The explosion during parents weekend had worried Hendrix enough, the murders in town sent up a red flag, but this was just too much. A murder on campus. One of their own was dead and their campus seemed to be in imminent danger. He didn't even know where to start but he needed to do soemthing. He needed to feel like he was helping and protecting his home in some way. He snapped back to attention when Jenny spoke near him and nodded his head vigorously.

Baxter smiled warmly at Jenny. "An excellent move on your Miss Parry," he said kindly. He felt bad for the girl, she worked hard and was by all means an excellent Head Girl but here they were in the middle of one of the craziest years. It was very much the same for Headmaster Sato. "We all need to band together," he said calmly. "No one is to go wandering off," he looked at the students more seriously.

Hendrix patted Jenny's hand and gave her a reassuring look then he looked over at Ella and smiled nervously. He would much rather be there with them than have them in any other group. They were lucky to have all been assigned together.
