Chapter Seven: The Explanation

"Hey Haldir," Shawn said.

"Yes milady," the elf answered.

"I gotta question for you."

"Ask anything of me."

"How exactly did you end up being our sub at school?" Shawn asked.

"I was wondering that too," Jo said.

Haldir took another bite off his piece of pizza, his face blank. "Why do you ask?"

"Its just kinda weird. You don't exactly look like a teacher."

"Yer too cute to be a teacher," Shawn said, playing with his hair.

Haldir shifted uncomfortably in his seat and didn't answer.

"What did you do?" Jo asked, eying the elf.

"What do you mean milady?" Haldir asked but he didn't quite look her in the eye.

"Yer up to something. I know that look."

"If you will pardon me milady I am not quite sure what you are getting at."

"I've got three siblings under the age of twelve. I know when someone's trying to hide something." Jo leaned in close to the elf. "What exactly did you do?"

"Nothing milady," Haldir said, looking down at his cup of ramen noddles.

"What did you do?" Jo demanded, glaring at Legolas and Aragorn.

"Not me milady," Legolas said. "I had nothing to do with it. I assure you."

"What about you?"

Aragorn held his hands up in a gesture of innocence, his mouth to full of noodles to speak.

"It was you and Gandalf wasn't it?"

"You oughta be a cop," Shawn chuckled. "Yer good at the interrogation thing."

"Thanks," Jo beamed before turning back to the guilty elf. "Spill the story."

"It was not my fault milady," Haldir insisted. "You must believe me."

"Like I've never heard that line before. Out with it elf."

"Gandalf felt that it would be in our best interest, and yours, if we found you ask quickly as possible."

"You could have waited outside," Holly pointed out.

"That is exactly what I said but he would not listen to me. He insisted that we waste no time in contacting you."

"What did you do?" Holly asked. "And was is this the first time I've heard about all this?"

"Didn't seem important at the time," Jo answered and gave Haldir the evil eye.

"Well, we wanted to get into your academy..."

"Our what?" Holly asked.

"The school dude."

"Oh right. Keep going."

"So we discovered the name of your teacher at the reception desk."

"The what now?"

"Front office."

"Oh. Continue."

"And we found her in the hallway."

"And then?"

Haldir scratched the back of his head. "Well.....I....We...."

"Out with it!"

"I lightly tapped her on the back of the head with Gandalf's staff."

"You what?" Shawn asked.

"You hit her on the head?"

"With a stick?"

"Yes," Haldir answered, his eyes downcast.

"Yeah but that wouldn't have stopped her from going to class, would it?" Holly asked.

"It wouldn't milady. Unless she was unconscious?"

"You knocked the computer teacher unconscious?" Jo and Shawn shouted at the same time.

"Yes miladies."

"You do realize that's a felony!"

"Of course." Haldir paused. "What is a felony?"

"We're going to get arrested," Jo groaned, her forehead hitting the table hard.

"Did she see you?" Shawn asked.

"Of course not. Elves move without a sound."

"You better not have brought fugitives to my house," Holly said to Jo.

"Why me?" Jo mumbled.

"My cute little elf is a felon. How cute!"
