(Very short chapter...)
Kayla's PoV
I flip my pen in my fingers. I write down the answer and sink into my chair. Staring up at the ceiling, I think of Mum. I fell out with her again last week. It was my fault.

"BORED!" Dad screams. I smile a little and spin around to face the door. Dad bounds up the stairs and lights a cigarette. We haven't had a case for almost two weeks. He lets me have a few puffs. We sit in silence, breathing in the smoke. Breathing's boring...
