Ree's asking questions. Essie and I used the the "Early Morning Quidditch" alibi, so please don't say that. Or do, and we'll just all confess to a giant underground sophomore Quidditch fight club or something, instead. At least that would confuse them into submission.

I don't really think she bought it, but it's not like she can prove otherwise.

[...] We're not telling anyone else about this. Right?

The story will fall apart. It's going to become clear that a lot of us were out of our cabins that night, and our last defence is that no one outside of the group knows the truth.

We need to wait until this blows over and we know they've given up trying to catch someone for being out of their cabins. After we have some distance, then [...] I promise, I'll initiate a safe plan to get the authorities the information.

[...]



ok.

i think ree knows, though.

If she figures out exactly what we've done, it'll be up to her to decide if she wants to make things complicated for Essie, Micah, Jeffy, Solo, etc. etc. etc. But I'm not going to put them in the line of fire.

[...] i don't want to do that either. you know that. right??

Cole/Calvin

[evercreep]

I do. I know you want to help people, and Ree wants to keep order and be honest, but there are consequences. I have to protect my friends.

[...] it's not just 'people'. ennis is my friend too. and he used to go out there all the time. alone. but i'm not allowed to say anything to him.

Cole/Calvin

[evercreep]

I don't know how to stop Ennis from doing the things he does. What if this makes him want to go out and see for himself?

Cole/Calvin

[colemoss]

i don't know if he goes anymore. he doesn't talk about it as much. but i'm not sure. maybe he's keeping secrets too. like we are. [...] but i think if i told him the truth and i asked him not to go, he wouldn't go. so it's hard. lying to him is hard.

Cole/Calvin

[evercreep]

Obviously you want to let him know, and you'll clearly be miserable if I tell you not to. And I can't and won't force you to not do what you want. Can you trust him not to tell anyone?

Cole/Calvin

[colemoss]

[...] yeah. i would be. i think.

i trust en. like i trust you and micah. i don't think he'd say anything if i asked him not to. and i won't tell him who went. just that we went and what happened. so he knows.

Cole/Calvin

[evercreep]

Then I'm trusting you. You can warn him, but please ask him not to share it with anyone else. A lot of people are depending on keeping this quiet.

Cole/Calvin

[colemoss]

thanks, calvin. i won't let you down. i promise.
