Chapter 103 All hands on deck!
It was true that the gang had hit a dead end for quite a number of reasons. Usually, an attack on another gang needed all hands to be on deck. In the case of the outcast gang, they failed from the start as only a few hands were on deck.
To make the situation even less fancier, they were beginning to uncover the true strenght of their target gang, the Gecko brotherhood. However, it wasn't news that not everyone was in support of this move and one of them in particular was Mendy who gave credible reasons as to why he wasn't feeling too excited about the mission ahead.
"So what now? You aren't suggesting we quit, are you?" Jessica asked, relaying her question to none other than Mendy. The latter stared back at her with a number expression and knowing her fellow gang member well, she knew anytime he offered no response, it was more likely than not that he did it because the one asking the question had said it themselves.
"If only there was a way we could gather more members. I do feel like time is the only thing that we have on our side, at the least," Ellie mentioned.
"Time? I doubt that!" Kan interjected, disagreeing with Ellie's statement. "At the moment, time is like a pregnant wife to be very lady and her mood swings to be honest. Time is on our side as well as the Gecko brotherhood's. Look, the longer we wait means that we are giving them a chance to plan a bigger attack, one that I'm quite certain we won't be gathered here right after to discuss," Kan pointed out.
The gang saw sense in what he was saying but got thrown off by the analogy he had used to begin with. It was beginning to sink in that there were different characters amongst them and as such, certain verbal usage would seem strange to them. All the same, they knew accommodating and adjusting to one of their own was key to fostering a stronger gang relationship.
"I get where you are headed Kan. The only chance we stand is a counterattack while the issue is still fresh on ground. However, I doubt they wouldn't be prepared for that as well. Hell, four of their members have gone missing for a week now. I'm pretty sure it's only a matter of time like Kan said before they trace it back to us, that's if they don't know already," Mendy further shed light on the matter. It was incomprehensible to think that the situation between them and the Gecko brotherhood would suddenly die down in that manner.
"So, like I asked before, what do you suggest?" Jessica said, her tone sounding quite animated. It was clear the entire situation was starting to frustrate her which in her defence, no one could blame her as everyone involved, even the twins, were equally sweating their brains off to think of something.
"Whatever we are going to do has to be fast," Mendy added and at this point, Jessica had just about had enough as she stormed out of the living room to the kitchen to have some space to herself. Kan looked at her, not quite sure about what to feel concerning her attitude. She seemed to always be the one with the uptight attitude and sour mood all the time.
He had on occasions tried to reason with her and see from her own angle. From what he knew, he would say the whole gang issue was eating deep into her and would probably recommend a break from it. However, knowing how hyper dedicated she seemed to be and had demonstrated on several occasions, it wasn't wild to assume that she would turn down the offer to rest, especially not with the twins in the picture, this was where she was even more dedicated.
"I may have an idea although I'd need hands following through with it," Kan suddenly sprung out of the couch with a smile tucked by the corner of his lips. Instantly, the living room seemed to come alive as even Jessica rushed back in seeing the excited movements and noise made.

After hearing kan's idea, they all collectively did one thing.
"What?!" Ellie asked.
"That's not gonna work!!" Sully shook his head confidently as he stood by whatever Jessica said or implied.
"Well, we haven't tried yet. I mean, I'm down to hear what you guys have. Anyone?!!" Kan left the floor open for a better suggestion since his was getting thrown out of the window. Even Ellie seemed not too sure of what to say about what he had proposed to them.
"Well, I wouldn't rule it out completely. I mean, with the right planning and tools on ground, we could actually pull it off!" Mendy suddenly sprung up too like he had just had a eureka moment or something of that sort. Now the look of incredulity was passed down to him, leaving Kan space to breath for a moment from all the judging looks he got.
"So we are seriously going to go with this?!!" Jessica asked, her tone conveying surprise. With no certain answer from anyone, she took it that it was what they were going with. She then sighed, found the purse she had come along with, a bright yellow and black one, looked at the twins and nodded her head towards the door, signalling to them that it was time to leave.
"I've got to go guys. The twins need to prep for school tomorrow!" Jessica said, leaving without a response from the people she had just talked to.
"Just to be clear and hopefully, Mendy you relay this to Jessica or nevermind, I will. Kan's idea is not the final thing. Let's all sleep over it. Whoever can come up with a better one is welcomed to share. In the meantime, since you and kan seem to have it all figured out, I suggest you proceed with putting the plans into motion!" Ellie stated.
[You seem to be fitting in well, baby] Hela chimed in to say.
"Yeah, thanks for reminding me. I wouldn't have come up with the idea without you in the first place," Kan replied, appreciating Hela's secret input.
[Hehe, just here to make your life better,] Hela responded proudly.
