  100. Excerpt

I looked at Violet and realized that she was full-in on this plan and not on my side anymore. Jordyn was winning. She was trying to take Gabe from me (okay, I know he’s not really mine, but I think he likes me) and she’s trying to take Violet from me, too.

I told them that going to Violet’s house wasn’t going to work because number one, my mom never lets me spend the night at anyone else’s house, and number two, Violet’s house is like four miles away from the train yard.

“I guess we’ll just have to go without you,” Jordyn said in a fakey voice that sounded like she felt bad but I knew she didn’t. The only thing worse than going to the train yard with Jordyn was to have her go there without me.

I said I would ask my mom if they could spend the night and Jordyn said she would bring the weapon because we needed to protect ourselves. Violet didn’t say much of anything. I think she knew I was mad at her. At five thirty my mom poked her head inside my room and said that Violet’s mom was there to pick her up. I didn’t say goodbye.

Text Message Exchange Between Jordyn Petit And Violet Crow

Text Message Exchange
Between Jordyn Petit and Violet Crow

Friday, April 13, 2018

Jordyn: I really think she believes this Wither crap.

Violet: Yeah. It’s pretty scary, though

Jordyn: Not you, too? You’re both such dorks

Jordyn: JK. Don’t be mad

Violet: It’s just creepy. Maybe we shouldn’t go

Jordyn: Srsly? Don’t chicken out now. Besides, it will be hilarious

Violet: IDK

Jordyn: Never mind. I’ll ask someone else to go. I thought you were up for it

Violet: I am!

Jordyn: K. CU Sunday

Interview Of Jordyn Petit, Pitch Police Department Officer Bree Wilson, Robert Peale—Attorney For Jordyn Petit

Officer Bree Wilson
Robert Peale—Attorney for Jordyn Petit

OFFICER WILSON: Okay, Jordyn. Your attorney tells me that you have some additional information regarding the incident at the train yard. Is that right?

JORDYN PETIT: Yes.

OFFICER WILSON: It’s very important that you answer my questions thoroughly and honestly. Do you understand?

JORDYN PETIT: Yes.

OFFICER WILSON: Because the assistant district attorney is holding off on your arraignment because you told Mr. Peale here that you had some information that could help the police. Is that right?

ROBERT PEALE: I explained this all to Jordyn. She is well aware that she needs to be completely truthful. She knows that you will have to investigate her claims before she is allowed to go home. Right, Jordyn?

JORDYN PETIT: Right.

OFFICER WILSON: Okay, Jordyn, tell me what happened the night of April 15.

JORDYN PETIT: Where should I start? At Cora’s house or at the train yard?
