Statement Quote by Rachel Hawkins
““Mrs. Casnoff made me write a statement to the Council a few weeks after it happened. Everything's in there." "I read that. And neither I,nor the rest of the Council, believe it contains the entire truth." I made a sound that I'd like to say was a cry of indignant, but it was actually closer to a bleat. Probably because Dad was right: that stupid statement didn't even begin to touch the whole truth. "Your entanglement with Archer Cross-" "We were never entangled ," I spluttered.””
