As we climbed the stairs, I said, "Ron, you said outside that someone was accused, a friend of yours. Is that one of the Golden?"
She nodded. "His name is Will. He's nice. The other two are really stuck up." We turned a corner and she said, "That's the room."
There was a short hallway, with three doors on either side and a blank wall at the far end, where somebody had placed a bulletin board.
"Hang on," I said as she walked ahead. She came back to me and I said, "We're investigating, remember? What do these doors lead to?"
"These are offices," she said, gesturing at the three on the left.
"Whose offices?"
She shrugged. "Teachers."
"Can you be a bit more specific?"
She caught my grin and she grinned back.
"Audrey uses the last one. She was giving the test."
"I sometimes use the first one," Ms. Tumolo said as she pushed past us. "We don't have assigned offices." She went into the nearest office and closed the door.
"What about the doors on the right?" I asked Ron.
"Classrooms," she said. She gestured again at the middle one. "That's where they are."
"You'll notice," I said, "that all the doors have glass panels. That could be significant." I winked at Ms. Tumolo through her closed door as we went down the hall.
