33 - game plan

When Richie gets to the car he greets everyone with a hug and gets in Bev's van with the rest of his friends. No one even questions the hugging because they all know well enough that Richie's an emotional roller coaster

"So where are we going?" Richie asks buckling up in the passengers seat which Stan gave up for him

Bev buckled too "I don't exactly know, but we needa go somewhere to make our plan"

"Diner?" Mike suggests

"Q-quarry?" Bill adds

"...bird watching?" Stan asks, with a hopeful smile. Bill pats his back "Probably n-not today Stan but w-we'll take you soon"

Beverly steps on the gas, still not sure where to go "I'm sick of the diner we go there like everyday"

"How about the park?" Richie suggests, remembering that time he went there with Eddie

"Sure!" Bev smiles, taking a turn at the end of Richie's block heading to the park

Once they arrive, Mike runs to the picnic table by the big climbing tree and claims it. The rest of the losers walk to the picnic table and sit down

"Alright" Bev says, pulling out a notepad and pen and slamming it down on the wooden table "So I was having tea with my grandma-"

"Wait wait wait" Richie stops her holding in a laugh "I'm sorry but you had TEA with your grandma? Like, a tea party?"

"Yes, Richard, we have early morning tea parties on Sunday's is that a problem?"

"Not at all" Richie says in his British guy voice

"Anyways" Bev continues "So I was having tea with my grandma and she was telling me about this awful woman in town that sent her boy to a gay conversion camp, I asked her for details but she couldn't even confirm that it was Mrs. Kaspbrak that she heard about. I just assumed it was though, obviously"

"I hate that bitch" Richie growls "she called earlier saying that I like sexually harassed Eddie or something and I just completely lost it"

"I f-f-fucking hate her" Bill stutters out, crossing his arms. He doesn't let anyone get away with messing with his best friends

"I know, that's why we needa get him back!" Bev states

Richie glances over at Bev, who's at the other end of the table from him "But how?"

"Well I have a plan. Kinda. It needs some adjustments!"

"Let's hear it" Stan and Richie both say eagerly

She opens her notepad to a page with lots of writing on it, filled with all the information she knows about the situation. She feels kinda bad for interrogating her grandma, but she needs all the information she can get

"So first of all, we need to figure out where the hell he even is, like which conversion camp. I can do that by going to Mrs. K's house maybe in like disguise and ask because I need to find one for my son or something, we can make something up when the time comes" Bev rants "Then after that we can find a way in by visiting him if there's a visiting area, and scope out the place and figure out where we can bust him out like a vent or through the court yard if they have one. We can figure that out once we see the place though. Then we can get help from maybe like Winnie or something and all go bust him out. It's a long shot, but we have to try!"
