An Administrator Came to Westchester

[ngm_miscellaneous]

Mrs. Mary MacNeilly had made the hour trip out to a private school in Westchester county. She was the person assigned from the State Education Department's Office of Nonpublic School Services to perform a surprise inspection of the Xavier Institute for Higher Learning. It had been some time since an in-person inspection of this learning facility had been conducted. It had fallen to Mrs. MacNeilly to go and assess how the school fit the understaffed Office of Accountability's educational parameters.

She drove her midsized sedan up to the gates. She announced herself on the intercomm as "Mary MacNeilly from the New York State Education Department for a compliance inspection."

She drummed her fingers on the steering wheel as she waited for some administrator to allow her on the grounds.

"Yeah, only my room's not close to the big kids. I live on the other side in the 'dult wing with my daddy and my big brother and Hana and Jeremy and Zach." And Sage and all the other teachers, but those were the ones she was closest to. Rose and David lived on the big kid side. She'd get there someday!

"I see." Copious mental notes were made. About the school and contacting Child Protective Services about this girl living in a danger zone. Mrs. MacNeilly stood up. "Well, I'll let you get back to playing. Just watch out. I need to drive through on my way out."

"Okay! Bye bye, Mrs. MacNeilly." She didn't look so scary anymore. Less grumpy anyway.

Emily stepped over onto the grass to wait for the lady to drive away before she went back to her game.

"Goodbye, Little Miss Emily." She gave the girl a slightly tight smile before she headed directly to her car. Once inside she took a moment to take in a deep breath. No screaming here. They might nuke her car like they did that building. She started up her car and carefully got herself off the property.

Once she was clear of the gates, she hit the gas and headed toward the administration building. Oh, what she had to report on Xavier's could not wait.
