I don’t know how I managed to walk home. It was a story I had already heard him blurt out in anger but, sadness I sensed in the Inspector’s voice haunted me better than the voice ever could. And the fact that my Dad was responsible twisted the knife in just a bit further. Also...Although I didn't want to admit it there was the fact I kept thinking of the old woman...850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfx9gFAtd9x
Nancy and Jennifer were both standing at the gates, both looking even more miserable than I felt.850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA88j8z5mJA

“What’s wrong?” I asked quickly. But I had a feeling I knew. T850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOfpTi09Xy

Nancy opened her mouth to speak but Jenny spoke first. “I…I want…There’s something I have to tell you. I'm sorry I didn't earlier but...”850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL44Z2MJJnS

“Blackmail…” Nancy said. There was no malice in her voice, just a sad resignation. She put an arm around Jenny’s shoulders and continued. “Today morning Jenny’s Dad had a visitor.”850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXlYp3HQTX

Jenny broke into such loud sobs that Nancy had to stop comfort her again. After the crying stopped Jenny took up the story. “Do you know who it was? Roy Sir…”850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65mZyHpcqN

Roy Sir…Our always joking and happy Physics Master. At least that was what he had been till Jolly train wrecked his life. His whole family was a broken mess now and I think it’s simply because he’s too shattered that he has not given resignation and walked away from the wretched school.850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHuATOR7Vr

Jennifer wept so bitterly that she almost sank to the floor. After she was back in control of herself she looked at me with swollen red eyed for almost a whole minute before going on.850Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0xEEHM3lc
