"Miss Lane I do not believe you fully understand what is going to happen to you." Principal Evans told her as he sat down behind his desk. "You are facing expulsion, I can only lesson the punishment if I know what is going on?" He told her. "Can you please tell me what happened between you and Mr. Morris?"
"I'm sorry but I can not." Isabelle Lane told him, as she calmly sat across from him.
"Isabelle Maria Lane." Her father scowled. "You will answer Principal Evans' question."
"I'm sorry but I can not. I believe the person you should be talking to sir is Mr. Morris. If he wishes to confess then that would be the smart move on his part but ultimately the choice is his alone." Isabelle told him.
"What are you talking about?" Principal Evans asked frowning.
"I'm sorry Sir but I have said too much." She told him. "If that is all am I free to go?" She asked him.
Principal looked at her a moment. "As I have not any trouble from you since this issue, I will let you go with three day suspension and a week of detention after that. "You are free to go and I do not wish to see you in this office again." He told her standing.
"Thank you Sir." Her Dad Ed Lane told him, shaking his hand. The principal nodded as they left the office. "Morris!" He shouted at the teenage boy sitting out his office. "In here now and shut the door, where are your parents?"
Isabelle Lane walked out of the office and knew her dad was following but the quiet seething feeling coming from behind her as she walked down the hall. Sadie Braddock walked over from hiding around the corner of the other hallway. "Hey Sadie." Isabelle greeted.
"Hello Uncle Eddie." Sadie greeted Isabelles' Dad.
"Hi Sadie. Sorry but if you don't mind Izzie and I need to head out." Ed told his honourary niece. Sadie Braddock parents had been on the same SRU Team as him when he was younger.
"O-of course." Sadie told him, heading down the hall. She looked over her shoulder back at Isabelle. Isabelle grinned and winked at her. Sadie grinned back inspite of everything.

Ed Lane got behind the wheel of his truck and slammed the door with more force then necessary. "Isabelle what the hell are you thinking?" He asked,
turning to face her in the passenger seat. "What happened with you and the other kid?"
"Nothing." Isabelle told him. "Nothing happened between me and him." She told him, looking out the window away from him.
Eddie looked at his daughter for a moment, before turning the key and headed home. It took him ten minutes before he was pulling into the driveway. His wife Sophie was working outside in the flower beds.
She stood up and met them on the driveway. She gave him a questioning look. "What are you two doing here so early?" She asked him as Ed kissed her cheek. "Isabelle do you not have a math test this afternoon?" She asked as there teenage daughter exited the car and headed into the house.
Ed and Sophie followed her into the house. "Not so fast young lady." Eddie said sternly, before she could escape upstairs. "You need to tell us something of why you are suspended for the next three days and possibly facing expulsion."
Sophie looked from Ed to her daughter surprised. "Suspended? Expulsion?" Sophie asked confused. "What is going on Izzie?"
Isabelle turned standing on the bottom step. "Dad do you trust me?" She asked him.
"Izz this is not the time." Ed Lane told her.
"Answer the question Dad." She told him, crossing her arms and stood there waiting.
"Okay. Most days yes I trust you." He told her.
"Then please can you trust me on this. I can't tell you what happen. You will just have to trust me." Isabelle told them. "Please?" She begged.
"Are you or anyone else in danger?" Sophie asked. "Is any of it illegal?"
"No and no." Isabelle answered.
"Okay we'll let this slide, unless there is anymore trouble at school because of it." Sophie told her. She put her hand on Eddies' shoulder to stop him from saying anything, as Isabelle ran up the stairs.
"She is suspended for three days and you are letting it slide?" Ed asked amazed.
"Ed, she has never been in trouble before and she makes good grades. You were a cop, but when it comes to your daughter it's like your instincts leave. Isabelle is just like you, when one of her friends or even a stranger is in trouble she'll want to help in what ever way she can."
Ed rubbed his hand on his head and stared at the ceiling for a few moments. "Why could she not be more like Clark and hide what trouble she got into."
He muttered. Soph chuckled at his comment.
