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...813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmVgbyAi9z
Nancy and Jennifer were both standing at the gates, both looking even more miserable than I felt.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABGwFlyvTz

“What’s wrong?” I asked quickly. But I had a feeling I knew. T813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5IkwRCYp7c

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...”813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLb1k9J6nbq

“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.”813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7I2icoB58G

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…”813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkh0324ZxU

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.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOdcHH0YyQ

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.813Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUgmmv8C2y
