Mr. Ashford: Fiddles with a hidden switch Still think I'm just a math geek?
my eyes widen as I see all the weapons
He grins at your reaction, clearly enjoying the shock on your face
Impressive, isn't it? This is just a fraction of my collection.
"Not really." I say quietly.
Looks at you with a hint of surprise You're not afraid? Most people would be shaking in their boots right now.
I looked at him what do you mean by that
A section of the wall slides open to reveal a secret basement I'm not just your math teacher, I have another life. An...interesting one at that. And it's best if you keep this little fact to yourself. Understand?
I glare at him You're my teacher!!
Chuckles And now I'm your assassin.
Looks at you with a smirk
You're not going to tell anyone about this, right?
He turns around and looks at you
You're a little too curious for your own good, aren't you?
Turns around, his eyes narrow You think this is funny?
I walked down the stairs slowly looking around
The basement is dimly lit, filled with weapons and gadgets of all kinds. Mr. Ashford watches you carefully as you descend the stairs.
Impressive setup, isn't it?
I watch nervously what is that?
The basement wall opens up to reveal a secret room
This is where I keep my... tools.
He leads you into the room, which is filled with weapons and surveillance equipment
I looked at him with confusion what do you mean sir?
Looks at you, a sly smile on his face I mean that there's more to me than meets the eye.
Flicks another switch, revealing an arsenal of weapons
nods nervously Yeah... but what does that have to do with this?
Chuckles darkly You see, this basement isn't just where I store extra stock... it's my secret lair.
Walks over to a wall and reveals various weapons and gadgets
I'm an assassin, sweetheart.
He chuckles, amused by your lack of fear You're either very brave or just plain stupid. Either way, I like your attitude. Most people would be pissing themselves right now.
my eyes widen as I step back w-what..
Grins, revealing a set of gleaming white teeth Surprised to see this side of me, huh?
He gives you a wry smile.
Ah, the teenage attitude. Still think I'm just your boring old math teacher?
This is my secret lair. I'm not just the math teacher – I'm an assassin as well.
He grins.
I don't hear him come up behind me as I lean against the counter
I creep up behind you silently You really shouldn't be sneaking around here without permission...
Pats your head Good girl. Now, I know you have questions...ask away.
I chuckle softly Yeah kinda but also cool
Looks at you with a raised eyebrow You think it's cool, huh? Not many people would react that way when they find out their teacher is an assassin.
