Egg the Halls

“I’m not getting my niece in trouble with the law.”


This all seemed so very easy. Just a family disagreement that got carried away. Kiko stared at them as they quibbled now, Cat calling Ben a shitty parent, Justine pissed everyone was talking about her around her. The table even got brought up. But Mother was still dead, and Justine had only admitted to the vandalism.


“What about Kiko?” asked Dom over the noise. The room fell silent.


“What about Kiko?” asked Christian.


“Someone tried to poison me,” said Kiko. “Then threw a brick at me, but hit Chad.”


Justine shook her head, little wry smile on her face.


“I amsmart,” she said. “I’d never try to kill anyone.”


“You telling the truth?” asked Ben, frowning. She nodded.


“Yes. I’m responsible for the egging and paintballing, nothing else.”
