The Adventures of Monday Addams and Wednesday Addams

Chapter 76-Expelled

"Sheriff Galpin isn't pressing kidnapping charges. Which is a miracle given the circumstances."

"Of course not." Monday turned to the Sheriff "How long have you known?"

"Excuse me?" Sheriff Galpin asked.

"When I gave you that claw from the cave, did you already know?" She clarified.

"Monday, that's enough."

Galpin sighed "Xavier Thorpe is our Hyde. We've got evidence, thanks to you. That's why I'm giving you one pass."

"Tyler is going to turn on you too." Monday told him.

"Let's go." Weems said pulling the girls in toll.

"Get out." Sheriff Galpin said.

"We... Wednesday, wait." Tyler said running towards her.

"Tyler! No, no, what are you doing?" Galpin asked.

"I need to talk to her, Dad. She was my friend." Tyler said. He got a strange look from the sheriff. "We're in a police station. What's gonna happen?" Tyler argued.

"Make it quick."

"What do you want?" Wednesday seethed.

"To ask a question. What does it feel like?"

"What does what feel like?" Wednesday asked.

"To lose. You know, at first, I'd wake up naked, covered in blood, no idea what happened. But over time, I started to remember everything. The sound of their screams, the panic in their eyes, and a fear so primal I could taste it. And it was delicious. You have no idea what's coming."

"The quid pro quo for Sheriff Galpin not pressing charges is your immediate expulsion from Nevermore." Weems explained.

"The others had nothing to do with this. We acted alone." Wednesday told her.

"For people who claim to have no friends, you certainly protect them."

"They didn't have guts to do what needed to be done."

"You mean kidnapping and torture? I should hope not" Weems argued.

"You do realize that Tyler brutally disemboweled six people, then harvested a variety of their body parts." Wednesday said.

"Perhaps if you'd come to me with your suspicions rather than take matters into your own hands, we could've worked together."

"Because trust and cooperation have always been hallmarks of our relationship." Monday asked sarcastically.

"I admire your ability to be your own persons and trust your own instincts. But that also makes you impatient and impulsive. Your actions have put me and the school in an impossible position." Weems told them.

"Tyler is the Hyde. And he has framed Xavier." Monday told her impatiently.

"He confessed everything to me!" Wednesday told her.

"I wish I could believe you." Weems said sadly.

Monday was desperate a this point "His mother was an outcast. She was a student here, you must remember her. She was a Hyde!"

"Yes, Francois. A lovely woman. I didn't ask what she identified as." Weems said.

"Then give us more time, and we can prove they are Hydes." Wednesday pleaded.

"There is no more time, and there are no more deals, Wednesday. Pack your steamer trunks. We will have them shipped. And say your goodbyes. You'll be on the afternoon train tomorrow. I'm sorry Nevermore didn't work out for you, girls. I'm sure your mother will be very disappointed. And so am I."
