Mr. Best paced back and forth in his office, his eyes sharp and focused. Jared, Elena, Luke, and Rachel sat around the desk, feeling the pressure of the moment. They had just lost access to their live surveillance of Mr. Thompson’s actions, and the urgency was more apparent than ever.
Mr. Best stopped suddenly and looked at them, his face stern but determined. “Thompson might be the principal, but this is my school. I won’t let him drag our name through the mud. We’re going to fix this.”
Jared nodded, his voice tense. “We need to act fast. Thompson’s not just going to stop because we know what he’s up to.”
Elena agreed, her eyes sparkling with a mix of fear and resolve. “But how do we stop him without tipping him off? He’s sly. He’ll know something’s wrong if we’re not careful.”
Mr. Be
