A/N: I'm a horrible author, I've taken WAY too long to update. That wasn't the end, chapter 12 was going to be nearing it but then a friend gave my inspiration for a plot twist so not for a little while. Sry if I confused you with who was speaking: it's don-terry, then don-james, don-amita and lastly don-charlie. I'll try to keep make it clearer in future chapters
Chapter 14
"I can't believe that we're doing this" Terry commented crossing the campus
"What? You don't think this woman deserves a little payback for what she did to Charlie?"
"Don-" Terry warned
"I know, I know" Don answered making a sharp turn after nearly missing the entrance to the building. He looked back to see if he lost Terry, who was right behind him giving that look that said 'why do I not believe you?' "Nothing is going to happen. We're going to go in there and just scare her a little. Make her think twice before she messes with other people's lives"
"I give up" Terry said. Don opened his mouth but then shut it as he realized that he had just passed the office door of Dr. Cindy Harris. Don looked at Terry with a little smirk (the same smirk Terry recognized from their years at the academy, it usually meant Don was up to mischief), then knocked on the door
"Come in" A woman's voice, which Don assumed to be Dr. Harris' answered
"Hello, I'm Special Agent Don Eppes and this is my partner Special Agent Terry Lake, we'd like to ask you some questions"
"Um of course" Dr. Harris answered, did he say Don Eppes?
"We are investigating an article in a math journal. A fellow agent pointed out an article that his nephew showed him. It has specific details about a case or two my team worked on and a few analogies that my brother, the consulting mathematician on the cases, used. The thing is its not his name on the article, its yours"
"I refuse to say anything about that. You should talk to your brother" Dr. Harris said slightly smug
"We did talk to him. He said you blackmailed him into giving you credit" Terry supplied with a slight edge in her voice. Don yearned to look at her. At first Terry seemed very reluctant to go with Don's whole plan, but now the smug look on Dr. Harris' face seemed to be getting her extremely aggravated. Maybe Charlie is really becoming one of us.
"I'll admit that yes, I have dirt on him and Amita. A teacher and student relationship-"
"-is frowned on" Terry finished
"Even if its not written in the rulebook, it's a very strict code of conduct that I've never seen anyone challenge and defeat. I'll go to the dean and tell him everything"
"Whose word do you really think they'll believe? A professor that has a tendency to get so involved with everything he forgets to eat and sleep, let alone have an affair with a student or the once smartest professor on campus, now outshined by the other professor in question, so insecure about her own popularity that she blackmailed someone into writing her an article, that is questioned about would be made a fool of?"
"Very smart but I have more than words, Special Agent Eppes" Dr. Harris stressed Don's name, almost mocking it. Dr. Harris stared Don down for a moment "Hmm, I getting the feeling you don't believe me, maybe I should play something for you" With that Dr. Harris pulled out one of her desk drawers and removed a tape player
A/N: Sorry it's so short, I kinda wanted to make it a cliff hanger and then I realized how short it is
