Code Lyoko: Revolutions and Evolutions

Chapter 53

AN: This chapter came after a lot of thought and a lot of prayer and contemplation because I had no idea just how I wanted to proceed with my plot. But, thanks be to God, it turned out so much better than I'd hoped. Oh, by the way, after some help from a very good friend, I have decided that I will be going to make Watt Pad my new second home for this fic. Don't worry! I will still upload here as always. But Watt Pad is my second home. Just in case my worst fears come true.

Anyway, I hope you all enjoy this chapter, review, and I'll see you next week.-Pagliacci-11

The morning was very quiet. Not even the birds had fallen into their usual habit of singing. Jean-Pierre looked outside his office window at the courtyard below. He knew the time it was seven-thirty in the morning. In an hour he had to make and address to the student body. However, this was not the worry on his mind.

As Jean-Pierre watched over the vacant courtyard, he thought, "Something's up. Why would she arrive only to stay roughly a week and some change and then leave? It's not her style. But she's gone now. I received the news from Yolanda last night. An apparent auto accident. She had her school ID on her and they transferred the call to Yolanda who relayed the news. No, something is not right. It just isn't, I feel it."

Jean-Pierre slowly walked away from his window and he sat at his desk. He reached into the second drawer of his desk and pulled out his own field kit.

Popping it open, he read the following, Kit disabled.

"Damn," he said silently, "I guess I have to do this the old-fashioned way."

He called Nicole at the front desk, "Hello, Nicole, please do not allow any incoming calls or visitors for the space of an hour. I need to make a private call."

Once he had finished, he hung up, picked up the receiver again, and flipped the switch underneath his phone's stand. There was a red flash three times and Jean-Pierre proceeded to dial.

There was a call for three rings and a voice on the other line said, "Code In."

Delmas replied, "ED0157843."

The voice replied, "How may I help you, Delmas?"

"I need to be transferred to Internal Affairs."

"Anyone in particular?"

"Hopper."

"Hopper has been reassigned. I can transfer you to Ishiyama if that will do."

"It'll have to."

There was a slight tone and Akiko spoke on the other line, "Wells here."

"Good Morning, Miss. Wells. We have an update to the account."

"Okay, go ahead."

"As you rightly told me, the Man from Uncle was a great series. However, I wasn't particularly impressed with the ending." (As you predicted, Sylvia would surface. Unfortunately, she has apparently been killed.)

"I more than understand it's not for everyone. What didn't you like about it?" (Okay, how did you allow that to happen? How did it happen?)

"I just felt there were a few inconsistencies. I didn't exactly care for the cast, and besides, it was one of those forgettable things." (It's not my fault. She blindsided me when she arrived, and apparently, she died in an auto accident.)

"Inconsistency, especially in serials happen by default. Tell you what, we can meet over coffee and discuss your thoughts in-depth. How does around three sound, when we're both free?" (It is your fault when it's your campus and security detail. Here's what's happening. You will meet me on the south entrance and talk about just what happened. Be there thirty minutes after you break the news."
