Chapter 133
"Are you ready?"
"Almost. I just need to finish feeding Beth. She's almost done."
"TJ finished already. He's changed and is in his playpen."
"Thanks." Smile Elizabeth.
"I received a text stating that a driver will be waiting on us in the lobby in fifteen minutes."
"I'll be ready."
Elizabeth exhaled a quiet breath. She was nervous.
"What's wrong?" Jack asked.
Elizabeth sighed. "I'm a little nervous. This is your world, Jack. It's not mine."
Jack walked over to the bed and sat down beside his wife. He rubbed her thigh since her hands were full.
"You will do great. You are a great teacher. They asked us to come and teach them. This is your world, Elizabeth."
"No, my world is in front of a classroom with fifth graders. These are young men and women who are studying for the FBI."
"The same FBI who asked you to come and teach them. They want to know what you know. It's the same thing. You are a smart woman. You will do this with greatness like you do everything else."
She smiled at her husband. He was always a great supporter of her. "It just feels different."
"You are a Thorton. You can do anything."
She smiled at his sassiness.
"We do this together. Remember, the whole time I will be with you. We are teaching this together."
"Thank you."
"Me and you."
"Me and you."
…
After stepping into the lobby of the FBI headquarters, a smiling young lady stepped toward them. "Good morning, Mrs. Thorton and Chief Thorton. Thank you for joining us the next few days. The cadets are looking forward to hearing from you."
"That's very kind of you." Smile Elizabeth.
"Please follow me. Do you have any material that needs to be copied to hand out or a PowerPoint presentation?"
"We actually have both." Elizabeth stated.
"Great. Let me have the papers and I will make the copies. Do you have the PowerPoint on a thumb drive?"
"Yes."
"I will make sure the tech guy has it ready. There is a clicker in the classroom that you can use. It's pretty simple."
"Thank you." Elizabeth and Jack stated.
The young woman escorted them to room 206. "This is your classroom for the next two days. Here is your schedule. Water is at the podium for you two. If you need anything, please see me."
"Thank you so much." Elizabeth stated and shook her hand. Jack did the same thing.
"Are you ready?"
Elizabeth sighed. While Jack's words were comforting earlier, now she was nervous again. Jack sensed her uneasiness.
"You are the greatest teacher I know. You know the material you want to cover. They are here because they would like to learn from you. Remember that. Plus…"
"Plus?" She looked into his eyes and instantly calmed.
"I'm right beside you." He squeezed her hand.
"Me and you."
"Me and you." He kissed her cheek. "Let's go. We've got this!"
…
"Jack said that they should be done around four or so. They will text us and let us know for sure."
"Great. Is there anything you want to do today with the little ones?" Adam mentioned as he picked up Beth. She reached for him as he picked her up. "Yup, you are a grandpa's girl." He stated proudly. Then he looked at TJ who was reaching for him. "And you are a grandpa's boy." Adam laughed after he positioned both babies in his arms when he saw Charlette's facial expression.
"What's that look for?"
"They are grandma's babies."
"You hold them all the time, they enjoy when grandpa holds them." He stated as he bounced the two babies. TJ reached and took Beth's hand. Charlette couldn't help but smile at the scene in front of her. Her husband and grandbabies enjoying each other's company.
"Not really, I would be up for anything. Maybe we could do some shopping or something?"
"Then we can grab lunch somewhere and be back by the time Jack and Elizabeth come back to the room."
"Perfect. Now, let's get these two precious little ones changed and dressed for the day."
…
After getting everything they needed organized, Jack and Elizabeth sat on a couple of chairs that were beside the desk. He opened his hand on his lap and she immediately intertwined her fingers with his.
"Are you still nervous?" He asked.
"A little bit but you help me overcome it."
"Well, if I'm honest, I'm nervous too."
"Really? You sounded so confident earlier in the hotel room."
"Well, first, you needed me to be confident. I am a little more confident when I'm not standing in front of so many people, but now standing in the classroom, I'm getting a little nervous. This is your domain, not mine."
"I guess so." After a few moments, she let out a soft giggle.
"What's that for?" Jack asked.
"It's just funny. When I need you to be strong, you are no matter if you are or not."
"And when I need you to be strong, you are no matter if you are or not."
"We support each other very well and I am very thankful for that."
"Me too." Jack smiled. "Almost as if we were destined for each other."
"Well, your father did pray for us to meet when we were little."
"I guess we didn't have a choice did we?"
"Anything you would change?" She challenged him with a smile.
"The only thing I would change would be that we would have met and got married years ago. That way I would have more time with you."
"Such a romantic." She teased him as she leaned over and kissed him on the cheek.
When she pulled back, the door opened. There were about twenty five men and women walked into the class and took their seats. Immediately following the group, an older man stepped in and walked toward them.
"Chief Thorton and Mrs. Thorton. My name is Special Agent Frank Gibbs. We are excited you are here with us for the next two days."
"Good morning, Special Agent Gibbs." Jack stated and stepped toward the gentleman with an extended hand. Elizabeth immediately followed him doing the same thing.
"I'll introduce you to the group in about five minutes. There are some other instructors who would like to join the group."
"Ok." Stated a hesitant Elizabeth.
"The things you two have done has caught a lot of attention here. Everyone is eager to hear how you did it."
"Oh." A shy Elizabeth stated. "I didn't do too much."
"I would say you did quite a bit. While you two are not FBI, when you are in front of the classroom instructing, you are in charge."
"Thank you." Both Jack and Elizabeth stated.
…
"I can't imagine changing these two when they get a little older." Charlette let out a deep breath.
TJ and Beth were starting to move a lot more during their diaper changes. They couldn't move too much, but they were getting handsy and grabbing everything. Plus, those little buggers were getting stronger with their grip.
"Just wait until they are mobile. It's almost impossible to change them at the same time. While you're working on one, the other is crawling away. It's easier to keep fifteen plates spinning in the air than changing two active babies at the same time. What should be a couple of minutes usually turned in ten or fifteen minutes." Adam laughed at all the memories of trying to change his set of twins.
"I can't even imagine." Charlette stating shaking her head.
"Alright grandma, I'll get the stroller and the backpacks ready."
"Don't you dare leave me yet. We're not finished here." She warned Adam.
"We better make sure the babies love us or they are going to make it hard on us." Adam laughed.
"They already love us, especially you. Their face always lights up when they hear your voice."
Adam couldn't hide the pride in his face even if he wanted to. "I love them."
…
Special Agent Gibbs stood and received everyone's immediate attention. After the cadets sat down in their chairs, there were ten older individuals who joined the classroom and sat along the back wall. They were instructors from other departments who wanted to listen in on the lecture. As Jack began his prepared remarks on the first slide, Elizabeth stood off to the side watching her husband. He had an aura of confidence about him as he stood there beginning with the very moment he met Miranda. She also heard the confidence in this tone of voice. Jack wasn't much older than the cadets, seven or eight years. He was certainly younger than all of the superior officers in the room. He spoke from confidence. He had that confidence because he knew the material. That reminded her or her little secret to teaching. She was secure in her teaching ability because she knew the material. She smiled thinking that Jack was helping her overcome her anxiety of being in the classroom without him knowing he was helping.
Elizabeth was so consumed watching her husband, she didn't notice one of the cadets paying special attention to her. Zach leaned forward and whispered to his classmate that was in front of him. "Wow! That woman is beautiful."
His classmate slightly turned his head and whispered. "You better pay attention!"
"I am."
"To Chief Thorton, not that lady."
"I rather watch the lady." Zach stated until Special Agent Gibbs touched his shoulder. A word wasn't spoken, but the act was enough to have Zach sit up in his chair and close his mouth.
Jack expounded on the first meeting and his feelings from seeing Miranda for the first time. He shared about her confidence and how easily she moved in the barn. She knew a lot about him and not to leave prints or any other evidence behind. Jack shared pictures from the barn. Once he was finished with that encounter, he opened the floor up for questions. It was his intention to cover one portion of the story and then allow the people to ask questions for clarity. He learned this from Elizabeth. She was the one who told him to cut the sections up. It would be easier for the whole group to grasp everything in small sections instead of several large bites.
Elizabeth was set to begin the next section following the Q&A section with the time Miranda visited the swearing in ceremony at the police department. This was when her interaction with the case began.
"Chief Thorton, if the students do not have any more questions, I have one." An instructor sitting in the back of the room asked.
"Yes sir."
"You stated after Miranda left and you knew you were alone, that you made notes of the encounter."
"Yes sir. I did."
"I'm looking at a copy of your notes. It's two full pages of very short sentences, but they describe everything. You have what she was wearing, her hair style and color, her eye color, her limp, the time of day, you even wrote down the color of the tractor and that the back left tire was covered with mud on the side. You even have the weather. I teach taking notes of the crime scene, but chief, these are very detailed. On the bottom of page two, you even have all your thoughts. Those continue over to page three. Why so detailed?"
"I didn't know what was important. I just met this woman. She sat everything up very methodically. She knew a lot about me and gave very little away about her. I knew within seconds that she was a woman who shouldn't be taken lightly. I wanted to remember every little thing from that day. One little piece of evidence could have been important. I didn't want to miss anything."
The instructor was smiling at Jack's answer. This is what he instructs during his class. He was grateful to have a real world example to use to enforce his lesson.
"Chief, was there something from this list that proved to be a key piece of evidence that helped you later on in the investagation?"
"Nothing major, but the back tire that had mud on it was helpful later on."
"How so?" Another instructor asked.
"It didn't mean anything until after my wife, Mrs. Thorton, mentioned that she wasn't a typical criminal." Elizabeth smiled at him as he looked in her direction. "After she said that, I was looking over my notes again just to see if something popped out. The muddy back tired stood out like a sore thumb following Mrs. Thorton's statement. Miranda was a very observant woman. She knew what she was doing. Mrs. Thorton will get into her portion soon. She touched ever tire on the traitor except for that one. Why? Why would she do that" If she would have touched that one, she could have left fingerprints in the mud. I knew my wife was absolutely correct. This woman was very intelligent. She also looked ahead and sat everything up in her favor. She was meticulous, nothing was left to chance. Both of those pieces of information helped us form a way to catch her."
"So, it wasn't one thing that led you to her?"
Jack smiled catching on what the instructor was doing. "No sir. Most often it's the little things that lead us to the criminal. What if I didn't write that piece of information down? I seriously doubt I would have remembered that one back tire was muddy, and she didn't touch it."
The instructor, along with several of his colleagues, nodded their head in approval.
"Thank you Chief Thorton. Let's take a ten minute break and then we will jump into the next session."
…
"Mary, do you have a moment?"
"Of course, Abagail." Mary stated as she walked into Abagail's office. "What may I do for you?"
Abagail gave her a smile. Mary was her best waitress. She was always helpful and willing to do whatever needed to be done. "Mary, I'm needing some help. We are busy and with the addition of Henry, I'm torn into too many directions. I want to hire an assistant manager that can help more here. They won't have to do everything but help me so I can be more present with Henry at times. We will figure everything out as we go."
"Good for you, Abagail. I've told you for years you work too hard."
"Thank you."
"Are you wanting a recommendation? Susan has worked hard. She knows most things and she learn quickly."
"She does, but I'm thinking of someone else."
"Who, maybe I'll know them."
"It's you, Mary. I want to offer you the assistant manager's job. It means you will no longer be a waitress. You will help me run this business."
"Me? Abagail…I don't know if I can do it…?"
"Mary, when I thought of this there was no one else but you. You know this business. You know me. Everyone knows you. You are the absolute best candidate for this job. You are the best person for this job."
"Abagail…"
"The promotion comes with a pay bump. We'll work on the hours and job duties as we go, but basically you will work alongside me. We work together on this. What do you say?"
"Oh…Abagail. I don't know what to say…"
"I would prefer if you say yes."
"Yes. I'll take it."
…
"Mrs. Thorton." Zach walked up to Elizabeth during the ten minute break. "It's great to meet you. I'm Zach Robertson."
"Hello Mr. Robertson. I hope you are enjoying the day."
"I am now."
Elizabeth released the handshake. She thought she sensed a flirting tone in this man's voice. "That's good. Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to make sure things are set for the next session."
"I look forward to hearing from you, Elizabeth."
"It's Mrs. Thorton."
"Of course."
Zach's friend walked up when Elizabeth walked away. "Hey man, what are you doing?"
"I was just introducing myself to Elizabeth."
"Zach, you are about to get into a lot of trouble. She is married and as far as I can tell, she loves her husband. She stares at him lovingly."
"Come on, Trent. You know women don't say no to me."
"To what end, Zach? She's married and she doesn't live here."
"Trent, she's beautiful. Plus, there's no reason not to have a little bit of fun. Especially if she is leaving soon."
"You are going to regret this."
"She's too beautiful not to make a run at, Trent."
Trent walked away shaking his head. He agreed with Zach that Mrs. Thorton is a beautiful lady, but he knew his friend wasn't going to win this one. He knew Zach was about to get himself into trouble.
…
"Alright Adam, it's time for a bottle." Charlette stated as she walked toward the park and to a bench that was beside the pond.
Adam followed her pulling off the backpack and unzipped it to find the bottles and formula. "When we're done here, can we go back to that tool shop down the street. I wanted to see what tools they had."
"That's fine. You just want to introduce TJ and Beth to the world of tools."
"Hush you." He laughed. "Well…maybe but I want to see if they have any tools we need for the workshop for the teens in a month or so."
"Let's get them fed and changed, then we'll see how much Beth and TJ loves tools."
Adam leaned in and pushed his shoulder against his wife's shoulder. They both laughed as TJ reached for the bottle Adam was holding.
…
Elizabeth stood in front of the class discussing her portion of the interaction with Miranda for the first time at Jack's swearing in ceremony. She went into detail about their contact. She shared how polite and sincere Miranda came across. She also shared how comfortable Miranda acted in the middle of so many cops and news reporters. She shared the whole conversation and her thoughts as well.
Jack stood where Elizabeth was standing when he was speaking. He watched his wife effortlessly walk around the front of the classroom with great confidence. She spoke clearly and made eye contact with everyone in the class. He made a mental note to do the same thing. He felt it added to the conversation. He watched her teach from the door in her fifth grade class, but this is his first up front experience. He understood how great she is as a teacher. He was taking mental notes to copy some of the things she was doing to make himself a better teacher.
Even though she was holding notes in her hands and had an outline on the screen, she didn't look at either one. She knew her stuff. He was so impressed with her.
Once she was finished with her portion, she opened the floor up to questions. Zach was the first student to speak.
"Elizabeth, how did you come to the conclusion that Miranda was someone who was trouble?
"It's Mrs. Thorton, Mr. Robertson." Elizabeth quickly corrected him. Special Agent Gibbs moved to the edge of his seat at the improper use of Elizabeth's name. "She was a delightful person to speak to. However, she knew too much for someone who didn't live in Hope Valley. She was almost too comfortable."
"Eliz…excuse me, Mrs. Thorton." Zach corrected himself. "Was that it?" He gave her his dimpled grin. The grin that everyone loves. Elizabeth didn't even notice the grin. After all, she was so accustomed to Jack's grin. No one else's dimpled grin could begin to compare to her husband's.
"No. Several things." She began. Elizabeth laid out the entire scenario to the whole class paying little to no attention to Zach. When she reached the point when Jack walked up after Miranda left, she asked Jack to join her. This was her intention all along. This was when they would both tell the scenario from their point of view since they were both involved.
"I believe Miranda told Mrs. Thorton her real first name, but I didn't feel that her last name was true." Jack began. Elizabeth nodded her head.
"After sharing my thoughts with Chief Thorton and Detective Coulter, I excused myself to my husband's office. I was pregnant and wanted to get off my feet for a few minutes so I could stand with him during the ceremony."
Trent leaned back in his chair. "Give it up, Zach. You have no hope here."
"We'll see." He whispered.
Jack and Elizabeth shared the remaining portion of the story from that day. Both went into deep detail about what they knew and what they thought. Elizabeth shared whey she felt the way she did and emphasized the feeling that Miranda wasn't a common criminal. She was way too comfortable in that setting. "There was no way that Chief Thorton would catch her in the normal way of catching a criminal."
The seminar was going well, and Elizabeth and Jack were happy with everything. Once Elizabeth finished her portion, Gibbs stepped to the front of the class.
"Thank you Chief and Mrs. Thorton. We'll break for an hour lunch. However, the class won't resume until half past one. That will give the instructors thirty minutes to meet with the Thortons. Class, you are expected to be in this classroom at one o'clock. There will be a worksheet for you to finish."
After dismissing the students, several came up to Jack and Elizabeth to thank them for sharing everything. When Zach walked up to Elizabeth, she did not shake his hand. She gave him a polite smile and held her hands in front of herself.
…
Adam loved having both TJ and Beth in the tool store with him. He was secretly hoping they would spend a lot of time with him in his shop. He was daydreaming of days like that.
"Now Beth, this is a battery circular skill saw. They are great, but you have to be careful with them. If they aren't used properly, they will hurt you. But don't worry, I'll teach you how to use it properly." He laughed when she reached to touch it.
"You are not allowed to teach my granddaughter to use that thing for several years, you hear me?" Charlette used her teacher's voice.
Adam said yes ma'am as he turned his back to Charlette to look at the tool again. He whispered to his granddaughter. "She isn't always in the shop. We'll figure it out." He laughed when she reached for his nose and grabbed it.
"Adam Richarson!" Charlette exclaimed. "Do you hear me?"
"A secret about your grandma…when she uses your first and last name, she is pretty determined. However, I'm certain you and your brother will just smile at her and get your way." Adam jumped a little when Charlette snuck up behind him and swatted him on the bottom.
…
"You did great!" Jack stated when the last student walked out of the classroom. He leaned over and kissed her slightly pink colored cheek.
"Thank you. You did too."
"We make a pretty good team, don't we?"
"We do and, in all things, too."
"Are you ready for lunch?" Jack asked.
"I am."
They began walking toward the door. "What do you think about that Zach Robertson guy?"
She smiled as she tightened her hold on his hand. "I think he is a little bit spoiled and not paying attention like he should."
"I agree. I think he fancies you a little."
Elizabeth laughed until she saw his expression. "That man isn't even close to having a chance. You are my soulmate. I would never give up what we have for anyone else."
He leaned over and kissed her nose. "I'm grateful to hear that. I love you."
"I love you. He could never do what you did yesterday." She blushed thinking of their perfect afternoon together. "If you were so nervous about him, why didn't you say anything earlier?"
"I'm not nervous about him. I trust you completely. I'm not taking you for granted. I know I must earn your love every day. I am prepared to show you how much I love you each and every day of my life. I know you wouldn't do anything to put our relationship in danger."
Elizabeth smiled at his confidence in their love for each other. Just like Jack would never place their relationship in danger, she wouldn't either. They were made for each other. No one could ever begin to compare.
"Come on Nani, let's get some food before our meeting with the instructors."
"Let's go, Dimples."
…
The lunch was nice, and the instructors wanted to get to know Jack and Elizabeth a little more on a personal level. The conversation was light and easily flowed. The thirty minute meeting after lunch was all professional. The instructors asked more questions about the two morning sessions. They desired to dig a little deeper because they didn't have time during the sessions.
"Jack, I think I'm going to call mom and dad to check on the babies."
"Are you ok if I go back to the classroom to make sure the PowerPoint is set up for the next session?"
"Perfect. I'll be there in a couple of minutes."
"Please tell them I love them."
…
Adam and Charlette just bought five battery skill saws and ten tape measures along with three levels and five battery drills. They were having them shipped to their home. They got a really good deal. This was actually the first time they spend any of the money they were given for the school program. Adam was excited about the purchase.
"Sweetheart, are you ready for lunch?"
Charlette adjusted TJ on her hip. "I am. Do you want anything in particular?"
"No. I'm open for anything."
"I saw a nice looking Chinese restaurant a couple of blocks away. It smelled good."
"Oh, that Little Changs place on the corner." The clerk said. "It's really good. I haven't had anything there that was bad."
"Perfect. Once we're there, we'll ask for warm water for the bottles."
"I have some here if you would like. I keep warm water for my tea."
"Thank you."
"Hey, this is Elizabeth." Adam stated as he looked at this phone screen.
…
Juile was working on planning the nursery. She had been waiting for any word on her potential job at the elementary or high school. She wished she was more patient, but that ship has sailed a long time ago. She just wasn't a patient person.
"Are you ok?"
"Yes, Tom. I just don't wait well."
"I hope our little one doesn't inherit our impatience."
"I believe we may be in trouble." Julie stated.
"Our little one will certainly bring us active times." He laughed at her facial expression.
As he reached for her shoulder, her cell phone buzzed.
"Tom, it's Mrs. Florence from Elizabeth's school." She stared at it while it continued to buzz.
"Well, are you going to answer it?"
"Hello, this is Julie."
"Hey Julie. I'm calling on behalf of Mrs. Blakely. Would you have a few moments to speak with her?"
"I would." She said very hesitantly.
"Don't worry, dear. You will enjoy this phone call. Let me put you through."
"Mrs. Thorton?"
"Yes, Ms. Blakely."
"I guess we are going to have to find a way to distinguish the two Mrs. Thortons. It's going to be tricky since we have two Mrs. Thortons on staff here at the school."
"Two Mrs Thortons?" Asked Julie.
"Well, that is if you accept the art teacher position."
"Yes!" Shouted Julie.
…
As soon as Elizabeth ended the call with Adam, Zach walked up to her and reached for her elbow. Elizabeth jumped at his touch.
"I'm sorry, Elizabeth. I didn't mean to scare you." He stated in a soothing tone. He gave her a dimpled grin that he was working with all he had.
When she caught her breath from being scared, she pulled her arm away from him. "That's ok. I didn't know you were behind me." She noticed he was working his smile. She laughed a little thinking his dimples were nowhere close to her husband's even though she noticed he was trying very hard.
"Do you have a moment?"
"Not really. Should you be working on your worksheet?"
"We were given a few minutes for a short break before the next session."
"Well, we should get back to the classroom."
"Elizabeth." He tried even harder working his dimples. "Would you please have dinner with me this evening?"
As much as she tried, she couldn't keep from laughing. She covered her mouth trying to stifle her laugh. "I'm sorry Mr. Robertson. I will not be having dinner with you. I will be eating with my husband, my babies, and their grandparents."
"Elizabeth, you can always have dinner with them. I can take you to a special restaurant here in town. They have the best food. I promise you will like it."
"Mr. Robertson."
"Please call me Zach."
"Mr. Robertson, that will not happen, and we are not having dinner together. I am married and I have twin babies."
"Elizabeth, everyone needs a night away. We could have a great time."
"Mr. Robertson, this is not going to happen. You need to stop." She stated as she turned to walk away. "Don't be late for the next session."
…
Halfway through the next session, Jack was discussing all the little pieces of information that Emma brought him almost daily. "She always had something for me. Some little piece of information that didn't seem relevant. I often wondered how she found those little pieces of information." He laughed at the memory. "One day Lee and I was sitting at my desk just looking over the file, Lee looked at one of the many pieces of information and froze. I could tell something clicked. One of the pieces of useless information from Emma clicked with something he knew. That was how we began the connection to the properties."
As her husband continued to share the story, Elizabeth looked up and notice that Zach was staring at her. She shook her head at this man trying to gain her attention.
"That's when we remembered that she wasn't a normal criminal. She would try to publicly explain the vast amount of money she had. Property would be a great avenue to do that."
"Yes." Elizabeth began. "I told Chief Thorton that she had to have a way to explain a large amount of money."
"Why did you think that?" An instructor asked.
"The swearing in ceremony. How could someone who didn't cover all of their bases be so comfortable in a room full of cops? She couldn't just explain that large amount of money. She had to have a good explanation. For that amount of money that Chief Thorton thought she would have, it had to be only a few avenues."
"Yes. Lee made that connection through Emma's pieces of information.
As they finished this section, Jack opened the floor for any questions just like all of the other times. He smiled remembering how Elizabeth reminded him to make sure this is an educational time.
As Jack was finishing up his discussion and opening the floor to questions, He looked up when Zach spoke.
"Elizabeth?" Zach stated.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Robertson, would you please meet me outside in the hall for a moment?"
Zach smiled thinking he finally won her over. With great pride, he stood and began to walk toward the door. He didn't even wait for Elizabeth to join him.
Remembering that Special Agent Gibbs stated that when they were in front of the class, they were in charge. She smiled as she walked toward the door. Jack stood back and watched everything that was unfolding, as did everyone else in the room.
When Zach stepped out of the classroom, he turned to wait for Elizabeth to catch up to him. She reached the door and placed her hand on the doorknob.
"Mr. Robertson, when you are willing to stop trying to win me over and listen to what is going on in this classroom, you will be welcomed back into the class. Until then, I suggest you grow up and realize I am not interested in you. Now, I suggest you go to the front office and inform them that you have been asked to leave class for the day."
Zach stood shocked. This was not how he thought this was going to end.
"We don't have a front office and you can't kick me out of class."
"Yes sir, I most certainly can. Now, if you realize you are not going to win me over for a one night stand and behave like a young man should behave around women, you will be allowed back into my classroom."
"This isn't your classroom."
"Mr. Robetson, this is my classroom. I will speak with Special Agent Gibbs following class today to see if I will allow you back in my classroom tomorrow." With that statement, she slowly closed the classroom door and locked the doorknob.
