Hugh returned to his room soon after the black cat incident was solved. He escaped before Serena could even try and interrogate him of his secrets.
The next day soon followed and Hugh went back to the classroom. As soon as he stepped into the class, somebody stepped right in front of him.
Hugh kimonoed up and realized that it was Aric who came looking for him.
"We need to talk," Aric said with a serious face. It looked like it was a matter of life and death for him.
"What is it?" Hugh replied.
"What are we doing here? Why aren't we looking for Maverick?" Aric rushed.
Hugh realized that they were still on the precipice of the door, so he pulled Aric to the side and talked to him in a private side in the classroom.
