"So he is a doctor?" Alex asked, his brows drawn together in confusion. He was still kneeling beside the carton, snapping pictures of the drugs they had uncovered. Each new find left him more stunned. Everyone in the academy carried secrets, but this one felt heavier. Why would Mr. Slade hide his profession? Wasn’t being a doctor something to be proud of?
