"Where has Mr Scott gone to?" Ardeth asked Jamie, who was wiping the windshield if the car they were fixing.

"No idea." Jamie shrugged, "He gave me the keys of this baby when I walked in, and drove away, it's been a long time he didn't return."

Ardeth nodded.

"Why aren't you at the college today?" Jamie questioned.

"I have Sociology class, and Soccer practice today." Ardeth said, "I don't want to the first one, and I was not allowed to participate in the latter." He sighed.

"Sorry about that." Jamie patted Ardeth, and Ardeth smiled nodding his head.

"Hey Ardeth." Johan called standing at the entrance of the garage.

"Hey Man." Ardeth greeted, "What's up?"

"My car broke down in the highway, I towed it till here." He said gesturing towards his car.

"That babe of yours looks hot." Jamie said walking towards Johan's car.

"It's not a babe, it's a dude." Johan frowned.

"The only babe in his life is his fiancee." Ardeth teased.

"That's true, Marcie becomes possessive if she gets to know there is a girl in my life other than her, and my mom, even if it is a non-living thing." Johan chuckled, shaking his head. "She is crazy, and I love her."

"Awww..." Jamie sighed dreamily from behind.

Ardeth, Johan, and Jamie were chatting, and cracking jokes as they fixed Johan's car, when Johan's phone went off.

"Excuse me, I have to take this call, it's Brian." Johan said as he answered the call. "Brian, what's up man?"

"What?!" Johan shouted gaining Ardeth, and Jamie's attention. "I am on my way." He said furiously.

"Everything's alright?" Ardeth asked Johan.

"No, some problem in the college." Johan said taking deep breathe, "I think you should come with me, I don't know what it is but it has something to do Marcie, and Sherlyn."

"What happened?" Ardeth panicked.

"I don't know, Brian was saying that something happened with Sherlyn and Marcie, and asked me to hurry up." Johan said running towards the exit, with Ardeth following him.

"Watch out." Mr.Scott frowned at Johan, who came bumping into him.

"Sorry, we are in a hurry." Johan said as they rushed towards Ardeth's car.

"Hey, do you want me to drive you guys to college, I don't think it's a right thing let you guys drive when you are so panic-stricken." Jamie said rushing towards them.

"I think that's a good idea." Johan said as he looked at a pale Ardeth, who was trying to call Sherlyn.

"What's happening here?" Mr.Scott questioned.

"Some problem with their girlfriends at college." Jamie briefed.

"You continue the work, I will drive them to college." Mr.Scott said to Jamie, "Mr.Johnson will come to garage in thirty minutes for his car."

Jamie nodded.

"Get in." Mr.Scott said as he slipped into the driver seat.

Ardeth got down the car, as soon as it came to a halt, and ran inside the college.

"Sherlyn." Ardeth shouted as he saw the crowd gathered in the college, and began to run towards the crowd as his heart jumped a beat. He spotted Sherlyn standing beside Marcie, and crowd gathered around them.

"Ardeth." Sherlyn called him as soon as he came to the center of the crowd pushing everyone aside.

"Baby, are you alright?" Ardeth asked holding Sherlyn's shoulders as he checked her.

"Yes." Sherlyn nodded.

"Brian called Johan saying something happened with you, and Malti. I got scared." Ardeth said hugging Sherlyn.

"It's Marcie, and we are fine." Sherlyn whispered.

"What's happening here?" Johan shouted marching towards Marcie, as the crowd parted to give him way.

"Johan." Marcie rushed towards him.

"Marcie, what happened?" Johan asked looking around.

"Aren't you supposed to be on your way to uni?" Marcie asked Johan, dodging his question.

"I was, and then my car broke." Johan answered, "Brian told something happened with you and Sherlyn, what happened?" He asked again.

"Errmmm..." Marcie gulped looking around.

"Professor Ashford tried to molest Marcie." Brian dropped the bomb.

"WHAT!" Johan shouted furiously. "I am going to kill him." He said taking a step towards Professor Ashford's cabin.

"Johan, please calm down, I handled him." Marcie said holding Johan's face, and making him look at her.

"That asshole thought, he can lay a hand on my girl and get away with that." Johan gritted. "Don't stop me, Marcie. We should have taken care of him, when he misbehaved with Maggie, but now he is not getting away, where is he?"

"He is in the hospital." Marcie told him, "I kicked him hard in the place where the sun doesn't shine."

"I hope you kicked him hard, or else I will make sure to give a right dose." Johan said, "What happened?" He asked.

"I had a doubt in Sociology," Marcie said, "and Professor Ashford asked me to meet him in his office after the class hours, and when I went there he began to touch me inappropriately in the name of explaining the doubts, I protested but he said he will make me pass the exam with flying colours if I keep quiet, or else he would make sure I get a low grade otherwise. He tried to act smart, and I kicked him."

"It's good that you kicked him, but I will make sure he gets suspended and punished." Johan vowed.

"Ms. Jones into my cabin." Principal Paul said as he walked towards them.

"I am coming with you." Johan said as they walked towards the principal office.

"Ms.Jones, you have violated the college rules by kicking a professor." Mr.Paul said seated in his office.

"Are you serious?" Johan asked exasperated. "He molested my fiancee, and she kicked him in the act of self defence and you are blaming her for that?!"

"Mr. Wilkins, I know what happened, but instead of taking the path of Violence, she could have complained it to the higher authorities."

"Have you lost it, you asshole?" Johan asked furiously.

"Mr. Wilkins, don't forget I am the principal here."

"And don't forget I am no longer a student here."

"Excuse me." Mr.Scott said as he knocked on the door, and without waiting for permission he walked inside Mr.Paul's office.

"Who are you?" Principal Paul frowned.

"Daniel Scott." Mr.Scott answered.

"Whoever you are, you better no leak anything happened here to the outside world, as we don't want the reputation of our College to go in drain." Mr. Paul said and turned to Marcie.

"And Ms.Jones, I will let you go without any suspension, if you give a written apology, and non-disclosure." Mr. Paul told passing the papers and pen.

"Written apology my foot." Marcie snapped. "If there is anything it's you and the asshole, who owe me an apology."

"Ms.Jones, I am trying to be kind to you." Mr.Paul scowled.

"Mr.Paul." Mr.Scott spoke as he took a seat, "With all due respect, no one is going to give you any written apology, nor will you suspend anyone."

"Who are you to say that?"

"A dutiful citizen." Mr.Scott replied with a straight tone. "It won't take me a minute to call the media and paparazzi here, to let them know what has happened, and I wouldn't stop myself from telling them how you are trying to cover up your faults, and oppressing the victim from raising her voice." He said in a calm tone.

"And what proof do you have to prove your point?" Mr.Paul asked in a challenging tone.

"We have the victim herself ready to give the statement, won't you?" He asked Marcie.

"I will." Marcie answered.

"And I am sure, she is not the only victim in this college, once she raises her voice, all the others are going to support her." Mr.Scott shrugged.

"Yes, Rosalie, Maggie, and the others girls are ready to give their statement." Marcie added.

"Wonderful." Mr.Scott said raising from his seat, "Let me know if you need any help, Mr.Paul, I know a bunch of very good lawyers."

"You can't do that!" Mr.Paul shouted.

"Oh! Try us, asshole." Johan said as they walked out, not before giving a middle finger to the respected principal.

"Thanks for that, Mr.Scott." Marcie said with gratitude.

"It's nothing, are you serious, when you said you will give a statement against your professor?" Mr.Scott questioned.

"I am ready to give the statement, anytime, to anyone." Marcie said in a determined tone.

"Great, I have few friends in police and media, I will give them a call." Mr.Scott said pulling out his mobile and stepping aside.

"Marcie, is everything alright? I am sorry." Sherlyn said rushing towards Marcie and Johan.

"Chill down, cousin. I got it." Marcie smiled. "And Mr.Scott is helping us." He said gesturing towards Mr.Scott, who was speaking into his phone.

"Hey guys, just heard what happened." Nick said walking towards them with Collin. "Sorry, we weren't there when you needed."

"It's okay, we got it." Johan nodded.

"I hope that asshole gets to rott in the prison." Nick said muttering a string of curses.

"What's that in your hand?" Ardeth asked pointing at the envelope in Nick's hand.

"This? I was parking my car in the parking lot, when a strange person in dark hoodie and mask, gave me this. I was in a rush, so I didn't check what it is." Nick said inspecting the envelope.

"For Pete's sake, it could be something that could be potentially harmful or pull you into trouble, didn't your parents warn you about strangers?" Ardeth asked exasperated.

Come on, I was worried about Sherlyn and Marcie, do you think I should be standing on parking lot, investigating a stranger. Besides it's just an envelope, seems like some letter or paper, if it had been any parcel, I would have thought about it." Nick said opening the envelope.

"What's inside it?" Marcie asked.

"It's empty." Nick frowned as he shook the envelope.

"Why would anyone give an empty envelope?"  Ardeth frowned.

"May be some sort of prank." Johan answered.

"Or may be you dropped down the thing in envelope." Collin said as he squatted down to collect the small memory card, that was laying on the floor.

"Now what is it?" Marcie asked curiously.

"We wouldn't know unless we check." Nick said walking towards their computer lab.

"It's all dark." Johan commented as they watched the screen.

"Why would someone send a dark video?" Nick sighed.

"Look, there is some movement." Marcie pointed out at the screen, making them give the attention to the screen.

"It's Professor Ashford." Collin remarked.

"It's the video from last night." Sherlyn whispered in shock and surprise.

"What?" Ardeth raised his brow, and Sherlyn shook her head, hoping he didn't hear.

"Isn't that's Jackie?" Johan asked, "the one who slipped drugs into your bag?" He asked Ardeth.

Ardeth nodded.

They watched the heated exchange of words between Jackie, and Professor Ashford, and them exchanging drugs.

"Professor Ashford is going to rot in prison for sure." Nick laughed out loud jumping around in joy.

"Who gave you this envelope?" Ardeth asked in surprise.

"As I said I couldn't see the person's face." Nick said. "See, whoever it is they left the initial's on the envelope." He said pointing at the corner of the envelope.

"E.E." Sherlyn read running her thumb over the elegantly typed black and gold letters.

"Hey, I called Media, and Police they will be reaching here soon." Mr.Scott said as soon as he spotted Marcie, Sherlyn, Ardeth, and Johan.

"Thank you, Mr.Scott." They said in unison, and he nodded.

"Dan." A tall, dark man called standing in the corridor, he was dressed in a suit, and his brown shoulder length hair bounced with every step he took.

"Leo." Mr.Scott nodded. "These are the people I told you about."

"This is Niel, my friend, he works for the media house, he will help you guys to expose Mr.Ashford." Mr.Scott gave quick introductions.

"Aren't you the owner of Neilsen media house?" Nick asked looking at Niel.

"Yes, I am." Neil answered. "Dan, you better leave now, media is going to be here." He said to Mr.Scott.

"Okay, take care of the issue." Mr.Scott nodded, and walked away.

"He is Daniel Romano, isn't he?." Johan whispered out in surprise.

"You better keep your mouth shut, and not take his name anywhere." Neil said, "He is going through his own hell, so better not add paparazzi on the top."

"Mr.Scott...Mr.Scott..." Ardeth called, as he ran behind Mr.Scott.

"What?" Mr.Scott asked irately, as he held the car door open.

"I wanted to say thank you for what you did for us today." Ardeth said, "Thank you."

Mr.Scott nodded and looked at Ardeth, who was shifting on his feet.

"Do you have to say anything more?"

"I...you..." Ardeth hesitated.

Mr.Scott looked at Ardeth, waiting for him to continue.

"Will you be my Soccer coach?" Ardeth asked taking a deep breathe. "I am no longer allowed to take coaching under Coach Broughton, I am hopeful with the recent turn of events I would have a slightest chance to participate in the finals."

Ardeth looked at Mr.Scott in anticipation.

"No." Mr.Scott deadpanned, before he slipped into his car, and drove away.
