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...662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfh2GxlX35
Nancy and Jennifer were both standing at the gates, both looking even more miserable than I felt.662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07cNfS7Pa7

“What’s wrong?” I asked quickly. But I had a feeling I knew. T662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCGTDUbWcJ

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...”662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡia6RalpJ0q

She sighed and looked away. I saw tears glistening in her eyes.662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcJtB2IaTw

“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.”662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KR8iUHbZB

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…”662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lwjD0C5Ac
662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydwVuWhyZB
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.662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUVfOITJkj

“Of course not!” She cried. “What he wanted was…My Dad should go to his wife and tell the truth. Or else…else…”662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprEBUCH4Qd

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.662Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWQ1HAZhBU
