Our Holy Mother of the All Saints High sat in a hollow, falling off from the road into what had once been a pleasant meadow all covered with daisies. Now there's a parking lot, filled with vehicles and buses, with a rather massive school seated back from it. Rising gothic architecture adorned with crosses, stained glass windows, and, above the entryway, Jesus on the cross, looking down with a smile upon all who passed through those doors. The bell had just rung, ending the final period, and students were rushing to their buses or milling about, waiting for friends or other modes of transportation to take them home.
The Principal's Office took up the entirety of the top third floor. Large and spacious, it also hosted the faculty lounge, though it lay empty. Teachers typically wanted to leave as fast as students did. Outside the office proper, adjacent to the lounge, a rather severe woman typing neatly away at a keyboard was just finishing up her work. The intercom upon her desk buzzed, and she reached to press the button labeled 'talk'.
"Yes, Father Alistair?"
"Please inform Sister McKay to report to my office. Then you may leave."
"Yes, Father Alistair."
Father Alec Alistair watched as the secretary went to fetch the teacher, a slight smile forming on his dark pink lips. It had been years since he had actually exercised the "Father" in his title, having left his congregation to take the post of principal here, and it was fair to say that he had fallen from grace. It was too tempting to take advantage of his position, given the uniforms the girls were required to wear here. Still, he had only done so in extreme circumstances, such as the one that lay upon his desk now.
Rising from his seat, he planted his powerful, large hands on either side of the manila envelope. His frock was slightly wrinkled, the black fading into a dull gray. Salt-and-pepper hair framed his face, hanging down to his shoulders, which he swatted out of his hazel eyes, studying the pictures. Though thirty years of age, he still held the powerful build of his youth, though it had gone slightly to seed; broad shoulders slightly drooped, muscles not quite as firm, six-pack abs starting to drift. Still physically fit, but not as fit as he could be.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk. Sister McKay, you have been very naughty."
Tucking the pictures back into the envelope, Father Alistair threw the envelope into the left-hand drawer and took his seat once more, awaiting the arrival of his next morsel.
