The Third Evil (2003)
“She wasn’t expecting Kimmy to confess, Corky thought. At least, not that fast.
Corky turned her eyes to Kimmy, who gave her a meaningful glance. Kimmy was telling her: Go along with this. Don’t contradict me—I’m covering for you.
Kimmy thinks she’s protecting me! Corky realized. No. No way. I can’t let her do this.
Kimmy is the guilty one, Corky knew. But it isn’t Kimmy’s fault; she isn’t in control of her own body. I can’t let Kimmy take the blame for this alone.
“No, Miss Green,” Corky said. ...“I did it. I was the one.”
Miss Green’s face turned hard and cold. “Follow me,” she said, motioning for both of them to go with her.
She led them through the double doors into the hallway. It was quiet out there, and cooler.
Miss Green stopped abruptly and spun around, anger expressed on her face. “I want the truth,” she snapped. “I don’t want you covering for each other. I want to know the truth. Who’s responsible.”
“I did it,” Kimmy said in a low voice, darting a quick glance at Corky to keep quiet.MoreLess
