He does not

You linger on the sidewalk for a minute to see if Brian comes out. When he does not you shrug and head down the street to your car, hoping that he has the sense not to say too much to the reporter.

Not that he has much to tell her, you remind yourself. You don't know what his story was to get hired, but you doubt that it's as seedy and unlikely as yours. You hadn't given much thought to it before now, being grateful for the job and the chance to restart your career, but Holly's words have raised the doubts and unease that have been buried inside you since you were first interviewed.

If she's right, and whatever happened last year necessitated a cover up, then perhaps it also caused dissension among the Board of Regents. Perhaps hiring a alcoholic that has been fired multiple times was part of some power play between the powerful people who governed the school and sent their daughters there. And if that was the case, what does that mean for you.

You're mulling these thoughts over as you reach your car, unable to reach any conclusion except that you don't know enough to reach a conclusion.
