Ms. Evans: Qadir wants to speak to you all in the lunchroom, that is not the bell to go home.

Trey: (Knew this was coming...)

Qadir: Now... I hate to bring up what happened yesterday, but as you all know, one of our students; Benji, was shot yesterday and is now in the hospital. It's unfortunate but thankfully he should be fine. I want you all to keep him in your prayers. I think it's safe to say he was the target, but for them to come regardless of us releasing you all early leaves room for speculation. This is why we restrict the usage of phones in the school. We're not sure if a student played a role in what happened, but we don't wanna start accusing people. I just ask that you all turn in your devices. Otherwise, it could leave room for you to be accused or phones to be looked into. I personally wouldn't wanna have to go that far. With that being said, that isn't the only reason I've called you all down here.

(Qadir pulls a gun out of his back pocket)

Gvon: (Fuck!)

(Everybody stares in confusion)

Qadir: This was found in a nearby alley. See, I have my security guards check for things like this.

Trey: (Did he really bring his gun to school?)

Qadir: Whoever this belongs to, I would ask that you come to me personally about this. Doesn't have to be now, and no, you won't be getting it back. But if you're a real man or woman, you will own up to it. THIS BULLSHIT WILL NOT BE TOLERTED, FAMILY. WE AIN'T HAVING IT THIS YEAR. WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH Y'ALL? YOU ASK ME MY OPINION AND I'LL TELL YOU: THIS SHIT IS RIDICULOUS. YOU GONE RISK BRINGING THIS TO A SCHOOL? IMAGINE IF WE HADN'T FOUND IT AND SOMEBODY ELSE DID. WAKE THE HELL UP, FAMILY.
