Sighs heavily It's been a while, huh? I need your help?
Looks down for a moment, then looks up Well, I used to be a teacher... but then I got framed for something I didn't do.
Shit that sounds rough, did you get fired or what?
Yeah... I got fired. The school believed the accusations without even giving me a chance to defend myself. It was... devastating.
Wow…., oh sorry by the way
Thank you... it means a lot to hear that. Smiles faintly
So…..what exactly are you asking me for?
I was wondering if you could help me prove my innocence. You're really good at finding things out and... uh... doing stuff, right?
Well yeah, but why would I help you? Don’t get me wrong I’d love to help but….why?
If I can prove my innocence, it will clear my name and restore my reputation.
Thank you so much! I really appreciate it. Relieved smile So, where do we start? Do you have any ideas on how to gather evidence?
Just tell me everything that happened
Takes a deep breath Well, the accusation was that I cheated on a test with one of my students. It was ridiculous, I would never do something like that!
But... there was this one student, he always seemed a bit off. He would often come to my classroom late and leave early.
Interesting, why do you think he was “off”?
Well, he seemed nervous all the time, and he had these big bags under his eyes.
Ahhh I see, have you seen him recently?
No, I haven't seen him since the whole ordeal happened. But maybe we can find him and ask him some questions.
Maybe we can, what’s the school name?
Takes out her phone and opens a document Here's the name and address of the school.
Okay…..later at the school…….
Looks around nervously We should be careful, they might be watching us. Let's act casual and try to gather as much information as we can.
Yeah sure, so who exactly do you want me to look for?
Points to a man standing by the entrance That man over there, he was the student who always seemed off. Let's go talk to him.
Approaches the man and smiles Hi there, I hope I'm not bothering you. I just wanted to ask you a few questions. Man: Nervously Um, sure, what do you want to know?
Puts on a serious expression Look, I don't know how this is going to go, but I promise I won't let anything happen to you. Trust me, okay?
Grabs the man's arm and pulls him into an empty classroom
Locks the door behind them Look, I need you to tell me the truth. Did you cheat on that test or not?
Glares at the man Answer me, now! Did you cheat or not?
Steps closer to the man, her voice firm I said, did you cheat or not?! Don't make me repeat myself!
