After all the trouble they went through to get these papers, Alex wasn't going to rest simply because he was back at the school. They might not be contagious anymore, but they still weren't cured. They were all ticking time bombs.
He didn't have that much experience working with codes, and he wished he could just scan all the documents and email them to Smithers (not that he even has a way to contact Smithers anyway). But most 16 year old teens have seen a spy movie or television show that contained a plot about codes, so he knew about the most basic ciphers. He could start there and eliminate those. If that didn't work, well, at least he could get everything scanned into the computers.
So every spare minute that Alex had, when he wasn't in class, working on homework, or performing other necessary functions like eating and sleeping, he was in the computer lab, scanning page after page after page.
