Thinking about Neva's idea of a buddy system, Aguilar mentally paired some older students with younger ones in his class. He could convince the inquisitorial squad that these pairings were necessary to knock some sense into the problematic children, but it would really be for the senior students to protect their younger peers. He nodded again at what Norman said - it seemed that there was nothing they could do to rescue Headmaster Trent at the moment. As for remaining vigilant, he had witnessed what could happen if staff members did not put a stop to student misbehaviour before the Neo-Alliance did. Those people were capable of murder.
"We also have to really step up the reprimands, or at least pretend to. The inquisitorial squad is not easily satisfied," he added, just as Gabriela slipped in. She was there with him at the armour gallery, she knew what he meant. He was terribly worried for her after the hoods left to report to Rosier. She looked shaken, but not injured, which made him breathe a sigh of relief.
"We're with you, Gabi. I just hope people outside are doing something to help us," he said, rubbing his neck in frustration. "If there is nothing else to discuss, I'll have to go check on the distraction we arranged."
