NOTE: In case you dont remember, Mr. Saxon one of Sang's new teachers and she's never actually gone to his class so far. Don't hate me, the weekend's coming. I'll try for another update by Sunday.

As Stephen King once famously remarked, "An opening line should say: Listen. Come in here. You want to know about this."

Standing in front of my classroom, I eyed the desk that had remained empty in this period since classes had resumed.

It belonged to one Ms. Sang Sorenson.

I did assigned seating purposely, and yet my goal had never been reached. She would be center class, smack dab in front of my desk. She would have no choice but to get to know me. And I would enlist her assistance in helping to clean up this school along with my brethren.

But all of that would not be possible if she never showed.

So I did something to ensure her presence today, the last day before the students would be out of school for 2 full weeks for Christmas break.

She would be irritated, probably beyond that, but the Blackbourne team had assured us of her assistance and we'd been stone walled at every end. It was either she help us now, or the Academy pulls the plug on the entire mission.

I gave Ms. Sorenson my 'opening line' via the students as well as a backup just in case the so-called grapevine was not up to snuff.

Now all I had to do was wait for her to show up.

POV: Mr. Hendricks

--------

Those idiots were going to get caught, Hendricks thought amusedly as he watched students interacting in illegally placed cameras within the school.

A young male student reached out quickly and 'shook the hand' of another male student, one who was obviously doing something wrong. The student was glancing around nervously and even through the camera Hendricks could see him nearly vibrating in place.

After the handshake was completed, the two gentleman went their separate ways but Hendricks needed only to switch to another camera to follow the one who had received the package. He didn't even wait until he was safely in the woods near the school's perimeter before he dug into the bag and the camera clearly picked up the gleam of a syringe.

Hendricks knew exactly what that was. It'd been ordered by him and camoflauged as textbooks order for a female teacher that didn't even exist.

Hendricks himself had had the drug aerosolized and dispersed through the venting system just a few days ago, a mere experiment yo see how far the situation could go in so little time.

That was not the main goal though. Hendricks would need a distraction because, when the day was over, he would be sitting on a beach on an island somewhere surrounded by nothing but water, and beautiful women who'd do anything for him once they realized how rich he was.

And he'd get away with it too. If those damn Academy people just stay out of his business.

He agreed to 7 students and 2 instructors coming in before the whole Last Day incident but only because that damn idiot Hudson had screwed up an order and put Hendricks' real name and the real name of the product on the school inventory log.

Bringing in the Academy people was a good enough distraction that he was able to take the system completely out of use for nearly an entire day and delete any traces of his involvement.

Now though, now Hendricks was suspicious.

Sure he'd given a few students orders to get rid of those Academy idiots. After he was done, he didnt need a distraction. They simply were no longer useful to him.

Blackbourne had, however, returned with a vengeance it seemed.

There were new teachers and new students that Hendricks knew nothing about.

But he did know the perfect little flunky to find out.

Allowing that stupid Rank Rivalry crap to go on was great for him because 1. it kept the kids from bothering him--literally the only students he had to interact with were the so called 1's and that was rare. and 2. he needed patsies to go down at the end of all of this and it sure as hell wouldn't be him.

Rocky and Gregory were already fully implicated; once Hendricks was gone, the shit would hit the fan and splatter all over them.

Now he needed Sang to go down.

The phone rang, he answered gleefully and enjoyed his concerned tone as he convinced Mrs. Sorenson that he was worried for her daughter. It was the second call he'd made but the last was just to see what would be done.

Now he knew Mrs. Sorenson would actually be a benefit to his plan. He just needed Sang in the right place at the right time.

He suggested she take a girls day to get her daughter to open up about her 'problems.'

She assured him that was already in the works. He even gave her an idea for a place to go and the best time to go there, to share a quality meal.

Sang Sorenson was going to be the final piece and Hendricks could tell this entire town to kiss his ass. And she'd be such a mess in the end that all of her high and mighty 1 bullshit wouldn't count for anything.
