Chapter #43: The Plan

[Cento 8:15 pm]

"So, what's your plan, Brooks?" Youta's curiosity was evident in his voice.

Brooks seemed to revel in the suspense, his smile growing wider, "Oh, you want to know?"

"Yes, just tell us," Drianna chimed in, her patience wearing thin.

Brooks leaned forward, making a dramatic pause, "We go out tonight and stop the Joker."

Drianna's eyes widened in disbelief, "Tonight? Are you serious?"

Brooks nodded enthusiastically, his confidence unwavering, "Yeah, the sooner, the better."

Youta's agreement was swift, "I like that plan."

But Drianna wasn't so easily convinced, her practicality taking over, "Hold on a second, that's not a plan. We need more information."

Youta challenged her, "Like what?"

Drianna pondered for a moment, then replied, "Well, we need to gather more details about the Joker's patterns, his movements, and his targets."
