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...810Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmW964jDwI
Nancy and Jennifer were both standing at the gates, both looking even more miserable than I felt.810Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wxvIhorVK

“What’s wrong?” I asked quickly. But I had a feeling I knew. T810Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCHVLbKkx8

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...”810Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPQtLZVgTj

She sighed and looked away. I saw tears glistening in her eyes.810Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xGXeKLzjy

“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.”810Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZldwGAPrPM

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…”810Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEoq18YiiL6

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.810Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIjN0T1tyJ

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.810Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjpJsuO8WZ
