"What a nice way to wake up." Robert said as Jane rolled away from him.
"I really need to get to the hospital and deal with my "problem children" Jane signed as she swung her feet to the floor. Robert ran his finger down her spine. He was amazed that just 24 hours ago he would have given just about anything to be in this situation with Lizzie, but now he was having a hard time remembering why he wanted Lizzie in the first place. Jane shivered at Robert's touch. She leaned back into bed.
"Let them sweat it out for a little while longer" she said surrounding to Robert's caresses
As predicted none of the parents of the four girls in the hospital inquired about them. The dorm mother kept a very close watch on them. They had to spend the night in separate hospital rooms. Each one of them dreading Ms. Ivy's wrath more than anything their parents would do. These four girls had been in and out of every private school in the Midwest and a few on the East Coast. Their parents were diplomats, entertainers, minor royalty and one was the illegitimate child of a senator. They got into trouble because trouble got you noticed. You got attention when you caused trouble. Ms. Ivy had been different, they all agreed she saw right through most of their bull. She could devise punishments other head master wouldn't even try. Ms. Ivy knew their parent's didn't give a damn, as long as they didn't have to deal with their trouble making children, the tuition would be paid. Ms. Ivy was not cruel, but she knew these kinds of kids and their parents very well.
Robert arrived at the hospital and asked where the fire victims had been put for the night. An intern led him to the rooms. He saw each girl and pronounced them well enough to go back to school. Jane walked in, as he was finishing up.
"Let's get back to school girls. The holiday is almost over and you have a lot of repairs to make to the dorm." Her tone of voice made it sound like she was rewarding them instead of punishing them. Robert couldn't help but notice how afraid the girls seemed.
"I am not going to clean up that mess, just call my father, he will pay for someone to do it." Snarled one of the girls. Jane stood face to face with her student.
"You little witch, I haven't even called your parents. Do you really think they want to be bothered with you? Lakeshore is the point of no return for the four of you. What do you think your parents would do with you if you are kicked out? There isn't another school that will take you in this country, not with your records."
The troublemaker shrank back from Jane like she had been burned.
"Now you are going back to the dorms and you are going to start the clean up today,"
Robert stood and stared at Jane, just hours before she had been sweet and soft in his arms, he could still smell her skin. Now she was hard as nails and he was oddly aroused.
"Look, girls, I know about how the fire started. I have your blood test results. You are lucky that we can keep this out of your records. Especially you, Annie, with your past drug problems" Jane's voice softened " I want you to be able to resolve this situation on your own. If I call your parents, you all know what will really happen. Nothing. You have no control over how your parents treat you, but you do have control over how you react to them. I will give you the choice, If you don't go back to the dorm and help with the clean up, I will have you expelled and you will no longer be my problem or you can help and I will not report this to your parents and keep it our of your records."
"If we agree and help with the clean up, you let us stay and no punishment?" one of the girls asked unbelieving
"No punishment, but you will be indebted to me and I will ask for a favor from time to time"
Jane told them.
"Like the Godfather" Annie laughed. Jane could not help but get tickled. Robert hid a smile. These girls were a piece of work.
"I like your office" Jane told Robert as she looked at his lab coat. "Why is "Rocket" embroidered on your coat with your name?"
"It's a nickname," He said
"How did you get that nickname?"She asked
"After last night I thought you would know" He replied. She actually blushed. "That's interesting, I really didn't think I could make you blush."
"It takes a lot. Rocket" she said with amusement "I have a nickname"
"Really, what?"
"I'll never tell, I got it in boarding school, it's not very flattering, really."
"You really were good with those girls, why didn't you just expel them, they wouldn't be your problem anymore."
"It is not in my best interest to lose the contacts those girls parents represent to the school and my position there"
"I know which position I like the best" he leered and leaned in to kiss her. They began to embrace passionately. Robert closed his office door with his foot and pressed Jane against the door.
"Do you encourage this in the workplace, Rocket" she purred to him
He didn't have time to answer, because of a knock on the door.
"Robert, let me in, some thing is blocking the door, Robert!" It was the insistent voice of Dr.Corday.
Jane stepped aside so Robert could open the door.
As Elizabeth walked in she saw Jane first.
"Oh my God, Ivy?" Elizabeth said in disbelief
"Lizzie Corday" Jane said and looked like she was seeing a ghost
"Since no introductions are necessary, I have and idea" Robert said as he closed the door.
