Let's Keep This to Ourselves…

"Mrs. Sims I need to have a word with you," Kelly spoke to the Home Ec. teacher after the police left. "You too Dorothy."

His secretary came in and closed the door. "Look I am going to talk with the other teachers later but McCoy is back."

"Oh Mr. McCoy is back how lovely!" Mrs. Sims clapped her hands. "I can make some lovely lemon tarts celebrating his return."

"No Mrs. Sims he's not back teaching!" Kelly groaned. "He's been prowling around the grounds again! He tried to get back into the lab last night!"

"Didn't he have his key?" Mrs. Sims looked confused.

"Of course he didn't have his key!" Kelly shouted.

"He lost his key? Maybe you should make him a new one?" Mrs. Sims asked.

Dorothy and Kelly looked at each other. "Mrs. Sims have you been inhaling candle fumes again?" Dorothy asked.

"Mr. McCoy is the nut who turned into a blue monster that attacked me a few months ago!" Kelly reminded her.

"Oh," Mrs. Sims said. "So not a member of the staff then?"

"No," They both said.

"Look I don't want this news passed around the school!" Kelly said. "The last thing we need is to cause a panic!"

Little did Kelly know that everyone in the entire building was listening in on their conversation thanks to the intercom. "I don't want the students to worry about McCoy coming back and terrorizing the building. The last thing we need around here is another round of hysteria. Remember the monsters at the dance? The school barely recovered from that fiasco! I was lucky not to be lynched by the PTA! So not a word to anyone about him coming back on the grounds of the school at night okay?"

"You're right," Mrs. Sims said. "The last thing the kids need is another thing to get worked up over. Who knows where it might lead?"

"Exactly! So no more talk of blue monsters! Okay?" Kelly said.

Nearly the entire student population of Bayville gulped at that moment. "What was that?" Kelly said. "I thought I heard…HAS THIS THING BEEN ON THE WHOLE TIME! HOW DO YOU TURN THIS THING OFF?" The intercom shut off. Then it went on. "Oh Hello students, that was an excerpt from a play we were reading. Yeah that sounds good. Just a play. So just ignore what we just said and go back to what you were doing."

"Oh and you might not want to hang around school after hours," Mrs. Sim's voice came on. "Just in case the monster comes back."

"DON'T TELL THEM THAT! FOR CRYING OUT…" Kelly shut off the intercom.

"Oh goody," Kitty grumbled. "Bayville High has just become a whole lot more interesting today."
