I think this is the final part.

Bond had already made up his mind before The Professor left his house, but there was no one he could inform him of his decision. He made preparations the night. He would need to leave town; he understood that he knew too much.

So Bond put his plan into motion the next morning. He wrote a letter to his mother explaining that The Professor had offered him an opporunity to go to a prestige school and he had to leave right away. He was sorry for not informing her sooner. Bond figured the less his mother knew the safer she was.

After he left the note where she could find it, he packed up his things. He did not care to burden his mother with his friend so he dropped Archie off at Jeepnut. Once again, he gave a story that would have the party asking as few questions as possible.

Bond went to the train station and bought a ticket as far away as possible.
------------------------------------------------------------
Monday rolled around and The Professor was disappointed to see that Bond did not show up for class. Maybe he needed another day to make his decision.

Then Tuesday came along and still there was no sign of Bond. Finally, The Professor grew worried on Wednesday and made another house visit. Bond's mother was hysterical when she found out that The Professor had not sent her son to a special school. The Professor was relieved that Bond did not share any information with his mother, but disappointed that he had apparently opted out of joining his organization.

Another day, he thought.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Flunkie and Aladuf stared at The Professor. The Professor too lost in the past barely noticed them.

Flunkie finally spoke, "So why was Bond the last home visit before now?"

The Professor, "Because I never wanted another student to disappoint me."

Aladuf, "But why now?"

The Professor, "Because I have to show him that he made a grave mistake!" The tone in the Professor's voice told Flunkie and Aladuf there would be no more on the subject.

They went back to the table to go over the plan.

A lot shorter, but eh the middle section was long.
