Because he turned off the surveillance!
When he saw Noreen and Daryl gearing up to ss with Rosemary, Jero happened to walk into the tent. He quickly hit the remote to turn off the screen.
The screen was off, but the surveillance still recorded in real ti. Jero just couldn’t see it.
"What the hell happened?" Lieutenant Madden freaked out, and his voice was tense. He looked at Roger, his eyes fiery, "What did your student do to Rosemary? Spit out the truth right now!"
"Lieutenant Madden, don’t listen to his bull crap." Roger was more nervous now. He didn’t understand why Lieutenant Madden was so pissed, but he felt bad.
On the other hand, Jero angrily added, "Last ti, it was his idea for the competition. Rosemary beat Noreen, and Noreen couldn’t take it. Today, she probably wanted to get back at her, so Roger let her take her revenge on Rosemary behind the scenes!"
"You’re framing !"
"Then why don’t you dare to turn on the surveillance and let everyone see?"
"Turn on the surveillance!" Lieutenant Madden barked.
All the instructors were stunned.
Since when did Lieutenant Madden care so much about a student?
Roger was surprised that Lieutenant Madden did not react to the na Noreen, but Rosemary’s na set him off.
He turned on the surveillance, and Jero snatched the remote and minimized the screen to 49 windows, all showing students going through obstacles. There was no sight of Rosemary!
Jero had a bad feeling. He pushed Roger aside and sat before the computer, quickly running a program to lock onto Rosemary’s face. Soon, all the historical records where Rosemary showed up were displayed.
At first, Rosemary was smoothly going through the obstacles until they had to cross a river using a rope ladder. That’s when Noreen and her gang showed up.
He zood in to see Noreen intentionally stepping on the rope ladder, causing Mya to fall into the lake, and Kelly jumped in to save her.
Then, Noreen pushed Joyce into the water, too, and that’s where the surveillance cut off!
Jero slamd the desk in rage, glaring at Roger, "Look at what your student did! If anything happens to my student, you’re screwed for the rest of your life."
He didn’t have ti to assign bla. He stood up and said, "Everyone, follow to the back mountain to save them!"
Rosemary must not be in danger!
Not just because of Lieutenant Colonel Capra’s reminder, but also because she was his student!
His students must be fine, and they must be healthy for the rest of their lives!
Because the history records were deleted after Rosemary’s intrusion, everyone only saw Noreen pushing people into the water, and they didn’t know how Rosemary and the others fought back.
Just as Jero was about to leave the tent, another instructor sat in front of the computer and started to check other surveillance footage.
He was surprised to find Rosemary appearing in other shots. She led a few students through the high board diving platform, low stake, and tire climbing platform and finally successfully grabbed the red flag at the end!
He quickly pushed open the tent door, shouting at Jero’s back, "No need to go."
Before finishing his sentence, he saw Rosemary and a few students laughing and talking as they walked toward the tent.
She’s okay!!
She’s actually okay?!
Jero couldn’t help but rush forward, seeming entirely worked up, "Are you guys alright?"
"What do you an? What could possibly happen to us?" Barry retorted, smirking, "You’re the one who seems to be in trouble. What happened to your face? Did you get into a fight?"
Adair laughed, "Did you lose a fight?"
Jero scrutinized Rosemary carefully, then let out a sigh of relief, casually brushing it off, "Nonsense, I’ve never lost a fight!"
Mya and Joyce were a bit puzzled. Why were there so many instructors watching them from the tent? Was it because they quickly got the red flag and everyone was surprised?
"No need to be surprised. We were following a straight-A student, so we reached the finish line quickly."
"Seriously, the obstacles you guys set up were too easy. They weren’t even fun! Are the people from the other classes not here yet? They’re so slow!"
Lieutenant Madden erged from a group of instructors and walked straight towards Rosemary, giving her a close look.
"Rosemary, did you guys encounter any troubles on the way?"
Rosemary was a bit taken aback. Why would she have any trouble?
Seeing Lieutenant Madden looking so worried, could he possibly know about Noreen bullying them?
Luckily, she had deleted the surveillance footage right after they left the artificial lake.
She smiled slightly, "I’m fine."
"That’s good, as long as you’re fine." Lieutenant Madden finally relaxed, then noticed Barry and Adair, "Oh, Barry and Adair are here too? Finally, attending extracurricular activities, huh? How were the challenges set up?"
"Way too easy."
Lieutenant Madden laughed, "You guys should leave so room for your classmates. Look, they haven’t even reached the finish line yet."
Just as he finished speaking, he saw Noreen leading a few classmates over, their faces red with anger!
Once Noreen reached Lieutenant Madden, she reported, "Lieutenant Madden, I want to report Rosemary and Kelly. They pushed us into the water, wouldn’t let us climb ashore, and even pelted us with stones!"
"Stones hit our heads!" Daryl also began to complain, looking upset.
The others also started accusing Rosemary and Kelly.
Mya and Joyce nervously held each other’s hands. What to do? Although Noreen and her group started it, they indeed ended up being beaten up pretty badly by Rosemary and Kelly.
Barry and Adair wanted to help defend them but saw Lieutenant Madden, who was all smiles before now looking grim.
"You guys actually have the nerve to lie? I saw the surveillance footage, and it was you!" Lieutenant Madden looked at Noreen, "You intentionally shook the rope ladder, causing her to fall into the water, and you pushed another one into the water. Is this true?"
Noreen was completely taken aback. Wasn’t her father supposed to have asked Lieutenant Madden to take good care of her? Was this his way of doing it? And what about Roger?
She then looked towards Roger. Didn’t she ask him to turn off the surveillance and stop recording when things went south?
Why did Lieutenant Madden see it?
More importantly, why wasn’t Roger defending her?
Lieutenant Madden looked at Rosemary and asked, "Rosemary, aside from these two falling into the water, did anyone else from the neurology Class get hurt?" His expression softened slightly.
Rosemary obediently replied, "No."
Only those from the triangular zone could cause trouble for her and Kelly.
Lieutenant Madden breathed a sigh of relief. Luckily, both rich kids were alright, or else he could lose his job today!
