A/N: Thanks everyone for you reviews! I'm glad you like it so much. I'd really like to mention all of your names here, but then it would be a really long A/N. Don't think that I don't appreciate it though! I hope you all like this chapter just as much. It's not as focused on Jack as the previous one, but some things had to be explained and the situation had to be clear for the next couple of chapters. Btw: Does anyone know how I can make paragraphs? The site deletes my spaces between paragraphs every time I upload the document from Word to the site itself.

HaloFin17: Don't worry.. It's a gigantic compliment for me that you thought it was a one-shot. A good chapter should stand on it's own and not on the story, and your response showed it did!

SparkFiction: Glad you like the story, but I said I needed to know if people read it. I didn't say I'd update as soon as I had those reviews. I write per chapter, and post it immediately after writing. And I simply do not have the time to update twice or even three times a week. Today is a Monday, and I posted the first part on Tuesday. That means it's not even a week ago. So please, take a chill pill and try to understand where I'm coming from! I'll try and update every week.


"Jackie, try to behave yourself today, okay?" Evelyn told her son, while putting her hand on his shoulder.

They were standing in front of Jack's high school, at 8.30 AM on a Saturday. Even though Bobby came through with faking Evelyn's autograph, Jack still had 4 weeks of detention. And on his school, detention didn't mean an hour everyday after school. It meant each day until 6 PM, only Sundays were free. So here they were, ready for his first day of detention.

"Yeah Ma, I will. 4 weeks is long enough for me." Jack reassured his mom.

"Oh, and before I forget, Bobby will come and get you when you're done. I have a case I need to check up on." Evelyn said, while Jack was getting out of the car.

Jack just nodded and walked towards the school-doors. He had gotten detention a number of times, but he still wasn't used to the serene, almost eerie quietness that surrounded the school on Saturday. He shivered. Today it seemed even worse than normal.

Opening the door, Jack saw that the lights in the auditorium were on. That was unusual. Jack walked into the auditorium, wondering what was going on.

"Ah, mister Mercer I believe?" A man in the front asked.

"Yeah, it is. Who wants to know?" Jack responded.

He didn't know the guy, but still he felt a sense of recognizing him from somewhere.

"I'm mister Lesters, and I'll be in charge of detention today. I'll be in charge every day from now on, as a matter of fact." The man answered Jack, authority pouring through his veins.

"Why the fuck would someone take on detention. That guy just ain't right in the head." Jack muttered.

"Might be so, but there isn't anything wrong with my hearing however. I suggest you tone it down, mister Mercer. Otherwise I won't have a choice but to give you an extra week of detention. And please take your seat." Mister Lesters ordered.

Jack did sit down, and looked around. There were 5 other people in the auditorium, and two of them were girls. No matter what Bobby said, Jack was indeed interested in girls, and he figured that he would spent his time in detention observing said girls. The other 3 guys Jack had expected to be there. They were your average thugs, who basically had detention every week.

"Now you are all here, we can start. You will notice a couple of things going differently than normal. We will follow a program here today, and every day. I will explain this to you later on. But first the rules. There will be no talking, no sleeping, no eating unless I say you can. Also there will be no street-slang, foul language or violence. I have no interest that we're in Detroit, and people act like that. In here we're going to behave ourselves like the normal human beings I intend to make out of each and every one of you.

Now for the program. On Saturdays we'll start the day off by watching a film. This film is not supposed to be for your entertainment, and will therefore not be entertaining. It is however a learning moment for each one of you. It will show you how to behave. Then at noon, we will pause for exactly one hour. In this time you can enjoy the lunch in the cafeteria. You cannot however leave the building. After that hour, you will all stay here and do schoolwork. I will go to the office down the hall, and see you one by one. In this time in my office, we will talk about your life, your intentions and the reasons for your behavior.

On weekdays, the afternoon program will be continued. You will make your homework, and I will see you in my office. Are there any questions?"

"Yeah, when did I sign up for fucking counseling?" Jake Dunn, one of the other guys, asked.

"2 mistakes in one sentence, mister Dunn. A) you did not sign up for counseling, and our one-on-one time will not be used for such a purpose. B) 30 seconds after explaining the rules, you already broke one of them. Therefore you will receive an extra week of detention. Any other, valid, questions?" Mister Lesters said calmly

"How about going out for a smoke? Can we do that?" Jack asked, thinking every word over before saying it. He had been talking in slang since he was 6, it was hard to talk in plain English.

"No, mister Mercer, there will no time available for that. Smoking is a sign of weakness, an addiction even. I am planning on eliminating all weaknesses here. Therefore smoking is not allowed." Mister Lesters answered

For a second, Jack thought he saw a spark of anger in Mister Lesters his eyes. But then it was gone.

"And bathroom breaks?" One of the girls asked. Jack didn't know her name.

"Raise your hand if you want to ask something, Miss Bell. The same goes for bathroom breaks. You raise your hand, and ask for permission to go to the bathroom. You will then be escorted to the bathroom." Mister Lester said.

Miss Bell shook her head, not believing what she had just heard.

"You mean that I'm not allowed to go to the bathroom on my own? I have been doing that since I was 4 years old…" She asked.

"I don't care what your parents let you do when you were 4, 10 or 16. You are under my supervision now, and you will listen to my rules." Mister Lesters raised his eyebrows, as to dare her to disagree with him.

Jack had to agree with her, however. This was ridiculous. They were treated like kids, very dumb kids even.

"No further questions? Okay, then we will now proceed to the first part of our program. You are going to watch this movie and pay attention to it. Anyone who does not do so, will receive an extra week of detention. Understood?"

They all just nodded their heads. Who knew what would happen if you opened your mouth and said something. Something here wasn't right, Jack could feel it. This guy wasn't just a regular teacher. There was something about him.

At that moment, the lights went off and the video started. Jack focused on the screen in front of him, thinking of the promise he made to his mother. He would try and follow these rules, how stupid they might be.
