Immaculate

Perfect but not infallible

Part Twenty-Eight

Mr Blackbourne's POV

Sang was almost bouncing on the spot, her excitement was contagious and I just wanted to sweep her up and dance with her myself.... although it would be more the Two Step than the flinging around the students were doing here. Some of them looked like they were having a fit, my boys included. I told her to go and dance and she took off like a bullet from a gun, jumping straight onto Luke and jumping as if her life depended on it. I had to admit I had never seen her so uninhibited, but she was having fun and she needed this.

I cast my eyes over the other students and snorted, they were all jumping now and several of them looked as if they were close to passing out. I knew it was almost time to finish soon and I was looking forward to going back to Nathan's with them all. My phone vibrated in my pocket and I drew it out.

Sean: Kids escorted home by parents. How is it possible for a parent to be so blinkered they can't blame anyone but the school?

I sighed and leant back against the wall as I typed my response.

Mr Blackbourne: If the parents weren't so blinkered, half the problems wouldn't happen. Discipline should start at home, but sadly it doesn't.

Sean: I wish we could wrap this up quicker here, get them all out of this school.

I sighed wanting the exact same thing. I turned to where a kid came barrelling over to get some of the drinks that lay on the table.

"Be careful," I snapped at him when he almost spilt the bottle of juice he was pouring into a paper cup. I had been watching this table, because I wouldn't put it past one of these idiots to slip something into the drinks. I looked down at Sang's empty water bottle. I had another in my pocket if she required it later.

I looked up to see her dancing but I couldn't see any of them. But then Victor came through and mouthed that they were taking her to the bathroom. I nodded, glad that they weren't letting her go alone. I had reiterated earlier to them the importance of keeping her in our sights at all times, but I didn't need to really. She was as important to them as she was to me.

My phone vibrated again and I saw Victor move for his as well, it must be a group text.

Gabriel: We can't find Sang!

My head snapped up to look at Victor.

"What does he mean he can't find Sang? She was with him just a minute ago," he cried out and I heard the fear in his voice clearly. It was echoed in my heart.

"Locate her phone, Mr Morgan," I instructed him and turned to climb up the wooden frames that were folded back against the walls. I searched the students but couldn't see her anywhere and then I saw Luke was doing the same the other side of the gym, his hood was back and he shook his head at me when he caught my eye. She wasn't in the gym.

"I just sent her a text and this is what she sent back," Victor said and his voice was hushed. I jumped to the floor and took the phone from him.

Sang: I'm fine, leave me alone for a bit, I need some air.

"She didn't send that did she?" he said but I could hear from his voice that he already knew the answer.

"Victor, did you get a location?" I demanded and tried her phone again but it was switched off now. Whoever had her had either destroyed it or switched it off.

"Only her last location, she's in the main building somewhere," he said. Gabriel and Luke came pushing through, their faces masks of worry.

I texted North and Silas.
