Perhaps the shredded material in the bag which was supposed to be drugs was no more than finely shredded paper? Jim wondered what would happen if he asked if he could take some of it to have it independently analysed. Duggan would just refuse though, he realised. There was also the possibility that the bag might really contain drugs seized from some other pupil's locker.
Michelle had already resignedly started to undress - no easy thing for her in view of her huge belly. She had managed to pull her nun's habit over her head and dropped it on the couch next to wear she was sitting.
"Let me help you remove your underwear," Mr Duggan said, with feigned solicitude. "It must be hard for you to reach your panties.
Just then, Rick burst into the office with the busty pregnant girl he had been dancing with in tow. The two of them were giggling, evidently not expecting to find anyone there. The giggles stopped abruptly and startled expression spread over their faces as they saw Mr Duggan, Michelle and Jim.
"Sorry if we're interrupting something," Rick said, drawing the wrong conclusion. "We'll leave."
"No, wait!" Jim said. "Mr Duggan is trying to blackmail us into stripping for him. He claims to have found drugs in Michelle's locker, but I know that's a lie."
"You are in so much trouble, young lady," Duggan blustered.
Rick knew that he believed Jim rather than Duggan. Even if he hadn't, Jim was his friend. So he went to take his wand from where he had secreted it inside his costume.
