Chapter 153: Celibacy Gone Wrong.

"I saw them heading to the clinic," Alex said when he returned. He had been sent to check if Principal Valois and Mr. Slade were around. "We can go ahead and break in."

"Are you sure?" Hailey asked, needing some assurance that it was safe. They were hiding behind the house next to Mr. Slade’s. Her relationship with her elder sister was already strained, and being caught in such a situation would only make things worse for her.

"Alex is smart. He wouldn’t have said so if it wasn’t true," Taros replied, trying to ease her worry. Hailey gave a weak smile. Taros added, "Slade got a spare key from the house masters’ room. He’ll use it to open the door."

"I will never get used to that name," Hailey muttered. Every time Beta Slade was mentioned, her mind always went to Mr. Slade, the teacher.

"Then I’ll start calling him Beta Slade," Taros said.

"That would be better."

Slade glanced around, making sure no one was watching, before marching toward the house. Alex kept watch while he worked the lock. To his surprise, the spare key turned easily, and the door creaked open on the first try. He signaled for the others, and they hurried inside.

"Shouldn’t I stay out here and keep watch?" Alex asked.

"No, I’ll do that. You should go in with them," Slade said, stepping aside. "If Mr. Slade returns, I’ll lock the front door and you all can escape through the back. That way he won’t even know someone broke in."

"Good idea," Taros agreed, though his tone carried a warning. "Be careful."
