Excerpt 7.4.13

Everyone sat in front of her, looking very tired.
She did not feel tired at all anymore. She took another sip of coffee nonetheless.
Then she snapped the stick against the blackboard.
The sound made everyone flinch and all eyes snapped towards her immediately.
Very good.
“They are probably together right now, figuring out, how they can work together and when they should tell who”
She pointed at the first picture. It was of two stick figures sitting on a bed.
“We are sitting in my kitchen, talking about them” she pointed at the second small picture which seemed to represent the kitchen they sat in. Every single one of them was on the picture, represented by a stick figure.
“We know what they are doing, but we won’t tell them”
The stick moved towards the next picture. It was a crossed out speech bubble.
“What we will do though it watching them” She pointed at the eyes she had drawn. “When there should be problems we will meet again and discuss what exactly we have to do”
There was an arrow leading down from the eyes, back to the picture with the kitchen. She pointed at it, then she moved her stick back towards the eye.
“If everything goes well we will wait for them to tell us” She moved the stick along another arrow to a picture of a clock.
“If they have not told us at the end of next month even though they continue to look happy we will confront them.”
She moved the stick to the last picture.
There were two speech bubbles,  one with a question mark in it, and one with an exclamation mark.
“Any questions?”
The others shook their heads. Satisfied she took another sip of her coffee, which had cooled down quite a bit.
All would turn out well, she was sure of it.
