We all know that something is up in the science department. There’s a question that floats through the air in that isolated wing of the school: “What’s going on here?”

The answer came from an unlikely place — the Spanish department.

Making himself known, Mr. Bryant is revealing the real reason he has been working here at St. Paul’s, and the reason he is “moving” to Colombia.

the term “moving” is used loosely here. The word “mission” is much more accurate. The Spanish teacher said it himself: “I am going to Colombia as an undercover agent on a mission to discover who is responsible for illegally capturing and exporting endangered yet highly sought-after brown spider monkeys.”

Interesting. How did this happen?

The unassuming Spanish teacher has more to share: “I was hired by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service because of my extensive knowledge of the Spanish language and my ability to easily infiltrate both at St. Paul’s, where I have actively worked as a teacher, and in Colombia, where my language skills have allowed me to easily blend in without arousing much suspicion.”

But why is he here? Apparently, one of the teachers in the science wing has had possible involvement in the smuggling of these precious creatures, leading to the Spanish teacher to monitor the suspect. Not anymore, however, as the agent is now “moving” to Colombia to investigate a lead.

As a final goodbye to the St. Paul’s community, Bryant (if that is even his name) said, “I would greatly appreciate the St. Paul’s community to view this dangerous assignment with the utmost respect and confidentiality as my very life could depend on it.”

We wish him the best on his not-so-confidential mission!
