"I'm very sorry, Mr. Hanes. I... I thought he was with us. W-we are having a school activity and I thought he was playing with Zia. I'm very sorry, Mr. Hanes!" Jasmine quivers with tears as she explains.
There was a school activity that afternoon and Jasmine is one of the organizing staff. She then spoke with Eli and Zia to play with the other kids while she join the other judges. They need to cast their votes for the slogan contest held for the higher grades.
There is a school ground separated for pre-schools. The kids can play safely there while waiting for their guardians to come pick them up. It was a safe place because it was inside the school premises. The small park is not accessible to other people who do not have a guardian pass.
The security guard was strict so Jasmine was confident when she left the two to play.
