Excerpt from: Quinn's Code 12 – Stacy the Brain

She glared at Sandi. “Now, Ms. Griffin! Why did you attack Ms. Morgendorffer?”

“She started it!” Sandi said in a surly tone.

“Not true!” Quinn interjected.

“Wait a moment, Ms. Morgendorffer!” the Principal said. She turned back to Sandi.

“Wrong, Ms. Griffin! The evidence clearly points to you initiating the hostilities.” She picked up a remote control. She turned attention to a tv screen to the side of the office. Security camera footage of the incident in question was then shown. “First, you push, Ms. Morgendorffer away from Ms. Rowe, with whom she was conversing. She pushes back in response. Then you punch her to the ground!” She then paused the tape. “What do you have to say for yourself?”

Sandi remained silent.

“I have no choice, but to give you detention.”

“Detention! No!” Sandi objected.

“You have no choice in the matter!” the Principal said.

Sandi looked down.

“For the next fornight you will report to Mr. DeMartino for an hour after school.”

“Why me, Angela?” the teacher in question asked.

“Because you were there. Mr. Ewing wasn't. His tardiness will be investigated!”
Defeated for the moment, DeMartino lowered his head, similarly to the student he was to detain. “Yes, Angela!”

The Principal then turned to Quinn. “Ms. Morgendorffer, this time, I'm, letting you off with a warning.”

“Yes, Ms. Li, but I was only defending myself.”

“That much was clear, but you still retaliated.”

“I understand,” Quinn said.

“Now, you may all go to class. Anthony, accompany, Ms. Griffin there!”
DeMartino sighed. “Yes, Angela.”


Later that night, as she prepared for bed, Stacy thought about the events of the day.
