Turning his head, Marcus looked his friend square in the eye. He knew his friend could have a temper when he wanted to but he didn't think he would actually kill someone. "Who are you protecting?"
Because that was the type of thing that Zan would do. Just as Marcus would and has on countless times. His lips twitched into a small smile about the jaywalking crack. That was probably the one charge that would infuriate his friend the most.
Axe's eyebrows shot up into his head and then he felt a raw kind of anger boil his blood. "Well that obviously didn't work now, did it?" What a stupid idea and so that was why Tate was here and...
"Is that why they hired Duskurk? Hoping he could help figure out who was behind this? Evil minds think alike and all that." Well that hadn't worked either. All that man had done was to terrorise the kids with his unorthodox teaching methods.
"I don't know how it's being done. None of the kids seemed to have anything in common as far as I know anyway. Let's see besides Jake, there was young Tiberius, another Ravenclaw by the name of Madison, um Dylan Denver he's a fourth year Slytherin, Oliver Greenwood another Slytherin and the Hufflepuff quidditch captain Miranda." Yep that was all of them.
Yes. Axe had it in one. Ethan was indeed protecting someone but he wasn't about to say anything about it in case Tate had his office magically bugged.
"Send a criminal to catch a criminal." Ethan agreed, his expression thoughtful. Three of those names he did not know. New students this term he assumed since Truebridge had always made the effort to know his students.
Up until Kazimeriz had fired him of course.

"Gentlemen. Both of you can have a seat. Professor Truebridge," he emphasized the title. Of course Zan was coming back. "It's good to have you back. In terms of the reason you were asked to leave, I assume you've heard from Professor Lawson that we were successful. The perpetrator from last term has struck again." He steepled his hands. "As for the promise I made you, I'm afraid I have been unable to keep it. Several students were injured, which was my major motivation in bringing you back. I need your help if we're to keep him from killing anyone else."
And then came Tate.
Ethan stood up slowly, not out of respect however.
He inclined his head, that part was respectful at least, then after hearing what Tate had to say, Zan took the few steps between where he stood and where the 'headmaster' had sat himself and punched the man in the eye.
