Elliot’s hands grew damp.

Uchenna bit her lip. “Like . . . what?”

Professor Fauna’s eyebrows crawled up his forehead like two hairy caterpillars.

“Oh,” Uchenna said. “Right. We’re sorry we got lost.”

Fauna eyed her, not moving from the narrow bus aisle.

“Yes,” Elliot added, “very sorry.”

Still, the professor did not move. His dark eyes roved over them suspiciously.

And then he stepped aside.

“Remember, children, secrets can be dangerous.”

Without missing a beat, Uchenna replied, “But danger is the greatest teacher.”

The professor frowned at her. His black eyes looked like pits. “Unless,” he said, “it kills you.”

As they walked away from the bus, Elliot leaned over to Uchenna. “He actually has a torture chamber under the school?”

From the side of her mouth, Uchenna muttered, “That’s what they say.”

“I believe it.”
