Chapter 166

July 14, 2016/ Drew Hayes The room was silent as Alice finished recounting what she, Nick, and Mary had borne witness to. Mary sat to her left, filling in the occasional detail, while Nick was on her right. Normally he handled the covert communication himself, but this time… well, there was too much at stake, too many details they had to make sure were recalled precisely correct. Because if one was going to accuse an HCP professor of murder, it was important to have all the evidence prepared perfectly.

“Somehow, in my truest of hearts, I always suspected that Shelby’s misfortune was at the core of things, even if I didn’t have proof.” Dean Blaine was staring at the table, wavering somewhere between the urge to vomit and unmitigated fury. “And Charles has always been… determined, I suppose is what we called it back then. Just like his brother. Only where Phil’s refusal to budge was born of the desire to protect everyone he cared for, Charles’s came with a more ruthless, pragmatic edge. But to think Blake would be party to such crimes-”

“That part, I would have guessed.” Professor Pendleton leaned back in his chair, looking for all the world like he hadn’t just heard about his half-brother helping to murder Intra. But Alice knew him better; she could see the small twinges of grief and anger lingering at the edges of his expression. “I loved Shelby, and Blake too for that matter, but they were twins. The bond between them was deeper than anything I could have matched. When Shelby got sick, Blake took it as hard as Charles. He was there all the time, caring for her, doing what he could to make things better. And then when the procedure went wrong… well, to be honest with you I lived on his couch for a few weeks. I told him it was because we needed each other as family during a tough time, though the truth was I thought he might try to kill himself with no one around.”

“Instead, he conspired to kill Intra.” Of all the teachers, Professor Stone seemed to be taking the news better than anyone else. Then again, as a telepath she was probably more accustomed to finding out dirty secrets than the rest of the staff.

Those three were the only ones in attendance today. Mr. Numbers and Mr. Transport, dedicated though they had proven themselves, were still outsiders of the Hero world. Until Dean Blaine gave permission, it hadn’t seemed right to bring them in on something like this. Especially given Charles’s comments about bribing people in a certain company.

“This is a lot to take in,” Dean Blaine said. “Sadly, I fear we lack the time for a proper period of mourning and adjustment. If what you’re saying is true, then we have the very proof we need sitting in the HCP right now.”

“But the minute you make a request to withdraw it, someone out there is going to tip off Charles.
