So Long and Goodnight
Plans
Gerard POV
I'd finally gotten all of them to admit it to me, with Zepplin's help. Apparently they were called the "outcasts", and they were the main targets of Mr H because they had ADHD, and weren't able to be the robots he wanted. But from what they told me, other kids were taken on occasion, but not as much as them. Before I learnt all the information, I had to promise them I wouldn't tell another soul. All I want to do is get revenge on that bastard. And that's exactly what we're going to do. We have everything planned out, and as the students finish their assignments at the end of the day, I pretend to hate all of the work they did. "I'm afraid this isn't up to the standard that I was expecting, kids. I'll need you to improve these before you're allowed to leave."
Miss W smiles at my fake instinct to punish them and leaves the room, closing the door behind her. I sigh in relief as she leaves. "Ok, now I think we can do something other than stop ourselves from sighing in front of that witch." They chuckle at my bad joke and take a random seat in front of me. "So, what's the plan?" asks Max in his quiet, yet charming voice.
Shit. I haven't thought of that. "I suppose we'll get him to confess..."
"My Way, how're we gonna manage that?" Katie looks up at me with her large eyes.
"Call me Gerard. And come on...we have five amazing kids here. Why don't we all start by...saying what we're good at that could help us. Starting with...Ridley."
Ridley looks up. "I guess you can say I'm not that bad at making traps and stuff. We used to do it as pranks at camp all the time, like rope nets and all that kind of shit."
"Good. We could use that. Max?"
He thinks for a while. "I don't really have a talent. I guess you could say I kind find loopholes out of things? Nothing special."
I nod. "Katie?"
"I can distract people pretty easily."
That will come in our favour. "Zepplin?"
"I can do quite a few things on a computer."
I knew that, and I know exactly how to use that. "Lily?"
she signs: 'And this stays in this room?'
I nod. ANd she hesitates before signing again. 'I've killed a few people, before...'
