We talked a little about what we are up to, but they got the same story as Principal Duncan. Not because I don’t trust them, but they are all really quick to jump in to save me and we need to really know the origins of the trouble here at school. I need to know what the Cunningham’s are up to and what their angle is and I can’t do that with the guys in tow. Actually they are going to be helpful in keeping them distracted for us.

“I can’t believe you took Cunningham’s office from him. I thought you were joking.” Mateo laughs as we walk in.

The single mahogany desk is very upscale for a school, but very on par with his tastes and styles. Kevin Cunningham loves all things expensive and opulent. The wall behind the desk has a large window that overlooks they courtyard area behind the school between the elementary and middle and high school areas. This is where most students eat lunch on nice days. The wall furthest from the door has an extensive bookshelf that I thoroughly plan to look through. I’m not sure if all the books are decorative or if he actually uses them. The wall in front of the desk has a dark brown leather couch, similar to what Alpha Lucas has in his own office at the packhouse. The wall with his office door leading to the hallway has framed photographs of his family. Everything is very formal and no one looks happy to be in the photos.

“Perfect!” Jena growls, sitting behind the desk.

“What?!” We all ask at the same time.

“Lil, check your lock, has it been tampered with?” She doesn’t answer any of us, but that is Jena. She’s like a bloodhound when she’s on a mission and nothing is going to distract her train of thought.

“Doesn’t look like it from the outside. Why?” Jena puts her index finger up to her mouth indicating we should stay quiet. Someone has been here.

“I think someone has been in here, but they were good about covering their tracks.” She gets up and starts to move around the room, not making a sound. I’ve seen this before. She thinks someone has eyes or ears on us. “High school students are probably trying to play tricks on us, since we are new in the pack and the building.” She rolls her eyes as she looks through the books.

“What are you looking for? Can we help?” I ask over our team mindlink.

“Someone wiped the hard drive and then installed a mirroring code, but they are stupid or have no idea that someone in your team has basic computer knowledge and would have set up defenses for general, remedial level hacking. The microphone is live on the computer so I have to assume another one of those cameras we found in the hallway yesterday is probably here.”
