, being surprisingly honest.
"Why is this case different?", Jimmy asks, doubtful.
"I've told you before, personal reasons", Mandy says; she didn't want to touch on that subject with someone she barely knows.
"Then it's better not to include you in this", Jimmy says before turning to leave. There was no way he was including her in this without a good reason, and so far, she hadn't given him one.
"Wait... I lost a very close friend because of this sicko! And I only realized she was right when that pig tried to rape me too! I want revenge, for Zoe, for me, and for all the other girls", grabbing Jimmy by the arm to stop him from leaving, Mandy, after a few seconds of silence, explains why she wants to help so much. And, in doing so, her façade briefly opens to reveal a fragile, insecure, traumatized, and surprisingly empathetic girl, very different from the vain, spoiled, bossy, and shallow queen bee from before.
"...Sigh... alright, you're in! Now, I'm going to need you to get me two sets of black clothes that cover the body completely, one in my size and one in the size of a tall, strong adult man. I want pants, hooded sweatshirts, combat boots, balaclavas, gloves, and masks! Can you get me all that by tonight?", after staring at her for a few more seconds, Jimmy sighs, still surprised by the revelation, and includes her in the plan before asking, listing what he needed her to do.
"It won't be easy, but I can manage", Mandy replies confidently; she was the queen bee of the school, getting those things was simple for her, the only real problem was the short time.
"Don't include anyone else in this!", Jimmy reminds her. They couldn't afford a single mistake; their normal lives depended on it.
"I'm not gonna include anyone, I'm not dumb!", Mandy replies, a little annoyed; things had just gotten a bit more complicated now that she couldn't involve anyone, but she could handle it anyway.
"Alright, I'll also need you to create a bait that lures the pig out of the school at 10:00 PM, preferably to an isolated location in town! It can be a fake love letter or anything like that; the only requirement is that it works! Oh, and make sure to wear gloves throughout the whole process, and if you do write a letter, don't use your own handwriting", nodding, Jimmy continues, reminding her to be careful not to leave any trace that could end up linking her to what they were going to do to Mr. Burton.
"That'll be easy! What do I do after that?", letting out a mocking huff, Mandy says, thinking it would be a piece of cake to fool that perverted old man.
"After that, you go to sleep", Jimmy replies to Mandy's question, making her frown.
"Are you serious?", Mandy asks indignantly; it couldn't be possible that her participation in the plan would boil down to just that.
"Yeah, you and the rest of the school will see the result tomorrow morning", Jimmy replies calmly before turning to leave again.
"You're not getting it, I want to help more than just this", grabbing his arm to stop him from leaving, Mandy says in a spoiled manner.
"And you're already helping! Meet me in the parking lot at 6:00 PM with everything ready, in front of the abandoned bus!", Jimmy replies, freeing himself from Mandy's grip with ease before leaving with determined steps, leaving a slightly annoyed cheerleader behind.
=Scene Break=
Moving forward, Jimmy takes advantage of being nearby and stops by the boys' dorm, leaving his backpack in his room before heading out again into the open air.
After a brief walk, weaving through the students wandering around campus, Jimmy reaches the parking lot.
And, without wasting any time, he goes through the abandoned bus and enters old man Peter's 'house', who, as always, was sitting on the floor, soldering components onto an old circuit board.
"Hey, old man!", Jimmy greets him, catching his attention.
"Don't you know how to knock before coming in, brat?", putting the soldering iron aside, old man Peter gets up from where he was and asks while greeting Jimmy with a handshake.
"Not sure if you noticed, but your 'house' doesn't exactly have a door! Actually, it doesn't even have a roof!", letting out an amused huff, Jimmy says, pretending to look around for a door or a roof.
And as if to prove his point, a cool breeze sweeps through the place, bringing with it a newspaper page that, like a guided missile, slaps against the hobo's face.
