Elisa rubbed her temple; she loved Alex, she really did, but... "Alex, when other kids are being jerks at school, you're supposed to tell a teacher. You can't go around taking matters into your own hands."
Alex stood in the hallway, glaring mutinously. "I can when the teachers don't do anything. That's what the clan does when the cops fall down on the job, right?"
"That's different." Elisa sighed. "You know I'm going to have to tell your parents, right?"
Alex raised his eyebrow, a mannerism he had to have picked up from Burnett. "Go ahead. Last time they found out about this kind of thing, Owen said he was proud of me, Mom laughed for five minutes straight, and Dad bought me and Lex ice cream. This time I'll probably get pizza, too, since I didn't actually get caught."
Elisa raised her eyes to the ceiling; why was she even remotely surprised? "Yeah, I was afraid of that."
