Memories From a Dead Girl
Four
Since no one could see me, I slipped into the police car that held Austin. He was staring out the window, not saying a word. When they got to the police station, they hauled him into a cell, and he stumbled.
I followed.
The cell slid shut behind me and I was left alone with him.
It was my understanding that when you took someone's life, you talked about it, bragged about it, even. But he didn't. He just sat on the cot in the corner of the cell, eyes closed and humming.
My eyes widened at his action because I knew something others didn't.
Austin only hummed when he was afraid.
