Simon walks Deena home then gets home himself. The next day Simon gets to
school early to talk to Mr. Micheals, Deena didn't make it that early but
Simon did see her later that day.
"Mr. Micheals?"
"Yes, hello Simon."
"Hi, I got a problem with the project, I can't find my partner, Janine."
"Oh yes, she hasn't been in class since Wednesday."
"Ya. My girlfriend went to her house Sunday to see if she can see Janine but was unable to see her or her parents. There were also FBI agents there and they told her that Janine or her parents cannot be seen."
"What? That is odd."
"I'm thinking of going by there today and see what happens and maybe I'll show them the syllabus and tell them that this project I must do with her because it is important for my grade."
"How about I meet you at her house about 4:00pm today and we'll see what is going on, okay?"
"Okay." Simon says as he leaves when the bell rings.
"Deena!!" Simon calls to her.
"Hi, Simon. Sorry I couldn't make it this early. My dad asked my why I wanted to see my teacher and I told him because needed help on some history and he told me that I can wait until after school."
"Don't worry about it okay, Mr. Micheals said that he and I will meet at Janine's and hopefully figure this out."
"Okay Simon but don't get angry or show agitation. If they get agitated then back off and let Mr. Micheals talk to them, actually I think it's better if you let him handle it. We are just kids and--"
"none listens to kids." Simon said as Deena was saying it.
Later that day Simon meets with Mr. Micheals to see if Janine is going to school.
"Simon, I did some checking and it appears that she will not be going to school any longer. She will be home schooled and that is all I know. Now let me do all the talking, okay."
"Okay."
Mr. Micheals gets out if his car, walks up to the property with Simon behind him.
"Can I help you, sir?" A man named Larry approached Mr. Micheals and Simon.
"I am looking for a student of mine named Janine. She has not been in class the last few days and the office has said that she has begun home schooling."
"Home schooling?" Simon says.
"Yes Simon, home schooling. I have pared Janine with this young man to do a project of the last 10 years which is 20% of the whole grade."
"20% of the whole grade? Wow." Larry said in surprise.
"Yes, it usually helps students who are doing bad on assignments and tests."
"I'm afraid that she will not be able to help him, she and her parents cannot be seen by anyone."
"Okay, thank you very much." Mr. Micheals said as he turned to walk to the car.
"Is there a problem here?" a police officer approaches Mr. Micheals and Simon as they turn towards the street.
"No officer, there is no problem. Just a little clarification of this gentleman's student, Janine." Larry says.
"What was the clarification, sir?"
"I had pared this student with Janine to do a project that is 20% of the whole grade and I just wanted to know if Janine will go to school or if Simon will have to do the project himself."
"What? The ten years of this century? That's too much work."
"Don't worry Simon, I will have a few students do a year more then they should."
"Thanks."
"You will do the Reagan-Bush years."
"Will that be all officer?"
"Yes, that will be all. Have a nice day."
"Thank you, you too."
Mr. Micheals gets in his car then drives off. Simon gets on his bike when Sgt. Micheals sees him riding his bike then follows him home. Simon then gets in the door when Sgt. Micheals calls to him. Sgt. Micheals walks in when another officer approaches who was at Janine's house. Eric and Annie come down when Simon, Sgt. Micheals and another officer walks in.
"Simon are you alright?" Annie asks.
"I'm fine."
"Sgt. Micheals, did Simon do anything wrong?" Eric asks. Matt, Mary and Lucy are on the top of the stairs listening.
"Mr. Micheals?"
"Yes, hello Simon."
"Hi, I got a problem with the project, I can't find my partner, Janine."
"Oh yes, she hasn't been in class since Wednesday."
