Chapter 6

James was the first to react. He pointed at my nose and shouted: 

“You’re crazy! Sophia! Emily can’t even bear to dissect a frog – how could she possibly kill someone!” 

“Besides, she was only seven years old then. She and my sister Cleo were good friends. What reason would she have to kill Cleo! 

“You’re lying, yes… you must be lying… you’re just jealous of Emily! You’re jealous of her! Because I chose her, not you!” 

I found James utterly ridiculous, so I simply threw the evidence up on the big screen. 

“On April 23rd, you posted missing person notices everywhere looking for Cleo.” 

“On April 24th, the orphanage saw the notice, immediately contacted you, and told Cleo about it.”
