"What is it Knots?" Jack asked as Knots slowly lowered the telegram.

Knots looked at Jack with a shocked expression on her face.

"Mr….Mr…Markson." she stammered. "he's…dead."

Jack was now utterly confused. "you mean the headmaster asshole?"

Knots nodded slowly.

"Well I'm sorry bout that Knots…but its not like we exactly cared for the jerk is it?"

Knots started shaking her head furiously.

"But um…Jack….he…he…in his will…he left my mom the school….but…she…uh…cant…take it….something about being in jail…."

"so who gets the school now?" Jack asked trying to sort things out. It would've been a lot easier if he could've just read the letter instead of having to play a guessing game.

"Jack…I…we….get the school…"

Jack jaw dropped. He stood up and started pacing the room. He was rubbing his forehead furiously.

"oh my god…" suddenly he stopped pacing and looked at Knots. A smile crept on his face. "Knots! We're rich!"

Knots stood up quickly. "Hold on Jack…there's a catch."

Jack groaned. "A catch…there's always a catch!"

"The only way we can keep the school is being running it ourselves."

"Meaning?"

Knots took a deep breath. "Meaning… we have to move to Santa Fe."

Jack's jaw dropped again. He then sighed deep and sat back down on the couch next to Knots. He started to fiddle with his hands and then turned and looked at Knots who had a worried expression on her face.

"Well…we probably have a long time to think about this right?"

Knots bit her lip. "Three weeks." She said softly.

Jack clapped his hands to his face and groaned.

Knots tenderly put her hand on his back. "C'mon Jack. Lets…lets just think this through alright. We've got three weeks to decide."

Jack slowly pulled down his hands from his face. He cracked a small smile.

"You're right. No hurry." He said leaning in and kissing her sweetly.

Knots stood up and went over to a desk in the corner. She pulled out a piece of paper and a pen. "Lets make a pro/con list." She said sitting back down.

"Alright." Jack said sitting up straight. Then a thought came to him. "Hey Knots…lets not tell the others."

Knots was surprised by this. "What? Why not?"

"Well…just not until we've made up our minds. I mean… we should make this decision just the two of us don't you think?"

Knots wasn't exactly thrilled about this idea but Jack did have a point.

"ok." She said softly. She then turned back to the paper and began writing things down.
