'Kassy, I know all about the police and I know exactly why they are here. I know your plans and I have to tell you, no. I have to advise you to ask them to stand down. But before that, come, let's take a walk, just to talk.' She stretched out her hand.
Anthony had been right; she really did know about the police.
'Talk? About what?' I put my hand in hers.
'The truth. I know you've been searching for answers, and no one is really of any help, but I will help you. I will tell you the truth, I will tell you exactly what you want to know. You deserve that much.'
Emily led me to the river close to the park. I had memories with Lily in that place. I remember we always used to go there after school, especially if we were avoiding chores.
Those were simpler times when all our problems revolved around basic things like chores and begging to wear particular clothing to church on Sunday.
