The campus hold had been in effect for eleven minutes when Lennon decided he was not going to stay in the lecture hall.

He had told himself he would. He had sat in the back row with his phone in his hand and the emergency alert still blinking on the screen.

He listened to the professor at the front telling everyone to remain calm and stay seated, he had sat where for approximately four minutes before his brain caught up to the one specific detail that mattered.

Damien's office was on the north

  • Professor Grayson's Favorite sin    Chapter 76: No

    The email had been sent at four fifty-three PM from an address that resolved to nothing, a string of randomized characters at a domain that Roman's people would take approximately forty minutes to trace back to a burner account purchased with cash at a store in New Jersey two weeks ago.Damien knew this because Roman told him twelve minutes after the email arrived, while Lennon was still sitting in the office chair reading the message for the third time.The photos referenced were not specified. That was deliberate, the ambiguity was the point, a way of making the recipient's imagination do the work. But Lennon could think of at least four separate moments over the last two months that, if captured, would be sufficient. The corridor outside the faculty lounge where Damien had pushed him against the wall one evening and kissed him. His father's PI had been on campus for weeks. The math was not complicated."We need to know what they actually have," Roman said, from the doorway. "Befor

  • Professor Grayson's Favorite sin    Chapter 75: Creative Interpretation

    Archer had hacked the camera feed using a laptop, a coffee shop's open Wi-Fi, and what he described as “intuition and personal charisma,” which Lennon chose not to examine too closely.The footage was grainy and shot at an angle that caught the east service road from above the campus security system, which Archer had accessed through what he called a “creative interpretation” of publicly available network infrastructure. He had the relevant clip pulled up and paused on a still that showed the shooter's vehicle pulling away from the service road at speed.Roman took the laptop from him. He watched the clip twice. He set the laptop on the desk and looked at Archer with the expression he had been deploying on Archer recently, which was not quite assessment and not quite something else and occupied an uncomfortable middle ground that Archer appeared to find extremely encouraging."You accessed the campus security network," Roman said."I accessed a network that the campus security system

  • Professor Grayson's Favorite sin    Chapter 74: Officially.

    Richard Kessler walked into the English building at four-seventeen PM like he owned it.He had two aides with him and the particular bearing of a man who had never once in his adult life waited for anything to be offered before taking it. He spoke to the department secretary for approximately ninety seconds, during which time the secretary looked progressively less comfortable, and then he was in the hallway, moving toward the stairs, with campus security trailing behind him at a distance that suggested they were escorting him without having been entirely sure they could stop him.Lennon met him at the bottom of the second-floor landing.He had had seven minutes to prepare for this. He had spent four of them listening to Damien tell him what to say and three of them deciding which parts of that he could actually deliver with a straight face. His arm still had traces of Damien's blood on the inside of the sleeve where the fabric had pressed against the wound. He had turned the cuff ba

  • Professor Grayson's Favorite sin    Chapter 73: I Heard You

    The graze was two inches long and not deep.Lennon found this out by pulling Damien's sleeve up with hands that were not entirely steady and looking at it himself because Damien had said “I'm fine’ in a tone that did not constitute medical information. The skin was torn and bleeding freely but the bone was intact, and the wound was clean at the edges. Lennon had taken a first aid course his sophomore year because Archer had dared him to and had promptly forgotten most of it, but he remembered enough to know that this was not the bad version of what a gunshot wound looked like.He pressed the folded sleeve of his own hoodie against it anyway and held it there."I said I'm fine," Damien said."I heard you." Lennon did not move his hand. "I am doing this anyway."They were in the small storage room adjacent to the office, door shut, the overhead light flickering slightly. Roman had put them here while his people swept the building. Lennon had not argued. He had needed somewhere that w

    The campus hold had been in effect for eleven minutes when Lennon decided he was not going to stay in the lecture hall.He had told himself he would. He had sat in the back row with his phone in his hand and the emergency alert still blinking on the screen. He listened to the professor at the front telling everyone to remain calm and stay seated, he had sat where for approximately four minutes before his brain caught up to the one specific detail that mattered.Damien's office was on the north side of the building.The security officer had said the incident was near the north path.Lennon was already standing before he had finished the thought. The student next to him looked up. He did not explain, he picked up his bag and walked out the side door into the corridor and then out the building's east exit into the afternoon and kept moving.He texted Damien while he walked. “Where are you.”No reply.He texted again. “Damien.”Still nothing.He walked faster.The English building was qu

  • Professor Grayson's Favorite sin    Chapter 71: He... what.

    The news arrived in Lennon's phone at seven forty-two the next morning and by seven forty-five he had read the message four times and was still sitting on the kitchen counter staring at it.“He kissed me back Lennon. Roman Grayson kissed me back in a stairwell and then walked away like he was leaving a board meeting. I have not slept, i feel incredible and insane. I feel incredibly insane.”Lennon typed back: “I thought you kissed him first.”“The second half was mutual. Are you home? I need to talk about this in person.”“I have Damien's office hours in an hour.”“Perfect. I will come. He won't mind.”He would absolutely mind, Lennon thought. He typed “fine” anyway and put the phone in his pocket.Damien came into the kitchen already dressed, took one look at Lennon's face, and said: "What.""Archer kissed Roman."Damien poured his coffee. He said nothing for a moment, set the pot down and picked up the mug. "When.""Yesterday, at the east building stairwell apparently."A pause. "An
