I knew it, no.. I could have known it. It is Mona, of course she would use my information. This just isn't the way I expected her to use it.
The way she looked at me, the way she soaked in all the information that I answered her questions with. She exactly knows now how I had killed Wilden. Or how I would said to the cops that I had killed him.
She already knew all the information from the cops, at least I think she did. She is –or was A.
She helped me connecting all the information; the information about the dead body, how and where he was shot, about the police car, the gun, the heels.. Everything seemed to fall in place.
I was ready to confess.. To lie. But then Caleb busted me and the next minute I got a text that Mona had confessed of killing Wilden.
Of course I was relieved at first, but then I realized that Mona had confessed.
Mona as in A, or Mona as in my former best friend?
I mean I don't trust her at all, even though I did a long time ago. I now see her as A, the person that threatened us all the time, that blackmailed us, that did so many horrible things.. Like driving into Emily's house, or.. Setting up my mom as a murder suspect. At the begin of the evening she even said herself that she had done it.
But If I look at her that way, things just don't make any sense. Why would she first set my mother up, to go confess the murder after?
I look at the clock, ten past twelve. It was almost 4 hours ago since Mona left my house, 3 hours since I got the text . I heard Caleb sleeping next to me. He now wants to stay with me all the time, I hadn't been alone for a minute since he knew what I was up to. Even when I got to pee he stood in front of the bathroom door, I mean, come on..
But on the other hand it felt really safe to have him around all the time. He would protect me, no matter what.
I couldn't sleep, my head was still spinning. Why? .. It was the question that came slipping through my head every single minute.
I looked over the facts once again before I silently got up out of bed and walked downstairs to get a glass of water. I wouldn't go to school tomorrow anyway, so there was no point in sleeping right now.
I shove the glass from my left to my right hand, again and again.
Mona had been in Radley before, I mean, she would obviously go there again, instead of going to jail.
She probably was thought to be gone mad again.
Wait.. Radley?
And suddenly I had an idea. Radley, the place where so many mad people stay, but also where they had already found so many things that helped them on their way to finding A. To finding Red Coat.
Maybe that was what Mona was up to, finding Red Coat.. Getting in touch with Red Coat. Maybe she wanted to tell her something, maybe she needed help, maybe she finally got into trouble with her stupid and mad threats to us. I was so shocked about my Spencer-like idea that my brain shut off any other ideas, or thoughts.. So Red Coat had to wait.
First I had to tell the girls about Mona.
I ran upstairs, not caring about my thirst anymore, grabbed my phone and ignored Caleb who just woke up and asked what I was doing.
For the first time in my life I texted so fast that my thumbs were hurting after.
''S.O.S. I know what Mona is up to. Meet me before school . xo Hanna''
