from: Mysteries of Aurora
“Easy for you to say,” Freya responded.
She closed her eyes and spun around. “But I won’t dwell on it.” She opened her
eyes and looked into Dana’s with determination. “Wait.”
Freya then turned again and picked
up the sketch.
Excerpt
from: Spider Quinn
“I hope you’ll be able to prove that Anders was being
irresponsible,” she said.
“I’m sure that we will, Mrs. Morgendorffer,” Jane
said.
“OK, Samara said to fast forward,” Daria said as
she handled the remote. “But she didn’t say how far.”
Daria soon found footage. She turned to Jane. “I’m
sure that you’re the only one here that has seen her.”
“I have too,” Brittany piped up.
“You too?” Daria asked.
“Yes. She carried me home one night, in early
December,” Brittany said.
“OK,” Daria said. There was something, careful, about
how Brittany said that. She shook her head. That wasn’t what she wanted to
think about, but she did recall that one of the early newspaper articles
mentioned a cheerleader being carried by SpiderGirl one night. “So, you’ll be
able to tell as well?”
“Yes,” Brittany answered.
“That will help with the proof,” Daria said. “OK,
we’re at the beginning of the interview.”
Quinn wasn’t surprised that Brittany had spoken up.
‘She knows how to keep our secret,’ she thought.
She watched the interview again.
“Pause!” Jane said.
“Almost right away,” Daria said as she paused.
“She’s too rigid. SpiderGirl’s more animated that that!”
Jane explained.
‘She’s right,’ Quinn thought.
“Like, she moves about more,” Brittany added.
“That’s not proof in of itself,” Daria said.
“Exactly, we can’t just go with, she’s too stiff,”
Quinn added/
Daria pressed play again.
She took notes and Jane sketched as she commented
on some things the fake SpiderGirl said in response to Ander’s questions.
They went through it twice; the second time as
Daria copied it, using an older VCR that she had found in the attic.
