"Come on, Car. Just hear her out." I shook my head at Will, stubbornly.

"Don't tell her this, but she's never usually wrong and we need to be a team about this anyway. You can't let anyone you know influence the case." He continued.

"Okay then, I'm coming back in. Just give me a second first." Will nodded and walked back into the room, leaving me.

As he walked away I noticed blood staining the left side of the back of his shirt. Ugh, that meant he hadn't changed his shirt after he got pushed into the wall of blood while we were discussing Evangeline Prontes' escape.

I was still sitting on the floor, with my back leaning against the wall.

I refused to believe it Letti can't be responsible for the murders. She's a Proletarian. How would I even explain it to Nadia, that her best friend is the enemy.

And Reece. Reece would be heartbroken if he knew, that he could never see Letti again. Because no matter how much he denies it, he really likes the girl.

I pushed myself off the ground and dusted myself, before going back into the room.

"Are you done with your hissy fit now, Carter." Ellie asked clearly mocking me. I ignored her and laid down on my bed.

She threw a picture down next to me and it was Letti smiling, with her hair down and there was a small silhouette on the wall. That was probably Nadia.

"This girl-" She started.

"Damn, Ellie! Why didn't you show us the picture before?! I'd gladly go and interrogate her." Will said, looking excited at the picture.

Ellie took an empty plastic bottle off my bedside table and hit Will over the head with it.

"Because this isn't a booty call for you. This is a new lead." Ellie said, putting the bottle down, while Will rubbed his head, grumbling.

Ellie began talking again, but by now it was probably only Aidan who was actually listening.

I watched as Will raised his fingers slightly and a bit of dirt (so small you could only see it if you were paying close attention) rose up near Ellie's nose. She began to sneeze midway through sentence. Once. Twice. Thrice.

"Will! You dick, stop that!"

"You shouldn't have hit me with the bottle." Will said, sticking his tongue out and refusing to put his finger down.

While still sneezing, Ellie lifted up a hand.

"What did you just do?!" Demanded Will, angrily.

"You'll have to stop what you're doing now, if you want to find out. But I can promise you that your room won't look pretty, if you don't stop." Ellie said smugly.

"Bitch." Will said and instead of lowering his finger, he lifted his entire arm and started chanting.

Dirt started to pour out of Ellie's mouth, as she chocked but still Will continued.

"Guys! This is my room you're messing up!" I exclaimed, in horror at the pile of dirt forming on my floor.

"Will! Will! Will, stop it. You're hurting her. Will!" Aidan shouted at him hut Will ignored him and satisfaction took over his face.
