Yeah, maybe. I don't know. It's still in character for her as we see later. remember she isn't as bothered about David as Rachel is, and she tries to justify her giving the box away as soon as she realizes something good is coming out of it. Then again, those two things were done as an alternative to killing. Honestly I just don't know.

Well, whether or not it was fresh in her mind is kind of beside the point, because most of what they discuss in the books isn't so much what they happen to be thinking about at the moment (or about a quarter of each Marco book would be about girls, lol), but rather whatever is relevant to the plot of the book.  Like, if they have a nightmare, then they'll mention it because it just happened.  Or if they're thinking about something that's related to what's going on in the book, they mention those thoughts because they're relevant.

The controller that Cassie may or may not have killed in the first book was no longer relevant by the fourth.  So, although it may still have been on her mind, it isn't mentioned.  Because there's no reason to 'bring it up.'

And, if she did kill the guy, I think it would almost definitely have been in the heat of battle.  For all her hypocrisy, I can't imagine her killing anyone in cold blood, even if she had no other choice.

All have have to say is that I have Cassie when to the Yeerk pool armed with horse morph. Now I know a horse can kill a man, but still....:P
And based on KA's style, Cassie wouldn't have to have done it to not say what happened: two books laters Tobias wouldn't describe what happened to a Hork-Bajir punished by Visser Three.


One last thing on a closer look at book 1: In the pool Cassie brought in by the cop, but was handed over to the line guards, Hork-Bajir, until she is released, than goes straight to morph, and catches up to Jake, and they make their way out.
The way it's written, there is no time she could have killed the guy

Unless you want to wager that she managed to get his gun before being kept in line.
I wouldn't

It would have been a lose end if he hadn't been killed someway or another, otherwise you'd have to change the next book: #2 The Raid
It had to be mentioned that the risk of their identity was no longer at stake, and Cassie, being the one he picked out, happened to be the one monitoring that threat win the fighting broke, and he was likely injured in the mayhem and eaten by a taxxon. *shrug* Or something
Which still would be something a young girl wouldn't wanna talk about coming out of her first conflict

I think it was a little too early for Cassie's cold and manipulative "Do whatever it takes to survive" side to come out. She was still a scared kid with a black and white view of the world. I don't think in the first book she'd have it in her to kill someone, she didn't even have it in her to get a decent battle morph XD So my vote is that she was somehow indirectly responsible for the cop's death.

Part of me wonders maybe if she did kill him, and it mentally scarred her into adopting a black and white view of the world.

All of the Anis had that black and white view in the beginning (especially Jake), as most kids their age did. The exception might have been Marco. Even back then he was more of a realist compared to the rest of his crew

My best guess is that she maybe she "let him" die.  In Cassie's mind, that could have probably been just as bad as killing him.

Though, I think it's consistent with Cassie's character that, even if there was no way to save him, she would have just been traumatized by seeing him die period and wouldn't have wanted to talk about it.
