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...744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQ0kc1Mx6S
Nancy and Jennifer were both standing at the gates, both looking even more miserable than I felt.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNhkiRppHf

“What’s wrong?” I asked quickly. But I had a feeling I knew. T744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGx7d757w8j

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...”744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqDuWNSdGb

She sighed and looked away. I saw tears glistening in her eyes.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjjw2JMuYe

“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.”744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTY51tiQQeT

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…”744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuaGPqIwLr

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.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRnky1bTTT

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.744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxVRsMQmIQ

“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."744Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6MeA2j0a9
