AMY JOTS NOTES in blue ink while Kane examines Principal Ruth Kinney on the stand. The two of them talk like longtime college buddies having a conversation while hanging out on the dock down by the lake.

Witnesses against Ms. Wesley:

* Parent of a child in class at school

* Union representative at school

* Principal at school

It’s like an inverted triangle, with the weight at the top and the bottom slicing a sharp dagger to the heart.

All she needs is a student to testify against her.

Amy is almost certain it will happen. These lawyers surely have their ways.

Kane has spent the last few moments asking Principal Kinney about her time at the school and how she stepped out of a successful corporate career to “give back” to the field she feels indebted to: education. And what better place to do it than high school? Kinney pontificates a bit on helping students be progressive and open-minded these days.

God is so old-school, so Old Testament.

Kane then asks her about Ms. Wesley.

“She has always been a fine example of Martin Luther King High School ideals,” Kinney says without hesitation.

“So was it surprising when you first learned about what happened?”

“Very.”

“How did you hear about the incident in question?”

“My office received a couple of calls from parents about what they had read online. Two parents of different students.”

“Were either of those parents the Thawleys?”

“No,” Kinney says, her jaw and expression solid as stone and impossible to chip away at.

The principal continues through the step-by-step of what happened.

“Were you surprised when Ms. Wesley refused to admit any wrongdoing?”

Up to this point, the principal has not said a single bad word about her star teacher. There’s no throwing a teacher under the bus. But now a rigid veil of disappointment lowers over Kinney’s face like a disappointed parent’s.

“Frankly, yes, Mr. Kane. I was quite shocked.”

“By what Ms. Wesley said?”

Principal Kinney looks over at Grace.
