ODDS OF LOVE : SEASON TEN

Episode 94

" What do you mean someone stole his walker ? ," Gerald HighTower exclaimed in amazement as he sat behind his desk doing paperwork with reading glasses perched on the tip of his nose.

Angel said," I mean someone, most likely a student, stole his walker. You know that thing that enables him to walk without falling. "

Angel looked almost mad. No. He was mad. His blue eyes glinted with icicles of fury and his lips were thinned in one stubborn line. And his arms were crossed over his scrub top wearing chest.

Gerald wasn't exactly happy with this news either. Especially with who it had affected.
" Where is Mr. Giadello now ? ," he demanded to know. " Is he alright? Does he need any assistance? "

Angel sighed. " He's upset. And he really can't walk very well without that thing. He's embarrassed as well. He's actually in the clinic calling his mother to see if she can bring him his cane or possibly buy another walker. I got an aide from another class to tend to his class for now. "

Gerald nodded. " Good thinking. Well this is not the Barrington way. I will not tolerate this." He banged his hand on his desk. " I am going to hold an assembly this afternoon to discuss what happened and that bullying is not tolerated here in any form. Against staff or students. I want you there. I wish Dr. Lane could be here for it as well. This is very serious. If I find out who did it they will face a very serious punishment. At least a week of suspension. "

Angel pursed his lips before speaking. " That's good. I think we also need to do something as part of the anti bullying program. Something to increase empathy among the students for people who are differently abled and such. I'll devise some ideas later. Maybe I'll pick DuBuis' brain for ideas too. "

Gerald nodded briskly. " Good idea. How is the doctor? He is returning next week you know. I still can't believe that stroke. And that sister and brother in law of his. Terrible. "

" He's fine. To my knowledge. "

Gerald stood up from his chair and moved to the open door. " If you don't mind I'm going to go check on Alfred..... I mean Mr. Giadello. "
