'I can't believe you're just going along with everything like this is a normal Saturday,' Laura complained.
'Because this is a normal Saturday,' Jess replied, slipping on her shoes.
'How can you even say that? Yesterday we lied to the police.'
'Lau, why are you whispering?'
'Because we broke the law. Twice. Do you know lying to a police officer is a federal crime?'
'Is it?' Jess rolled her eyes.
'Of course it is. And you're just carrying on like normal.'
Jess sighed and turned to look at Laura frantically scribbling in her notebook, her eyes glued to the textbook in front of her as if her life depended on it.
'There's no other way to be,' she said gently.
Laura spun around on her desk chair. She'd scrapped her black, frizzy hair into a tight bun, and her face was makeup free. She looked scared, and Jess felt guilty.
'You're taking this so well. I don't know how?' Laura's voice cracked and Jess had to look away.
'You've met my sister. Lying to the cops isn't a new thing for me.'
'Ash regularly gets in trouble?'
'When we were kids, sure. Now, I don't know. Like I said, we don't talk often.'
'Why didn't you tell me about her?'
Jess scrubbed a hand over her face. 'It's complicated.'
'You never really talk about your family,' Laura realised.
'I didn't have the best of upbringings. It's not something I like to talk about. The past is the past and it should stay there.'
'Considering you don't talk, you did exactly what your sister said. Did you even ask her why she couldn't be there when the Deputy arrived?'
'She promised to tell me another time.'
'And you believe her?'
Jess grabbed her coat off the back of the door, struggling to find the words to answer her friend.
'Ash raised me. She's pretty much the only family I have left.'
'That's not an answer,' pointed out Laura.
'I know. And it's not a good explanation, but it's the truth. That's why I did what I did, because Ash has always looked out for me. She wouldn't make us do something unless it was important.'
'I'm not sure I share the faith you have in your sister,' admitted Laura.
Jess embraced her friend. 'You don't have to. Just have faith in me.'
