…
Kassy moved the coin between her fingers.
"Yes," she exclaimed to herself, she had mastered the coin trick Jonathan had taught her, now onto the card trick that Cameron had showed her, that afternoon when he and Jonathan had come to visit her.
She was shuffling the cards in her hands, when the door opened again. Kassy watched as a woman with long brown hair and sparkling blue eyes, much like hers, sat down at the table across from her.
"Hey, sis," the mystery woman said, with a smile, "It's nice to finally meet you."
"What are you doing here?" Kassy asked, as she sat down at the table.
"Kassy, we are family, I can't come visit my newly discovered sister," mystery woman asked, looking slightly hurt.
"We're only half sisters, and I'm sorry, but when our mother shoots my cousin in front of me, and threatens to kill him if I don't give her what she wants, oh, I don't know, I'm really not feeling the whole warm and fuzzy family connection, besides, you don't really care about me, you just care about getting your hands on the diamond," Kassy said, a tiny smirk on her face, as she stared at the mystery woman, from across the table.
"Kassy, I know you don't believe me, and Cameron and Jonathan probably told you not to trust me," mystery woman said, and she reached across the table, placing her hand atop her sister's, "but I really do care about you, I've never had a sister before."
Just then, the guard came in, saying that visiting time was up, and to take Kassy back to her cell.
"I'll come back to see you again, if you like," mystery woman said, as she gave Kassy a little smile, before she turned around and left the room.
The guard tightened the handcuffs around Kassy's wrists, and took her back to her cell.
…
"Ten years, Kassy can't spend ten years in prison," Jonathan said, as he paced back and forth across the Archive.
"Hey, hey, Johnny, we'll figure this out, Kay's working on it," Cameron told his brother, in his usual optimistic 'everything will work out' voice, and Jonathan smiled at his brother, even after everything, Cameron was still able to look on the bright side, and he truly believed that everything would work out.
Kay arrived, a few minutes later, and Cameron greeted her.
"Kay, please tell me you have good news?" Jonathan asked.
Cameron could tell from Kay's expression that it wasn't good news, and he grabbed her hand, lightly squeezing it, silently telling her that it was okay.
Kay shook her head, "I'm sorry, but I talked to Kassy's lawyer, and it seems that the owner of the Himalayan Pink Diamond, a private collector of rare jewels, is good friends with the judge, and when he thought that Kassy could help the FBI recover the diamond, he was willing to go easy on her, work something out...but now, he's saying that this was all just a plan to get the FBI to let their guard down, and that Kassy knew all along that the diamond was still in the museum.
"Kay, there's no way that Kassy was working with her mother, I mean, she was just as surprised as we were when her mother showed up at the museum, and we were with her when she realized that the diamond was still in the museum, she didn't know, Kay," Cameron said, looking up at Kay with pleading blue eyes, silently asking her to believe him, to trust him.
"And I believe you, Cameron," Kay said, without hesitation.
Jonathan flashed Cameron a surprised look, but Cameron just smiled, as he walked up to Kay and wrapped his arms around her in a hug.
"So, now what," he asked.
"We need to find the Himalayan Pink Diamond," Kay answered.
"What, Kay, that...that's impossible, Kassy's mother is probably long gone, along with the diamond."
"Did the Amazing Cameron Black just say that something's impossible," Kay said, gasping in mock disbelieve.
"Okay, ha ha ha, very funny," Cameron said, as he walked over to the couch and picked up one of the small, soft pillows.
"Cameron, don't you…"
