AJ explained about the girl she ran into in the bathroom. She told us how the girl had given Williams head once for a better grade. And later, how he’d used a video he’d taken of her giving him head as blackmail to get her to do other things, threatening to post it on the internet and ruin her life.
“He took her somewhere. To a place that she said had a video camera set-up with a bed and nothing else. She didn’t know where it was because he would blindfold her to take her there. He…”
She choked before continuing. “Fuck,” she said, lifting her hand to bite her knuckles to stop whatever she was going to say next. “He’s a fucking pedo. What were your rules about that?”
This question she posed to Corvus. “Hmm?” she prodded. “They don’t get strikes. They go straight to the grave, right?”
A muscle in Corvus’ jaw ticked. Rook was already glaring down the hall like he could will Williams to leave the classroom right this minute so he could shoot him in the kneecaps.
Corvus’ brow pinched. “Not without proof.”
“What that girl said isn’t good enough?”
He shook his head. “No. If we relied on the word of fourteen-year-old freshmen there would be a lot more unmarked graves in Thorn Valley… filled with some very undeserving corpses.”
Ava Jade’s eye twitched.
“But,” Corvus continued. “We will look into this.”
“Fine,” Ava Jade said. “We look into it now. Right fucking now.”
Rook was already nodding. “Grey, get the address. The fucker will be busy with classes for the next few hours. We’ll scout his place while he’s busy here. If he was taking videos, we’ll find them.”
“And if he was?” Ava Jade prompted.
“Strike three,” Rook confirmed, his nostrils flaring.
AJ nodded gravely. “I want to help.”
Rook’s lips parted, the creases in his forehead smoothing as he searched her eyes, then nodded.
I set to work logging into the staff side of the academy’s online portal from my phone.
“Should we bring Becca? I don’t want to leave her here.”
“I’ll call Tiny. He’ll come and stay with her until we come back. Good?”
“Yeah. I’ll text her to let her know.”
“She’s not going to like that,” Rook said.
“She’d like coming with us a lot less.”
AJ had a point. Becca was stronger than I’d ever given her credit for, but normal people had limits, and what we would do if we found out the girl was telling the truth would go far beyond Becca’s. Besides, Tiny was basically a giant cuddly bear with a gun. He’d probably braid her hair and order her a fucking chocolate cake.
“Got the address,” I announced.
“Let’s go.”
Behind us, the bell rang as we made our way down to the Rover, alert for any signs of attack.
Diesel would kill us if he knew we were going on a little side-quest for our humanitarian project right now, but Ava Jade wasn’t wrong. If Williams was what that girl claimed, he had no place in Thorn Valley. Letting him get away with doing what he was accused of even one more time would be one time too many.
Plus, if he’d done it once, we knew from experience it was very fucking likely he’d done it before. Layla might not be the only one.

Williams’place was a pedo’s wet dream.
