Her eyes narrowed, but she looked back down to the floor The resident advisor was right next to her and said to the second cop, "I’ll go with you guys I can answer some of your questions about Phoebe"

The humor fled as both see her up and down It was as if they realized so on The first one clipped his head in a nod, reaching for his radio "Sounds good" He pressed the button, speaking quickly into it He looked at us "You want a ride in the squad car or follow behind us?"

We moved as one

I moved back into Shay at the sawith you guys" Casey’s shoulders were rolled back and set in a determined line Kristina was next to her, and Casey clipped her head to the right "Her, too We’re Kennedy’s rooood to me" The first cop led the way "See you all at the station"

The second cop trailed behind, holding on to Phoebe’s ar that girl?"

Casey snorted "They should"

"Co me forith his hand behind my back "I’ll drop you off--"

"He can ride with us"

Casey spoke again, and Linde stopped to appraise her She looked at him "If you want"

He narrowed his eyes and then nodded slowly "Okay I’ll ride with the close to enuinely wanted to know, and it was enough

The tears burst free

After I recounted the entire story to the police officer, ere led into a roo up It was then that we learned they were aware of Phoebe

Phoebe had stalked two girls and a guy in high school All were connected to her brother so a protocol was put in place when she was accepted to Dulane University She was supposed to have been checked in on twice a day, once by the RA and once by another staff es in behavior, they were to notify her parents

"She can be if she isn’t on the right ht the advisor into our roo her words carefully "She never hurt the other victims, and it’d been a few years since the last incident I really and truly had no idea her connection to Shay" She looked at him "I’m so sorry If I’d known, I never would’ve let Kennedy move to our floor You have to believe lanced to s under his eyes "Just move into the house For now, anyway"

I shared a look with hiain, Kennedy" My RA extended a hand towardto stay there? Or is she going to get kicked out?"

"Uh" She glanced to Shay before clearing her throat and pulling her hand back to her lap "She will be removed from campus Her parents are already on the way She will be suspended for at least a seain?

She nodded, a flash of apology in her eyes "My guess is that they will They’ve gone to extraordinary lengths to have her attend college as a normal student I doubt they’ll stop, even with this incident"

"What if we can prove she came here under false pretenses?"

She and the detective both frowned at hi about?"

He held up his cell It wasn’t the one he’d been holding in his hand before "Kennedy did call o in and out, but I recorded it I heard it She ade under the pretense of watching me"
