into the back of one of the police cars . Haley . Agent Bronson hung up from his phone call and looked at me with a serious face.
“Fiona, appears as though a young lady named—”
“Haley Frost . I see her —she’ s my cousin.”
“Well, I don’t know how to tell you this, but it appears as though she broke into your laboratory.”
5 SUSPENSION
I was living one of the worst days of my life. My mind spun in circles, searching for an exit to this nightmare. I reluctantly ambled over to the crowd of police officers, Principal Dinges, and students who were watching the scene.
T he superintende nt of the school district , a middle-aged mousy-haired man with a huge belly, decided after a quick deliberation to shut down my program until further notice . He held his pudgy hand out for my keys, telling me they would have to file a report of the incident to my granting agency, the International Science Foundation . A wave of nausea hit me like lightning as he went on that I was not to undergo any further involvement with my lab or the police department until I heard differently, as he was deeply concerned about the security of my lab having actual case evidence and with Haley being related to me —he felt it was best to ter minate the program until he could investigate thoroughly.
Forensic science was my life . I had poured my soul into the grant and the development of my training program . M y juvenile delinquent cousin — who was supposed to have been away in New Zealand — had jeopardized everything.
I couldn’t help but mope during my morning classes . I pitied myself as I trudged off to c alculus with a grim expression taking over my face. I met another blow as Wolfe, who had always sat across the aisle from me, had moved seats to the front of the class . I couldn’t help but take this personal. When the bell rang to end class , he didn’t wait for me in the hallway. A few steps down the corridor , I spotted him standing next to Camber Johnson . I wanted to break down , cry, and give up on my sanity.
The custodian passed with a lock fixture in his hand, tool kit in the other . I sulked past my laboratory door; a shiny new lock was already installed on the door, the lights were off inside. I wondered why the superintendent wanted my keys if they were to change the lock . Was he a fraid I would rush to my lab in that short of time? To do what? Was I being looked at as a criminal because Haley was my cousin ? It was my lab so why was I not trusted ? Changing the lock seemed overly cautious—a dramatic kneejerk reaction.
As I opened my locker , I heard a group of girls gossiping about how Camber had a big crush on Wolfe. I pretended not to hear them as I pulled my backpack out, throwing my math book onto the shelf. One good thing came of it—at least they weren’t talking about me this time.
My face was in a fierce pout as I staggered to the cafeteria to meet with Maddie . I couldn’t help it. I decided to blab everything. S he was my best friend and likely knew it all , nonetheless . We walked over to the cafeteria line, remaining a few steps back out of earshot from the people in front of us.
“I’ve already heard, Fiona, everyone’s talking about it. If I see Haley anytime soon, I can’t guarantee I’ll be able to hold back,” she sneered.
My face hardened as I hesitated for a short second.
“Yea h , we can’t go anywhere near the lab until they hear back from the grant administrators. They said we have sensitive data in there . They thought the lab was secure, but since Haley showed it wasn’t, we have to pay the price now.”
Intense curiosity invaded her eyes.
“How ’d she break in, Fiona?”
I shrugged, sulking as I p ut a carton of milk on my tray.
“I can only guess she stole my spare key from my writing desk ,” my voice cracked. I swallowed and continued, “ Actually, there is no way to break in, I don’t think. They called it a break in because she wasn’t authorized to
