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...700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMc8mFEl8DR
Nancy and Jennifer were both standing at the gates, both looking even more miserable than I felt.700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKeNXDzMAf

“What’s wrong?” I asked quickly. But I had a feeling I knew. T700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTAoAnaZZj

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...”700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwCNdXGFdE

She sighed and looked away. I saw tears glistening in her eyes.700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6CBd7RZ9v

“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.”700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5glEUsmJs9

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…”700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60TaSIkzne

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.700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJt1XNtwbEW

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.700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PE29R7iKv

“He said he would reveal that…My Dad helped Uncle Elias to murder Jolly’s parents. He said…He said he would tell the Inspector that My Dad and Uncle Elias have the greatest motive to want Jolly dead."700Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ840pZokix4
