A Double Truth

Chapter 6

When they arrive at their flat, Skye plops down onto the couch. "Piper, Connor died because of the drug I sold to him. Camille blamed me for his death. Camille might've still held a grudge on me because of it."

The look of realization dawned on Piper. "You don't think..."

"Yes, I do! I have to talk to the authorities and tell them the truth." Skye is about to get up.

"Wait, Skye! We need evidence!"

"You're right. We need to go back to Charlene's house. She seems to have some interesting things on that desk of hers about Connor."

They arrive at Charlene's house, ready to burst into the door when they realize that it's locked.

"How...?" Piper asks.

"It means that either Charlene is home or that someone is stopping us from getting more information."

"I hope she's home!"

Skye rings the doorbell multiple of times before she gives up. "She's not home," Skye sighs, defeated.

Just as they are about to turn around and head back, they hear the door open. "Skye! Piper! I'm so glad you guys are here!" Charlene ushers them into her house and closes the door quickly.

"Charlene! What happened?" Piper asks.

"I tell you, but first come sit here and watch this video. It'll explain everything."

Charlene plays the video. At first, the video is a little blurry, but when it focuses, Skye makes out the window of Camille's room. The camera zooms in a little. 

Inside of Camille's room, the light turns on, revealing Camille at her door, wearing a long sleeved t-shirt. "Just one more touch," Camille says as she puts something on her nightstand. After that, the lights in her room are turned off. All Skye, Piper, and Charlene could make out were shuffling sounds and a scream. The video ended there.

"I've been suspecting something strange about Camille ever since the school term started. One time, I rang her doorbell to confront her, but she kept dodging my questions and, eventually, I gave up. What I thought was really strange, though, was that she didn't even try to hide it from me. I guess she was expecting me to not tell anyone because I'm too much of a rebel. Anyway, I planted the camera near her bedroom window so that I could show you about her plan. I tried telling you as soon as possible but, I had to wait until the area cleared out a bit so I wouldn't rouse suspicion. I hid my laptop with the videos using my clothes and I planned to go to your flat to tell you, but I realized that you were probably doing a little investigation of your own. So, I waited here for you to find me."

"Skye! You were right all along!" Piper exclaimed, "We have to tell the police!"

"I got some footage of what she did before too," Charlene says.

"Wow, who would've thought that the rebel would become the detective," Skye muses, "Come on, let's go to the authorities to set things right. Charlene, you come too. You're the one who figured to out anyways."

They pile into Piper's car and drive to the police station. On the way there, Piper remembers that she had given one of her sleeping pills to Camille.

"That's probably why you passed out Skye! She must have slipped it in the vodka she knew you would drink." Piper says, feeling confident.

Once they arrive, everyone jumps out of the car.

"There's no going back now." Piper mutters under her breath.
