Perhaps the symptom most striking of that discomfort that Peachlyn brought back, it was that none of us wanted to believe he could ever be guilty of something.
And even if we would not have been able to give full confidence to his words, his version of the facts was also the only evidence that we had. One thing was clear to all, in fact: if our game master he followed a pattern of some kind, Peachlyn Drew to be guilty of something.
"Hey". I went to her and knelt down to grab your hands. It was difficult to establish a visual link intimate with those masks on their faces, there did seem to be inhuman and distant light-years. "Listen To Me, Peachlyn. Now we need to help us".
"Kerys, you heard what he said to dr. Crain..." Hewitt tried to dissuade me, perhaps thinking that riponessi confidence in Peachlyn.
But it was not her that I trusted, rather, of our ability to be able to distinguish what was real or not.
"I know, but it's the only way that we can follow."
Then Hewitt and Draven remained standing behind me, intent on listening. I went on the girl from the eyes in tears.
"Can you tell us about what happened between you and
Cassidy?" Peachlyn you let go of one last hiccup, then squeezed my hands between his, and you decided to speak.
"Cassidy was my best friend. That is the fault of his ex-boyfriend if he is dead."
People liar say a lot of lies, but these lies often lead to believe the reality that is created in their head.
"Are you referring to Vincent Blackwell?" "Yes," I confirmed.
"That guy was... disturbing. He was a stalker, all he was always on me, one time we went with him to the Inverroche, before that was on fire, and for a short time was not a barrel".
Often, the liar reflect on their insecurities. Their accusations are mostly the admission of its guilt and they obstinately with those who believe they are competing with them for something, perhaps in the context of academic or working, but also... for the love.
"I've told you" I told her, remembering when we go to take a ride in the city, along with Fergie and the rest of his friends. Peachlyn seemed to find the Cassidy".
My approval was what seemed to yearn for, in that moment.
"Exact." Nothing of that story made
me think of a crime, but I had to remember that not everything that was said Peachlyn was true. I was wondering just
what conceals his story. In the end, had to be a reason if we were locked up in that place. One thing was certain, in that version of the facts, Vincent came up clean.
"Cassidy and Vincent didn't agree?" I asked, trying to dig deeper, but I could see that that question was begi
Soon he joined the sixth and gave way to her scripted. "For nothing!" he exclaimed. "He was with the breath on his neck, a time to just not hit you. Luckily, I was there".
"I don't see how this can help us to find Bonavick," said Draven, dismissive.
"Shut up, please," the shooting Hewitt. I went on
Peachlyn, trying to regain that air of confidence that had been created.
I was more than happy to see Draven to get away, for
go hear what he was saying, dr. Crain on the phone. His comments would have only made the situation worse.
"I have one last question for you, Peachlyn. And I need you to be sincere with me, otherwise we will emerge alive from here."
I didn't want it to look like a threat, but was frightened enough to bring them back, tears in her eyes. I knew that, after all, was not a bad girl.
But I also knew that my question implied that she was still submitted to my judgment.
He nodded and so I did not hesitate to make my next move. "Fergie said that Vincent went to class with her and is a bit' that does not see, it seems to have disappeared from circulation. You know why?"
A laugh of bitter the sconquassò throat full of tears. "We believe that he has disappeared, after what she has done."
I and Hewitt, we threw a glance; he crouched down even him to my side to give me a hand.
We walked on a path to the mine, one wrong word would have been like a fuse ready to explode. Peachlyn you would be pulled immediately back as soon as she understood that we were trying to raggirarla.
"Peachlyn..." he said. "What did Vincent?"
"Don't you know that?" asked the girl, almost amused now. It seemed to follow a script, imitating the reactions that she thought that she show.
"We 've written an article over, talked of nothing else for the college".
"When?" I asked.
"You weren't there" she hastened to say. "Were you... Were during your kidnapping. We were all so bad for you, you know?"
It was clear to me both in Hewitt, who was trying to change the subject, and I was wondering what it was that his subconscious was trying to avoid.
"Cassidy and how he took it?" It was Hewitt to ask. "He was sad after that
is gone?"
"No," he said; then, under our gaze a little
convinced, it ran a little broken. "I mean, there was still evil. But I was there f was in need of Vincent".
I took a deep breath through the gas mask.
"Peachlyn, I need to know one last thing: where do you keep all of the outputs of t
"You can look for them on the server, on the computer". Shrugged.
So I put it in my feet, and I reached one of the locations. I looked Davil approaching, and while Hewitt suggested to Draven to try and keep Peachlyn occupied, I began poking around on the computer.
"Aggiornami". Davil put his hand on the back of the chair on which I stood, while with the other she held call Cavanough, and there was even closer. Hewitt was sitting against the desk, on the other side.
"Says the ex-boyfriend of Cassidy disappeared".
"Detective, I confirm the death of..." , "Vincent
Blackwell," said Hewitt aloud, while I frugavo in the server of the student newspaper, the research output of that month.
Davil had put the detective Cavanough in speaker. "I just checked. No death is declared, probably has only left the college or the city."
I found the series of drafts for printing and I tried one of the first weeks of June. "I found it..." adocchiai immediately the output of June, but it soon appeared, and another. "There are two versions, one is a rectification".
"April," he ordered me Davil. I
shouldn't have thoughts disgrace in that moment, but the way he said that, with the gas mask that the arrochiva the voice, made me for a brief moment to think of the idea, which were not in the files I was asking to open.
Walked away that image from my mind and I opened both the pdf to compare them. Down to find the pages do not match.
An article had been replaced in a matter of a few days in the press. But the thing that left us breathless was the title.
Davil read it aloud. "Student of Letters, Vincent Blackwell -
accused of sexual violence, repeated".
The article was replaced with recipes. Hewitt and I looked at each other shocked. I was sure he had never heard anything of that story, or I would have told. I had done a record with the details of the two weeks in which I was concealed, when I was admitted in the hospital and he had come to see me every day.
