How did you know?

Ok, so Mr B stuffs up in this one without even knowing it. He's not perfect, that's all I'm going to say. I hope this doesn't grate on you. We have the benefit of seeing their thoughts, Sang doesn't, and she's never had anyone to trust before.

Part Fifty-Nine

Mr Blackbourne's POV

Vile man! I stared down at the pink phone in my hand and very nearly threw it through the closest window.

He had been furious when I had come on the phone, yelling about peodophiles, inappropriate contact between teachers and students, he had threatened me with going to the school board unless I returned Sang to the house immediately.

I had very quickly shut him up with that threat. But he had made me show my hand and for that I was livid.

I slid her phone into my pocket for safe keeping. I couldn't go back up there yet, but I needed to talk to Sean. I needed to get this out of my head before my anger made me do or say something I would regret. I drew my own phone out and white flagged him. He'd be down here in ten seconds flat. And he was.

"Owen?" he came down the stairs in his sweats, pulling a shirt over his head.

"Come outside," I commanded shortly and without even looking back at him, I stuffed my feet into my boots, grabbed my jacket and unlocked the door. I heard him come up behind me silently, putting his own boots and jacket on.

I waited till we were at the bottom of the pier, my breath misting in the cool morning air. We would most definitely need to take Sang shopping for warmer clothes soon, and this time I would pay for some of them as well. And I wasn't about to let her bastard of a father take that away from me, from any of us. She was mine now, ours and I'd see him in hell before I let him screw this up for us.

"He threatened the school board on us. Called us peodophile teachers."

"He's got a nerve!" Sean shot out. "He was seeing Sang's mother when she was 15 and he was 32!!! Short fucking memory! And we're not peodophiles!!"

"He knows we know," I said and knew that I wouldn't need to say anymore than that.

"Damn!" Sean slid his hand over his face. "What did he say?"

"It took the wind out of his sails, especially when I told him that I have her birth certificate in a safe place. I told him that we knew he had an affair with a 15 year old girl and got her pregnant, he blustered but then he started to back peddle. We have him where we want him, but he's now on the offensive, which means he's going to be actively covering his tracks regarding Sang's real mother."

"Well, we'll just have to work harder to work it out before he can totally hide it," he said and I nodded.

"He was still insistent that we return her home, claiming that Marie shouldn't be on her own there. I told him she was with Danielle for the week and he shut up pretty quickly, which tells me he already knew. I told him that we would not be leaving here till Saturday and that Sang was perfectly safe and her virtue was intact and would remain that way. I got angry and told him, and I quote "that we don't all think it's right to fuck an underage girl."

"Did you really say virtue?" he asked with a snort and I sagged slightly and pushed my hand up the back of my neck and into my hair.

"Yes, it was the only word that came to mind," I admitted and his low laugh brought my anger right down.

"I don't want to go the Academy for help in finding out about her," Sean said and I snorted now.

"No way; they'd swoop on her so fast all we'd see is dust. We're on our own for this one."
