Kari Davis

Kari Davis was a former member of "TESS" aka "The Ever Secret Society" but after she quit from that she decided to go into teaching. Kari during those early days of teaching had married Phil Davis and they worked together in the department. Kari later became the Head teacher of the PD/H/PE Department.

Secret Society days
Kari was a member of "TESS" as an agent, she was known as the best in the business, but also fought everyday to keep her identity secret, she did always protect her identity. But one day she dropped a bombshell on the TESS team and quit the force and find a new job. This left a considerable amount of confusion on why she quit her job, but she took an oath not to reveal the location of the base of operations.

Learning the ropes
Kari learnt the ropes of teaching in a couple of months, and she almost meet her husband at work. Kari later married Phil Davis. Kari and Phil took a liking to both their jobs and together they were the force of friendship. Kari even though she swore secrecy on the TESS she could tell Phil that she was a former agent, so she did. Kari told Phil and Phil told her about it.

Back At It
Kari was at home on her shooting range under the house. She was a crack shot and a great aim. She finished and put her gun down and turned around to see Phil watching in the distance. "Great shot hun." "Thanks." "Were you ever trained? Because that's a crack shot that not many people can do.." "I was a former agent so yes I was." "You were an agent of the government?" "TESS to be precise. We had lots of fallouts and most of us had to take cuts and leave. I agreed to leave and live here. It was all worth it Because I know what it is good at and making sure that every other is now around about what those people think, no one else but you knows."

Another Winning Way
Kari was wanting to have those winning emotions like she used to. It was something that had to be done for her. She had things going her way for a long time. It was another long way from TESS to teaching. Kari was talking to Quinton, when he suggested a weekend with Phil shooting in the jungle. "Yeah, that sounds good. Thanks.." Kari did exactly that and enjoyed every moment.

More than One
"It takes a lot more to destroy someone. It is a long road to do that to someone." Kari was talking to her PD class when she was searching up videos. "No one ever will say those really annoying things." She heard thunder in the distance. "We're going to get a storm soon." "How can you tell." "I just know." As the bell went it started raining and Kari said  "Told you so." Kari then left the room and saw it was hailing and people were running around trying to get out of it.

Fire on the Hill
Quinton was standing on lunch duty and watching the hill. He saw smoke coming from the mountains. Quinton had his phone in hand and called BTEC. "I want to know. How's the fire in the mountains going because it's travelling fast. David these things are unforgiving. Trust me." "I know they are. How far do you think it is from the school?" "A kilometer at least. I'm notifying the principal." Quinton hung up and rung the principal. "Gaz, that fire is moving quickly." "Let it get closer and then we'll evacuate." "I don't think so." "Quin--" Quinton then radioed the office and said "It's moving fast. Wait for my signal and we'll evacuate to the other field." Quinton could see the flames getting closer. Quinton then said "Now." Quinton then had the microphone and saw the kids stepping out of classrooms, They had a look of worry. "I want you all to move to the other oval. We have a fire moving quickly over the hills. It gets any closer and the school is over." "But what about you Quinton?" said Kari. "I'll make sure everyone is out of the building." "But what about your wife?" "I have nothing to lose. Now go.." Kari held Quintons hand and said "Quinton I don't want to tell her we had to scrape you off the floor, don't do this." Quinton held Kari's hand and said "Call Jen. Tell her I love her. I'm glad I met you." Quinton then hugged Kari and walked back into the building. Quinton watched as the hills burned. Quinton put his hand on the window. Quinton saw a helicopter above the flames and Quinton was walking through T block and opened the door to see a class still going on. "You guys need to go. There is a fire on the hills it's spreading quickly. Go." The class quickly left and Quinton made his way to the library. As there was no-one in the library Quinton picked up the radio and contacted Kari. "Kari how is everyone?" Kari responded and said "Quinton, you're still alive. What's the progress on that fire. "Fast moving. It's on the edge of the hills." "Quinton get out of there. Jen is with me. Common." "Put her on." "Quinton, you've done enough. Get out of there.." "You know I can't. I'm stuck here. Not really but I'm prepared to save others from dying.." "But not yourself.." "Trust me on this. write a book about it." "That's actually a good idea.." "Just don't called the character Quinton.." Quinton then said goodbye and turned off his radio. Quinton called out to the librarian to see if he could hear her. "Lucy!" Quinton walked into her office and saw her face down on her desk. "Jesus Christ Lucy.." Quinton could feel no pulse she had been dead for a while. Quinton laid her down and placed a sheet over her. Quinton left the library and walked back to T block. There he saw the rapid onset of fire. Quinton grabbed his radio and said "Confirmed everyone out." "Except you Quinton. Out now.." Quinton looked on in horror as the oval was alight. "There goes the oval.." "Grass grows back Quinton. Lives don't." Quinton had a long thought. "Leaving now.." Quinton was rushing out the building when he tripped and hit his head on the ground, knocking him unconscious. "Quinton. Quinton. Are you there?" said Kari. "We're sending help." Kari turned to the fire chief and said "Find him! Find him now.." "We need to know what was his last location.." "He said he was near the library. I want radio contact on when you find him.." "Can do.' The fire chief then got his radio and said "Putting in a call a 44-PIB. Find and extract. Radio contact to be maintained." The fire chief then went with his crew. "That fire wont be the first thing that kills him.." "You thinking he fell?" "I don't know what I'm thinking of.." The firefighters finally found Quinton. "Oh shit.." "What is it?" "I found him.." "Alive?" "Yes. Barely though." "Full spinal precautions." "What's the news.." said the radio. "We found him." "Is he ok?" "He'll live to fight another fight. He hit his head. We don't know how hard." "Take him." Quinton was taken to hospital and given the all clear of brain damage. But his true fight just begun. 3 days later Quinton woke up, beside him Kari. "Welcome back to the world Quinton.." Quinton looked around and said "How bad?" "Only minor bruising.. You're lucky to be alive.." "Was anyone else in the building?" "Just the librarian. But tests confirmed she suffered a heart attack before the event." "How's the school?" "We lost the oval. But grass can grow back. T Block is destroyed, we're having that repaired as we speak. The rest of the school is unharmed." Quinton then said "I'm lucky to be alive then.." "Why?" "I just left the room in T block when I feel." "Funny that. They found you near wood tech.. You were in T block." "I don't remember.. Going in T block. Why don't I have burns then?" "Because you fell and staggered your way to the left exit.."

More than ever
After returning to work after the fire, Kari sat back in her chair and said "That was insane. It not something I'd like to do everyday." 'Well Quinton is fairing more then most would. He put his life on the line to save everyone. But this time I don't think BTEC will accept this.." "Forget BTEC. Quinton is our priority now." "He is. They'll be asking questions. You know that Phil.." "I know, but don't let them know what we know." "We know what you know. Something serious is happening at BTEC." "What is that. It's more then ever now that I wanted to help someone be of use.." Kari then went home and sat down at her computer. Kari was reading up on the story and she was drinking.

At Home
Kari was one the computer reading up on the accident and it went all the way across the world. 'Doctor shows true teaching value' as it went to the most population in the world. It was something Kari enjoyed reading. Another headline 'Teachers saved by ex-doctor' 'Ex-Doctor almost dead after hitting head' another headline 'Crazed teacher saves lives.' Kari read on this for hours. Kari was still reading when Phil came home. "Kari. do you ever stop reading about Quinton?" Kari then said "Yeah. I do. There is a point when you don't read about him.."

Another Day
"And that's why most of you, shouldn't go on camping trips." as Phil said when he was packing up the bus from his classes PD camp. "I said pack enough for at least 2 of you. And most of you did do that but others didn't. I'm still pretty proud of you." Phil said as he changed his shirt. "Hurry and have a shower in that shitty shower or just change and have one when you get home." As Phil got on the bus his class join him and all sat down. Phil then waited for Kari to get back on the bus. "How was that walk everyone?" "I'm tired." said one student. "As I said you can sleep on the bus. We've got a 4 hour trip." Kari walked back after she had her shower and said "I'm good. Lets go." "Everybody on!"

Made The Head
"Alright we have three, in the run for the Deputy Principal position. But.. It's hard to choose one that I actually like.." said the head of the P&C. Quinton was sick of the talking and said "I'll do it.." "You.." "Yes me.." "all in favour?" everyone raised their hands. "That's everyone. Welcome Deputy Philips." As all the teachers were in the room as well Quinton then said "I also step down from the Head of the PDHPE department and let the Head job go to Kari Davis. She's the most trusted member of the staff I know." "It's settled then." The next day an assembly was called and all staff and students were called to witness it. Principal Gary, got up and said "Teachers, parents and students, as you all know we have had trouble securing a deputy principal. Last night one of our most dedicated teachers stepped down from their teaching position to take the job. Today we welcome to the stage Mr. Quinton Philips as the new deputy principal." Quinton stepped up on stage and said "It was no easy decision to make. But I step down from the Head Teacher position and pass the head job over to Mrs. Kari Davis. With the dignity and honour of knowing I have done the best of my ability to do my job as head teacher." Kari was later talking to Quinton. "You know something, I've been waiting a long time to take over your position.." "Haha yeah. At least you know the stresses. I've followed you for so long." "Look now listen, I'm going to have to bring someone else on board to teach in the department. She taught me. I just hope she still teaches." "Kingy? Good bring her up. We need someone else and maybe the husband." "That can wait Davis. We need to fill Saunders' position first then mine." "Well what's more important then? Yours or Saunders?" "Saunders. She been dead for 3 years now. It's now time to move on from her. You know that, of course."

Another Year
As another Year of teaching went by Kari wrote the segment for the schools magazine known as 'Begs Year of Rewind.' She wrote "It's been a long year for all of us in the PD/H/PE department. Mr. Quinton Philips becoming the deputy principal, we said hello to Kari Kingram and John Kingram to the department from down the town known as Snowy Region. The staff and students, who represented us through the highest order. Carnivals and saying goodbye to the Year 12s. The department is now a little quieter without Mr. Quinton Philips but our two new additions brought the age of the staff down whilst Miss Dangerfield was busy climbing mountains, and Mr. Davis getting his lifelong dream to visit Brazil. Mrs. Davis also took over as head teacher this year and the challenge has been great. We also said a sad goodbye to former PD/H/PE teacher Mrs. Jenifer Kari Philips whose life ended tragically in a car accident. She is now writing another best seller in heaven. All the PD/H/PE staff are looking forward to another great year. We hope you all have a good holiday and return safely in the new year and were ready for a bigger and better year next year.

Mrs. Kari Davis PD/H/PE head teacher.."

What
Kari was writing up reports when she was talking to Michelle. "How is the calf? What did he say?" "Torn calf.. He said I could die if I went climbing again.. I cannot have that.. Not yet anyway." "We need you alive as much as possible around here. Have you started your reports yet?" "I have.. Almost done with 2 years. Only a couple more to go. This is getting ridiculous. Kids are getting more rowdy, and one tried to kiss me the other day!." "I know they're getting odd but we are teachers and we are getting used to it again. So we're are the ones in control and we want to know that. They want to know that and it was the funny thing in my degree. I know what others are really thinking."

Another Year (2)
As Kari had every year she wrote up what had happened during the year in the PD/H/PE department and the events and who won things. This year she was asked to write and exract of her own personal life and day, and it was a good line of work.

''"My day would start off at 6:30am sharp and I would get up and get ready I'd have nothing for breakfast as I would drive into town and get something to eat with a coffee. I would try to make it early so the line wasn't so long. And then I would make it to work and the first thing I would do would be to sign in and make sure that the coffee in the staffroom was ready. I'd normally be at work first, doing class work and smelling the smell from above. As breakfast was cooking upstairs, I was hard at work, working on everything from assessments to reports and class work. When everyone else came into the staffroom, I was in my own world finishing off those tasks that others wouldn't. I am known as one of the busiest head teachers in the country. And showing this is that I will return to work after everyone else is gone. The days I do have off are because I am improving my skills and improving the work rate of the staffroom and showing that all can do things better then the others. I do the things that others often refuse to do. It doesn't mean that we give up and do things that others wouldn't do, I never plan to walk away without a fight. Us teachers are often asked if we had a moment of insanity when we entered the world of teaching. Our answer is yes. A moment of insanity followed by years of people never listening. Our colleagues are the thing that keep us going, I don't know what else does, but dedication and legacy of others. "''

Game Day
"I've called in a favour. And BET has been notified about the matches. We will do it this way Quinton. Teachers V Students. Teachers V Teachers and Teachers V Ex-players, abiding by the rules in the NOL handbook. There will be matches played." said Kari to Quinton. Quinton let out a big smile and said "Let the games begin." Kari called for an assembly and had it announced. "Today there will matches played for a one off game of three. NOL rules and refs. And students will be picked at random to play in one match aganist the teachers and maybe on ourside to if you are up for it. Play will begin after students and staff have picked their teams and are ready for play." Kari handed the mic back to Quinton and Quinton said "On the teachers team. Kingram, Kingram, Davis, Davis, Dangerfield, Philips (Me), Sands, Bolla, Franks, Mandy. Bench Players are all the TAS staff." "Student team is picked. Now lets get ready to kick ass."The teachers went down to the field and Quinton was getting ready and so were the staff. Kari said to Quinton "Don't injure yourself buddy because I don't want to be the deputy again.." "Just a word of advice Kari, Franky is so close to being slapped in the head, I wont stop the person who will do it."Quinton looked up as he was tying his boots and he saw Kari. "You should be happy this is just a one off thing. Because we all love you. We don't want to see you hurt and make sure that you don't clash knees." As the match started Kari had the first hit up. Quinton and Phil were on the wings and Kari, Kari and John were the back row and Roy was fullback. "I'm to unfit for this shit..." said Kari. As Kari ran with the ball against the Kids she managed to score a try. As she went over she did her hamstring she didn't feel it and she continued playing. "Awesome try!" said Phil. "I think I did my hammy. I don't know."

Quinton Quits
Quinton was in court, and this time he wasn't the victim, he was the suspect. His Lawyer wasn't there and Quinton had one appointed to him by the court. The teachers were there as supporters to his arrest warrants and charges. Quinton walked in, with his hands in cuffs and a damp look on his face. He sat up in the bay and heard the judge say "You may all sit." Quinton sat down and he looked at Kari with a sad look. "The Honourable Judge James Sullivan will give a court room verdict. And will discuss these charges against Dr Philips." said the bailiff. The judge then said "Kari Kingram. To the stand.." Kari stood up and walked to the stand. "Would you say they Mr. Philips is a violent man?" "I don't think so. But he would never hurt anybody. This is just something that holds him back. He worked as a PD/H/PE teacher for over 20 years. Its something we put up with." "Would you say he had anger issues?" Quinton rolled his eyes as Kari answered the question. "He only showed it when he needed to. He is a professional.." Quinton raised his hand and said "Permission to approach the bench?" "Permission denied." Kari continued. "Quinton managed to get the respect he got from his classes, and from us by being himself something new teachers needed but look where they get.. No where.." The judge then said "So he never had moments of aggression toward you or toward any other staff?" Quinton's eyes opened wide and he slid down into his chair. "I don't know about the other staff members, but he always showed respect to all of us.." "Thank you.." Kari then sat down in the docks and the bailiff called up John. "Next up Jonathan Kingram." John walked up to the stands and sat down. "So Jonathan.." "Call me John.." "So John.. Has Quinton showed anger towards you or anyone else?" John answered truthfully. "To me? He has.. But he never laid a hand on me. We've never had more then just a fair argument. Its something we do. But ever since he left, I received calls from him in the middle of outside practical classes of him wanting me to take him to rehab. But I knew since he was missing I couldn't get involved." "If he called you in those lessons, how come it wasn't stated in the BET records?" "I thought it wasn't relevant. I mean come on, he walked out of his job for a bit of peace and quiet.. Why would you have a moment to wreck that?" "Because during that time he was a drunk mess. He was a mess. He was arrested outside the NOL HQ in Snowy Region, back where he began his career. You didn't want to help that out?" Quinton had finally had enough, he stood up and said. "I walked out of my job, because of a choice I made. It was comments that drove my PDHPE class to move into geography and art. I never meant to hurt that man and I never meant to bring things into disrepute. I was never the smartest person in my classes. But I was one who ended up in a career where I could help people. And you don't know how it feels to give that help.." "Thank you for that outburst Dr Philips.." said the judge. As Quinton sat down, he saw Kilmer stand up from the bench and say "He deserves another chance.." "Excuse Mr. Kilmer?" "He needs and deserves another chance. He is one of the few teachers who are able to be around all those. He helped as many people as he could in his doctor days. He took that into his teaching career. The lives he's saved.." Kilmer then said "If he goes to jail, he wont see out what good he has done. That's all I have to say." Kilmer sat down, and the judge said "I want the jury to decide on Quinton's future." During the time that the jury decided on his future, Quinton was talking to Kari and he said to Kari "I want you to know Kari, I always hated John.." "I know.." "You did?" "Mate you always came to class pissed off after a lesson with him. You did better at SLR then PD." the jury then walked out of the room and Quinton and said to Kari "Remember to feed my cat.". One jury member whispered the verdict to the judge, and Quinton swallowed hard as the verdict came. "Dr Quinton Philips, the court finds you not guilty of assault and misconduct. But you will have to undergo anger management and you will then return to the head teacher role of the PDHPE department." Quinton then said "I'll do anything.." "You're lucky you have friends in high places Quinton.." said the judge. "Not really." The judge banged his gavel and said "I don't want to see you back here."

The Times
"The times roll as we continue to be sure of the way we teach these people. And it was the thing that same thing that some people will be able to do those things that some people are now doing what those others think." Kari said to the teachers. As the news went to air the teachers were in a meeting when Kari read her phone. "Turn the TV on.." "What?" "Just do it!" the TV was then turned on to the news anchor he then started speaking. "We interrupt that program to bring you breaking news. In an amazing fall from grace, Dr Quinton Philips, has today been arrested after a serious assault on a man outside the Snowy Region National Oztag League Headquarters. His other charges are also; 2 counts of serious assault, 3 counts illegal use of his medical license and 2 charges of misconduct and damage. Dr Philips was reported missing after walking out of his teaching position no less then three months ago. And all we can think of.. Is wow." A few days later the reports came in that Quinton was stripped of many. First beginning with his NOL awards. "As this has sent shockwaves through the NOL and endeavoring communities, we have decided to strip Mr. Philips of his Medals, from his Grand final days." said the CEO of the NOL.

Quinton's return
As Quinton went through anger management and his community service he was placed in front of a tribunal. On the tribunal was the head teachers of Begs High and the head members of BET. Quinton had quit his drinking and he managed to conquer a new lease on life. "Mr. Quinton Philips, this tribunal has been set in place to either deny or put your return in place. Why do you think we should give you a return to teaching?" "Teaching is my life.. Teaching makes me feel a lot better. I know teaching can help as many people as it possibly can. I will never give up on a student I never want to see them hurt, I want to seem them be successful." Quinton said. The head of history Mr. Lopez then said "Dr Quinton. You do know this will make or break you? Have you given up the alcohol? The anger issues?" "I gave up the alcohol. I didn't want any more damage then needed be. I have changed my ways. I want to go back to teaching.. Its been a long road back.." "2 years Mr. Philips.." "As I said.. A long road.." As the people on the hearing were reaching their decision, Quinton was asked to go outside so he could learn his fate. "What do you think Kingram? Does he deserve another chance?" "I believe he does.." "What about you Roy? He's one of the deputy teachers, what do you think.." "I think this meeting is bullshit.. And you know it. Quinton needs to do his job again, a teacher without work is like a fullback without the NOL. It wont work.."

Enough Time
"Making sure that he doesn't return to the school is not a priority.." Kari was reading an email. "It was a thing that needs to happen now or never. This student is a threat that most be down on luck." "Its never the way we like to do things, but look now. As we do this and this does not see, right. and making sure everything we do is the thing of our dreams. And make sure that others are able to do things such as this."

The Apology
Quinton was sitting at his desk thinking about all the pain that he had caused throughout the years. He picked up the phone and he called in a favour. He called for some friends to get the textbooks and equipment he had denied for so long. Quinton called all the teachers to a meeting in the staff common room. Quinton then arrived and took his place at the podium. "Quinton, why are we here?" said Kari. "I'm here to write the wrongs. I am here to say that I messed up, and I apologise." Quinton then said. "Science, Maths faculties. I apologise for the funding cuts and lack of equipment. That is why I will reinstate all the funding back up to 10,000, and I present you both faculties." Quinton then opened the door and brought his friends in. "Science I present you with new textbooks and equipment." The Head of Science then said "What else?" "You get the old drama room no one uses as a staffroom, and I will bring back those teachers that I fired." "Good." "Maths, new books, pads and calculators. Enjoy." Head of maths then said "This equipment is brand new?" "Brand new and just for you." "Awesome thanks you so much." Quinton then faced HSIE and said "HSIE, I present you with a grant of $3,000 for travel expenses when you leave for your trip, new books and equipment." "English.. New equipment and books." "PD.." Kari then said "This'll be interesting." "A grant of $40,000 to finish off the floor for the new gym, new equipment and updated textbooks." "CAPA.. New equipment and new books." Kari then interupted. "Did you just say a grant of 40,000?" "Yes Kari I did." "And TAS, new equipment, books, and wood supply." Quinton then said "I only just realised how badly I messed up.. I have also been talking with BET and our local member.. I have decided to extend the budget for every faculty to $14,000. The extra $4,000 comes from me." Kari then said "This has all come a little late, why the change of heart?" "I met my son again. He left for Canada as he told me I needed to listen more. And that I need to take time for others. I fucked up bad, thats the only way of putting it." "You more then fucked up Quinton.. You dragged Roy into this and now he's on leave until someone gives up. You had it easy, while we had to debunk your class and send to frees, you were to busy drinking and blaming Roy on your problems, so yeah you more then fucked up Quinton." said the head of history. "Kim, please, calm down." "No I am not going to calm down. YOU messed up the schools rep and Begs' rep in general. Until you can make it better then giving us money, don't say anything on how hard life is.."

Quinton's injury
Quinton was with his mum and dad on the rod, they were having a weekend get away. Quinton's mum named Samantha and his dad named Stan. Stan then said "Quinton, do you have anything to say to us?" Quinton looked down and said "I failed you guys, I know I should have never resulted to drinking and then punching the dude in the face. But all I want to do is to go camping." "Son I'm disappointed at what you did. And doing that is something we can never talk about again." "Then why are we talking about?" "So we can get it out in the open! Quinton you were a doctor, played for your country and state and why do you think you are one of the most influential people in our state?" "I don't know ma! Because I helped all those people.." "Yeah you did but what else have you done. You managed to get a girl back her life, made a mother bring in a stupid foundation for ants! and managed to give lives and entertainment to those who needed it." As they came up to the spot they camped at the most. When Quinton hoped out he noticed a tree branch dangling from a height. He looked down and said, 'Careful there's a hanging branch there one hit and your dead." "I know son, that's why we won't camp in this spot we'll move 5 metres that way." his dad pointing to the well. As Quinton lifted his bag out of the car the branch from the tree fell and struck him on his legs. He was pinned by the branch. Quinton yelled out "Dad! Get help!" Stan turned around and saw Quinton's legs bleeding and Quinton shaking from pain. "Jesus Christ!. Quinton!" "Ring for help dad!" "On it.." Stan reached for his phone and called for help. He called for them to bring a chopper and some big men to help move a branch crushing his sons legs. Stan hung up and said "they'll be here in a while." "How long is awhile?" "They said an hour at least." "Jesus.." Quinton then said "Mum.. Get the towel out of the bag and wrap it around the cut on my forehead." His mum did what her son told him to. As Quinton also had his arms pinned he couldn't tell if he had a spinal injury. "Mum. Can you do something for me?" "Yeah what?" "Push your hands on my feet." "Can you feel that?" "Yeah I can.." Just as his mum stood up help arrived. "You've got yourself stuck in a hard place Quinton." "Thanks, why don't you HELP ME OUTTA here please.." As medics took over Quinton whispered to one of them "My left leg.. I cant feel it." "Probably cause there is a tree on it." "I'm being serious. My left leg I can barely feel anymore." "We're getting there slowly Quinton you'll be free soon." As Stan and Samantha were moved back to the car and were told to go home. Quinton was freed but carefully placed in a neck brace and his legs splinted. "Lets get you outta here." "So much for a camping trip." Quinton was quiet during trip to the hospital as the last time he was there, he was saying goodbye to a student. "Quinton we need you to stay awake." As they got into the ambulance bay Quinton had finally lost consciousness. "He's unco!" "What the hell happened?" "Tree branches fell on him, arms and legs trapped, lac to forehead and neck." Trish then said "Lets get him to x-ray then to surgery." As his x-ray's were taken Trish and another doctor were looking at them. "What's his job?" "He is the principal at the high school.." "Look at this.." "C5, C4.. Incomplete fracture.. spiral of the fibula.." "His career is on the brink of being over. His unconscious right now, and surgery should be successful. If the cord is damaged he wont be walking anywhere fast.." Trish then said "The news is on it quick.. look.." As Trish turned the TV on it was on the news. "We cross to breaking news tonight." "That's right Jackie. Dr Quinton Philips has been taken to hospital in a critical condition after tree branches fell on him during a camping trip with his parents. I'm standing outside the hospital that he was taken to and doctors say he has fractures to his legs and a neck injury. Teachers at Begs High have been contacted and the vice principal."

Injury (2)
As Quinton was taken into surgery staff from the high school were there waiting for him to come out of surgery. Trish walked out of the operating room and saw the staff. "Trish? How is he doing?" "Incomplete injury to the C4 and 5. Broken legs and cuts everywhere, he was a mess. He lost consciousness whilst in the ambo bay. He's on a ventilator. And what he looks like isn't good." Kari then said "He taught PE for so long, wouldn't you think that he wouldn't have parked under a tree with falling branches?" "Kari, the tree was 10 metres away from the car. He was in the wrong place, it wasn't his fault. It was just bad timing." "How long did it take for help to arrive." "He was with his parents for 2 hours. He asked his mother to push against his feet so he could feel his legs." "Did/ can he feel his legs?" "His left one has nerve damage his right one is broken in 3 places. Surgeons are still working on his neck." "So this could be the end of Quinton's career. A tree branch has ended his career.." "Believe Kari.. It's not the end of the world.." said Roy. "He will do what is right to get back into his career." "His career has gone to shit ever since his controversial walk out, why should we help him?" "Because he's still our friend Phil.. We still have hope.." The neck surgeon who worked on Quinton came out and said "He's gonna need you all." they all turned around and looked. "His C4 wasn't fractured only his C5, which means he will regain his strength over time. But his legs are another story.. Nerve damage from his left knee down, they've repaired the nerve, from the broken bones. His right leg only had deep cuts. We've repaired the cuts. And he should be good." "What about his condition?" "He is still critical. Neck injuries can cut off air to the lungs, but he was lucky. If it was a centimeter lower, he would be dead." "No cord injury?" "None. He is a lucky man. Trish walk with me. See you all later." Trish then said "What's this about Ryan." "His condition is on and off. Whatever we do, his life is in the balance, no joke." "What so he's?" "Both critical and stable.. Its a balancing act." "Shit.." "Don't say anything. Surgery is done and they can go and see him if they want to. His family where are they?" "They were told to go home. They just had shock they were fine. Quinton told me once his family weren't to get involved." "But his colleagues are fine with this?" "Whatever they do, they're a strong bunch of people." Trish then said "I'll take them to see him." Trish walked away and back to the staff. "Can we see him?" "You can but I have to advise you that what you will see is gonna be a shock.. You've never seen him like this. There are tubes and bandages everywhere." Trish walked the staff to Quinton's room. Trish opened the door. Kari and John were the first in. "Oh my god.." Kari had to look away, as tubes were coming out his arms, his leg and chest. John looked down and said "How long has he been on the ventilator." "Since he lost consciousness in the ambo bay, 5 hours ago." said Trish. Roy then said "Our strongest man has been decimated by a tree. But he will be better then ever when he returns." Roy then placed a card next to his phone and said "Get well soon Quinno." Trish then said "I need you to know if he does want to return to work.. If he does.. Make sure he gets a desk job.." "We can do that."3 days later Quinton was still in intensive care, and things were touch and go for him. He had three more surgeries on his legs to repair damage. Quinton now was a long chance of ever waking up. Trish was still waiting by his side waiting for him to wake up. "How's he doing?" said Kari. "He's strong.. But whatever happens, something will be aware of it." As Trish looked back down she saw Quinton open his eyes. "Quinton, welcome back to the world.." Kari then said "Do you remember what happened?" Trish paged Dr Ryan and then said to Quinton. "You've busted your legs and your neck is in a brace.." Ryan walked in and said "You paged Nurse?" Trish pointed and said "He's awake.." Ryan walked over to Quinton and he said "You're a lucky man Quinton.. But since you have a trachy in your neck we'll keep that in there to help you breath and will start a fierce component of the neck rehab in a couple of weeks." Quinton huskily said "Call my dad.. Tell him the truth he needs to know what's up." "We've already told them." "Kari.. Who is the principal?" "Roy's taken over again. You on the other hand need to listen for once." Quinton then said "How much damage was there?" 'Incomplete fracture of the C5. And nerve damage to your left leg. The other leg was cuts and bruises.' Ryan asked Quinton if he could lift up his arms. "Lift them for me.." Quinton lifted his arms and made a fist with them. "No damage to the nerves in the arms, no weakness on both sides.. You are something special Quinton." "I heal differently then most people. But spinal injuries are not something I take lightly. I will do whatever it takes to walk again.." "YOU do know it takes at least a year for nerve regrowth?" "I know.." Quinton then said "I remember the words you said to an unconscious person, Ryan.. You said if I'd wake up it would be the thing that others would never have seen. What did you mean by that?" "You've been in intensive care for 3 weeks. And you're still touch and go Quinton. You are not out of the woods yet. You have a brace and we are controlling your comfort and breathing.." As Quinton was about to say something he dropped in and out of consciousness. "Quinton.. Stay with us.." said Ryan as Trish prepared to take him to surgery again. "What's happening?" said Kari. "Kari call his family. This isn't a run of the mill injury. I think he's having a bleed on the brain.." Kari looked in shock as Quinton's neck brace was removed to see scarring from the previous surgery. Kari walked out the door, and as she reached for her phone. Quinton's parents were in front of her. "What happened?" "He was talking and he was awake not just ten minutes ago." Ryan walked out and he said "He's going back to surgery I am sorry. He's showing symptoms of a bleed." Ryan and Trish were wheeling out Quinton when, Samantha looked on.

Again
Quinton walked with his cane and he walked and he walked. This time he was walking to the high school. Quinton walked through the gates and he saw students sitting and eating lunch and talking to each other, some walked up to Quinton and said "How are you going?" Quinton replying with hand gestures. Quinton knew the teachers were having lunch in the common room when he walked down. He opened the door and he smiled as he reached for the handle for the common room. He knocked on the door. Opening the door was Roy, who said quietly, "Quinton.. Come in.." As Roy opened the door Quinton walked in and he saw the reactions of the staff. "Quinton! How are you?" said Kari. As the door closed Kilmer came in and said "We welcome you back with open arms, Dr Quinton, but we need to discuss something." "What is it. Everyone here deserves to know." "The Board of Education has put you on probation from any activity that puts you and your neck at risk. We've decided to bring you in a deputy putting Kari back to the PDHPE department." "Thank god for that!." said Kari. "The Board of Education will also give you 6 months to prove that whatever is in your interest we can double. Since you were camping with family the BET has decided not to give a settlement but if you retire we will settle in a out of court time." Quinton then said "I don't need a settlement. I am returning to work next week. I don't need to prove myself.." "As we thought, but we will like you to know, whatever you need we can help." As Kilmer walked out he smiled a wide smile.

New Deputy
"Michelle, I know you've been enjoying some much needed rest but I need you to do something for me.." said Kilmer to Michelle. "Why what's the matter?" "Quinton's returned back to the PDHPE department and he just called me saying he made his choice." "That choice was 7 months in the making.." "He's quit the deputy position." "He did what?" "He quit the position to go back to what he knows best." "Where does that bring me into the mix?" "Since you're one of the most experienced BET has decided for you to take the position.. What do you say?" Michelle was surprised. "Of course.. I'll take it. But why didn't Kari want it?" "Kari, Kari, John and Phil are to busy welcoming Quinton back and Quinton needs a distraction to get over his spinal injury.." "Just one question.." "Yes?" "Is he chairbound like Saunders was?" "No he's up and walking.." Michelle nodded and said "Alright I'm in, but under my circumstances. 1) I have Mondays off, 2) I can take back the rules of funding toward any department, 3) We finish off the floor for the dance shed." "3 is stupid you only dance once a year.. No on three. The other two are fine." "Alright then, we tell Quinton that we're brining you in tomorrow. I told him it's an old friend taking over his position. Michelle and Kilmer shook hands. Kilmer walked back to Quinton's office and knocked on the door. "I see you're still here Quinton." "Packing my stuff. Bringing in the new deputy requires skill, and I'm not arguing any more. I've made a good choice." Kilmer then said to Quinton, "I'm coming back tomorrow to talk and you are going to be the person who hands over the ranks. It's going to be fine." Quinton smiled and then he said "No matter what I do, it not about me anymore." As Quinton left the room with his stuff Kilmer smiled and chuckled to himself. The next day Quinton met up with Kilmer and Kilmer said "Quinton, here read off this. It'll help." Quinton took the paper and he said "Alright good." Quinton then saw Kari walking toward the hall. "Kari!. Come here for a second." Kari walked over and said "Yeah what's up?" "The P&C is breathing down our necks about this, but here take this camera and film the new changing of the guard. Kilmer will tell you when to stop filming." "What after that." "Onto the schools website and page, parents need to know what is going on." "Alright on it." As Quinton stepped up to the stage, he sat down and waited for his call up. Whilst Quinton was sitting down he made a 'rolling' sign to Kari and Kari started to film. The school captains then said "We'd like to welcome Dr Quinton Philips and Mr. David Kilmer to discuss the future of the deputy principal position. Dr Quinton." As Quinton stood up he had the paper Kilmer gave to him, Quinton placed the paper and the stand and he put the mic to his face. "Good morning teachers, students and members of the Board of Education. For the past couple of months, I have been contemplating a move back to the PDHPE department and a future as deputy principal. Today is the day I make a move to the future. Today I have decided to move back to the department that welcomed me with open arms. I am going back to the PDHPE department." As the crowd drew whispers Quinton continued "As this is a move of change, the position has been offered to many, and only one person selected to take it." Outside the hall Michelle was walking up the steps, she was ready to take on the biggest career move to date. "I'd like to welcome to the deputy position Ms. Michelle Dangerfield." As Michelle walked up to the stage, Quinton stepped away from the mic and reached for the plate that had the badges on it. "Ms. Dangerfield I present you will your name badge and your position badge." As Quinton placed them on Dangerfield's shirt he then received the mic. "These badges will identify who you are and they will tell a story for years to come." "I also present you with the key to the deputy offices, the key offers to open record folders and files." As Michelle stepped to the mic she said "Thank you Dr Quinton, but this is to much. Just let me sink in to the job first." Quinton nodded and said "Go for it." Michelle continued "Just a couple of days ago I was on long service leave because I'd lost a close friend, for about 3 months I walked away from teaching, and walked away from something I held close to me. But receiving the call from BET declaring that Dr Philips decided he needed to go back to the PD department, was the wake up call I needed." As Kilmer was on the stage he decided that he wouldn't say anything. "Today I humbly accept this offer to be the deputy principal and I wont make promises I wont keep, but I promise one thing. To do my job." As Michelle stepped down, Quinton got up again and said "It's been a long couple of years, but we have a new deputy and one who wont make the same mistakes I did. I thank you all for your support and words of encouragement." Quinton then stepped down from the stage and Kari stopped filming.

Not Knowing
Quinton was sitting in his old office, and it was the way he left it. A mess, and it was going to be the same for the next while. Quinton then stepped down into his underground medical bunker and he said to the staff on duty, 'I am releving you of duty. I'm going to let you all go and find a job in a hospital." Quinton said with his head held down. "You're about to do a runner aren't you Quinton.." said on Doctor. Quinton lied "No.. I want you all to get a proper job with the skills you have. Some will be the best surgeons others good nurses. Go on let your dreams come true." As staff started to pack up the medical gear, Quinton saw Dr Ryan, "Ryan.. I never remember having you here as a part of this medical team." "You didn't.. You are running away.. From what Quinton? Staff? A broken neck? It's not going to help, people here love you including your son." "My son wants nothing to do with me anymore and I respect that decision.." "No Quinton. You're running away from this life because you came back from a broken neck to teach PE again and you are going to let people think that running away is a good thing.." Quinton then said "I'm not going back home to Snowy Region I'm going back to home old house to enjoy what I have left." Quinton then slowly walked away.. "What about Kari and John.. You've let them down.." Quinton then said "Do what you want with the staff here.. Send them to the hospital they can work there full time.." Quinton got back to his old office and he put the keys of the table but didn't lock the door. Quinton then walked to the PE staffroom when he was stopped by Kari. "Quinton, do you know where we left the reports for the profit of the team going to go play netball?" "No.." Kari walked away and got to the staffroom and he sat down at his desk. He started writing a note in his workbook. His note reading ''"Dear Staff members who find this, I hope it finds you well. I've decided to walk away from teaching for a lttle while. I need some time to myself and I need to re-discover myself, and make sure I am up for the challenges that face me when I return..''".
