Fighting Fire with Water (Part 2 of 2) (2)

Iris was arguing with Officer Brooks, a police officer who knew about Iris's past. She thought Iris had caused the explosion. Iris blamed a criminal named Mr. Golden. He and Iris's father, Blaise, had acquired the power to control fire.

"Don't muddy the waters," Officer Brooks said. "You can't fool me."

"You're all wet," protested Iris. "Mr. Golden is trying to destroy the lab."

Since Office Brooks couldn't prove Iris's guilt, she let her go.

Harry and Iris got into Iris's car, and Harry told her what had happened.

Iris said she had spotted Mr. Golden after the explosion. Before he drove away, she had put a tracking device on his car. He was currently driving across Deepwater Bridge. Iris called her father so he could intercept Mr. Golden and throw cold water on his plans. Then she pushed a button.

"The tracking device can shut off the car's engine. It will be dead in the water," she explained.

Iris and Harry found Mr. Golden and Blaise fighting on the bridge. Blaise's attacks were rolling off Mr. Golden like water off a duck's back.

Teaching Topic: How to Address Your Teacher 如何稱呼老師
teacher 在英文裡只能當形容老師, 所以不能說 Teacher + last name,
而是說 Steve works as a teacher.
所以在國外尊稱男老師是用sir, 女老師是用 ma'am 或 miss,
但大多數的學校可以直接用 Mr. + 老師的last name: Mr. Lee,
未婚的女老師可以用 Miss, 已婚的女老師是用 Mrs. + 冠夫姓
不想說婚姻情況的可用 Ms.
大學則是用 Professor + last name,
若professor用博士學位可以 Dr. + last name
