Chapter 5 - My Teacher Became the One Person at School I Could Trust—And Together We Found the Missing PieceMr. Reynolds surprised me.
After what happened, he could have avoided me.
Instead, he started looking out for me.
He checked on me between classes.
He reported suspicious activity.
One afternoon, he told me something.
“The computer used to send that email wasn't assigned to a specific teacher.”
“What does that mean?”
“It means someone used a temporary login.”
“Can you find out who?”
He nodded.
“I already did.”
He handed me a piece of paper.
A name.
Nathan Cole.
The school's IT contractor.
I took it to Mom.
She immediately recognized the name.
“Nathan Cole worked for the military?”
“Apparently.”
She stared at the paper.
“Not directly.”
“What does that mean?”
“He worked for a defense contractor.”
Then everything clicked.
The blue falcon logo.
The school computer.
The military records.
Someone had infiltrated the school system.
But why?
Mom's classified operation was the connection.
The investigation eventually found that Nathan had accessed military databases years earlier.
He had disappeared after an internal investigation.
Now he had resurfaced under another identity.
But there was still no proof he was behind everything.
Until security footage caught him entering the school after midnight.
Police arrested him.
But before he was taken away, he smiled at Mom.
“You still don't know who betrayed you.”
Mom's face went pale.
Because he was right.

Nathan wasn't the mastermind.
He was only a messenger.
