“How about this,” I said. “Just weeks after Elliot was released from questioning, he transferred schools. Why would someone leave Kinghorn Prep to come to CHS?”

“You’ve got a point there.”

“I think he’s trying to escape his past. I think it became too uncomfortable attending school on the same campus where he killed Kjirsten. He has a guilty conscience.” I tapped my pencil against my lip.

“I need to drive out to Kinghorn and ask questions. She just died two months ago; everyone will still be buzzing about it.”

“I don’t know, Nora. I’m getting bad vibes about initiating a spy operation at Kinghorn. I mean, are you going to ask about Elliot specifically? What if he finds out? What’s he going to think?”

I looked down at her. “He only has something to worry about if he’s guilty.”

“And then he’ll kill you to silence you.” Vee grinned like the Cheshire cat. I didn’t. “I want to find out who attacked me just as much as you do,” she continued on a more serious note, “but I swear on my life it wasn’t Elliot. I’ve replayed the memory, like, a hundred times. It’s not a match. Not even close. Trust me.”

“Okay, maybe Elliot didn’t attack you,” I said, trying to appease Vee but not about to clear Elliot’s name. “He still has a lot going against him. He was involved in a murder investigation, for one. And he’s almost too nice, for two. It’s creepy. And he’s friends with Jules, for three.”

Vee frowned. “Jules? What’s wrong with Jules?”

“Don’t you think it’s odd that every time we’re with them, Jules bails?”
