Catch me - Chapter 8
Elizabeth was giving her class, with a smile on her face, those beautiful flowers in the vase on her desk, it was a constant confirmation that everything was real. She couldn't even believe and understand, why it took so long for the fear of death and the loss of Jack to influence her life and her choices and that fear of losing Nathan made her take so long away from happiness. She continued to teach geography, but her eyes and smile always went to the flowers or...
Or... to the seat, where his student Robert should be. He missed school today. When it came to the subject among the students, it was about Robert's prank, about the teacher's courage and how Robert put the teacher that everyone in town loved in danger of life. Elizabeth started the day with a long conversation with her students, she started by staring at them and explaining that, indeed, what Robert had done was wrong, but that he had already realized his mistake and that he was aware of everything that could have happened. happened, but we could never judge with most of those in the room doing it right now. We must show Robert that every act has its consequences, some of which are so serious that there will be no return, but we must extend our hands to him, because by making mistakes and correcting his mistakes, this will make him a better man, with more values. ...I, Mountie Jack, and Judge Bill, Mountie Nathan, your parents and you children, will also make mistakes at some point in life, but what we can't do is make mistakes and not recognize the mistake and persist in that mistake. Let's look out for Robert, as we always look out for each other here in Hope Valle, I love you all and if I had to I would do the same for each and every one of you, regardless of what some people think of me. And so she looked down, Alien noticed something there in that look, it looked like Mrs. Thorton was disappointed with something. Had someone done something to hurt her, she would have to talk to her Uncle Nathan, she couldn't allow anyone to hurt her teacher.
Elizabeth, taught until almost lunchtime, but was very worried about Robert's disappearance from the school, she just didn't know that Nathan had found the boy and tried in every way to take him to school, but he refused, saying he had no right to be there.
Elizabeth, dismissed the children thirty minutes earlier, Alien and Cody would coordinate the children, playing and having lunch outside the school, while she would go to the police station to ask Nathan for help, she was very worried about that boy, especially after what she heard from some townspeople as he was going to school that morning. She would support everything, any words or accusations against her, but she would not accept in any way, that not even a comma was spoken about Robert or any of his students.
Upon arriving at the police station, she saw the door closed and found it strange, Nathan always left it open as a welcome to everyone. She reached the door and knocked once... Then she knocked again, when she heard Nathan's deep voice ordering her to enter. That's when he had the biggest surprise, Nathan was sitting at his desk and Robert was there in front of him. The boy's face was full of tears. Nathan told briefly that he was trying to convince him to go to school, but he insisted that he should be arrested for what he caused the teacher.
