Chapter 8
Ian slammed the door to Headmaster's office, and it swung open. It broke off one of the hinges, and the lights flickered on. Headmaster must be in his bedroom, or something, but Ian refused to give up.
He flicked on the lights and looked around the office, seeing some broken glass still on the floor, and some things thrown off of Headmaster's desk. Ian went over to the desk and opened the first drawer. He saw a laptop, the ones that the students used, and wondered if it was Headmaster's laptop?
Ian saw the bigger laptop that was usually seen in Headmaster's office on his desk, so this obviously wasn't it, but what could it be used for, if not for functioning the school. Ian though of the possibility it was broken, but if it was broken, then he would have sent it to the Whisper Room for redesign.
Ian took it out of the drawer, and sat down in the chair, kicking his feet up on the desk. The chair vaguely resembled the one in Cornelius Tower's office. Ian set the laptop upon his lap, and opened it up. He clicked the 'Power' button, and instead of taking its usual half a minute to boot up, it flickered to life immediately. An application Ian had never seen before started up. Upon the screen, a small, narrow window appeared, and the familiar face of a middle-aged man appeared.
Headmaster's laptop was a setup, Ian thought. The camera had a green light on next to it, signaling Ian could see Headmaster, and Headmaster could see Ian. They were in a video chat.
