"Here we are!" Bridget exclaimed when the group finally reached her house. Once they went inside, her foster father asked, "Hey, Bridget, where have you been?" Bridget replied, "Oh, I just came from the city square, pa. And look who I met there." With a pleasantly surprised look, he said, "My! It's Nicholas!" Bridget responded, "That's right! He came here to check on me. I thought it was very sweet of him." Her father remarked, "That's really nice." He then asked Nicholas, "So, what else brings you here to Manchester?" Nicholas replied, "Well, we came here to help investigate what caused the disruption of your city's water supply and restore it. This is courtesy of my friend, Rosie." "That's right. Greetings, by the way, sir." Added Rosie. Bridget's father replied as he shook her hand, "Greetings to you, too. So, you're going to try to restore our water, eh?" Rosie replied, "Yep, and Bridget is going to help us with the plan." Bridget nodded in agreement. Her father remarked, "Well, I think it's wonderful of you to do that." "Thank you very much." Replied Rosie. Bridget's father said, "You're welcome. Let me give you a map of the entire city so you can use it as a guide in planning out your mission. You can also bring it so you and your group won't get lost." Rosie exclaimed, "Splendid!" After Bridget's father gave them the map, they proceeded to the dining room to study it. Bridget explained to the others that the source from where the water supply comes from is a series of giant pipes, which together form part of the Greater Manchester Water Plant. These pipes are located just outside of the city, and it would take around thirty minutes getting there by foot. Since it was already evening, the group decided that it's best to start the journey tomorrow morning. They will also bring some cleaning supplies and sterilizers for added advantage. With the plan all set, everyone went to sleep with high hopes of success in bringing the water back.
