It wasn't like she was an expert yet, but between the talk with the psychologist and the stuff she and Danny were doing lately, she'd gotten used to the gun at least. Even so, she kept the damn thing locked up in the box, just like she'd promised Harley she would, and it would stay there until Danny told her she was allowed to carry it or until she was actually licensed or however it worked on the island. Generally, Kate was all about breaking rules, but not when it came to something like this. Something that could get people killed.

So the gun was still in her closet, locked in the box as she lounged out in front of her hut. She was going over the applications for her new roommate, papers spread out around her. Chang was lying nearby in the shade and although she was occasionally asking him for his opinion, he didn't seem to be all that concerned or interested in who she picked.

"If you're going to be like that, I'm just gonna pick the person who likes dogs the least," she threatened.

Chang didn't seem to care.

There were six dark bruised patches covering her head and her face and her ribs as if she had been struck by something. There was one long red scrape against her cheek as if bark had been resting against it. There was one terrible thought of a dark haired little girl standing over her body dropping something on her. And there was one teenage girl unsure what to do.

Coraline Jones did not trust the police. She loved Danny and liked a lot of the police but she did not in fact trust them. When you went to the police they didn't do anything, they thought you were lying and just a kid and maybe a little jealous. They never believed you. And she needed someone to believe her. But the thing was she didn't know who to tell.

She could tell Bill but what if she hurt him, Bill was all the family she had left and she couldn't lose him. She could tell Johnny but he'd probably ask if she was um, sure and Coraline wasn't. She could tell Percy but things were really weird with him and she couldn't face him at the moment. She could tell Danny, she should tell Danny but he wouldn't believe her and she couldn't find him anyway. She didn't know what to do.

Head ducked down in thought, Coraline looked up spotting Kate and wincing at the tug at her ribs as she lifted her hand in a soft wave. Maybe she could tell Kate.
