Chapter 39

The police arrived and took the two robbers away. The kids kept cheering for me but I couldn't let word get out so, I gathered them together.

"Kids, don't tell anyone about what happened today, okay?" I requested with a smiling face and they stared at me confused.

"Why not, Teacher?" Christabel, an elementary school pupil, asked.

"Because she's a superhero dummy. Superheroes don't reveal their identity." David, also an elementary school pupil, replied and I laughed.

That wasn't quite the case but, I let them believe whatever they wanted to believe.

"Not only that." I said "Your parents may get scared and get me fired. I'll loose my job and so will Mr Williams. You don't want that, right?"

They all stared at my pitiful face with sadness and shook their heads.

"We don't want that."

"So, let's keep this our little secret, okay?" They all nodded and I smiled. "Now, tell Mr Williams that you're sorry for the inconvenience!"
