Jennifer waited with much excitement as she sat in a booth next to Rebecca.

“Here he comes,” Rebecca said, as she looked toward the door.

“And he has Timothy with him,” Jennifer whispered. For she did not at all like Timothy, the redheaded man that had gone to meet Jacob, possibly. He was a man that was very quiet and kept to himself, but it seemed that he was an outlaw of sorts, and though she had experience with an outlaw, she found this man to be somewhat frightful.

“Jennifer, thanks for meeting with us. We have a proposition. Your work writing the articles have has been priceless, but we want to take it a step further with the publishing.”

“You do? You wish me to write something else?” Jennifer asked.

“No, but we do wish you to help us and what we want to publish next.”

“And what would that be?”

“You mentioned in a previous meeting, that you suspect your floor manager Mr. Evans to be somehow taking wages from workers. You mentioned that he spoke of a 10-hour day to the owner of the factory, and not the 12.”

“Yes, that is correct. When one of the owners, William Dawson, came to visit. But what does that have to do with publishing?” She asked.

“We want to publish the paperwork that shows this. Put it out on the streets for everyone to see that it is not just the owners, but also the factory for managers that make a profit off of the exhausted working conditions of people.”

Jennifer gasped. “You want me to steal the books?”

“No. Not exactly. We want you to open the back door to us, Timothy and I. Show us where the office is, and we will steal the book. All you have to do is walk by, open the door, and let us in. Then you can go back to your work and no one will notice. That is all you have to do.”

Jennifer's green eyes grew wide. This was very serious. If she was caught, she would lose her job, and possibly be put in jail. Then Adam would have no one to support his medication needs.

“I cannot do that. I apologise. There is too much on the line for me. I need that wage for my family. I cannot put it in jeopardy again. This factory is my work, and though I am not happy about it, I actually do need it, my younger brother needs it. He is very ill.”

“There was another that was very ill. Had the factory conditions changed, he would be alive. Do this for Kevin, do it in loving memory of him. Do it for all of those children that will follow his same path, if we publish this, it could start an investigation and end the horrid working conditions. There would be outrage all over London.” Billy said in his motivating way. He was very persuasive and charismatic. Jennifer felt the fire burning inside of her as soon as he mentioned Kevin.
