Cassie Kills a cop.
« on: January 02, 2012, 04:02:54 PM »
I had no idea this was in the first book until it was pointed out to me

Quote
And Cassie had gotten away clean. It had been the suspicious Controller policeman who had grabbed her. He was the only Controller to know her name, where she lived, and that she had been spying on The Sharing.


Cassie said we didn't have to worry about him anymore. She didn't want to talk about what had happened to him.
----The Invasion, Chapter Twenty-Seven


That's some pretty deeply implied teenage murder.

Yes, it was glossed over pretty well but there's not a lot of wiggle roo for that guy surviving. If he survived, the series would be very short or very different. The first book was really dark. Probably one of the top five darkest books.

well, Cassie could have somehow gotten the yeerk out and told the cop not to talk to anyone about it. But yeah, the chance of him surviving isn't that good

If he wasn't killed, how did they get him out? Did he go homeless? This was before the Chee could arrange him a new identity as a Canadian Farmer.

I'd say he's toast.  Cassie will do whatever she needs to and justify it to herself later.

I assumed he was killed in all of the chaos. Cassie didn't want to talk about what happened to him, implying he WAS killed, but by something out of her control, like maybe getting eaten by a Taxxon who had become too eager at his wounded body. Remember, that first fight in the Yeerk pool was anarchy. Anything could have happened.

The wya it was said though, implies cassie had something to do with it. I think if he was just killed on the crossfire she would have said, "Visser Three got him."

But i'm not sure if Cassie would lie. So maybe he was killed in the chaos, but it was Cassie who somehow caused it. Like maybe she accidently pushed him in front of a taxxon who ate him. So then he was killed, and being aten by a taxxon isnt the best death, so Cassie didn't want to talk about.

Eh, keep in mind this is Cassie we're talking about.  She gets emotionally scarred pretty easily.  So the guy could have just been killed in front of her and she still wouldn't want to talk about it.

Not to say that it's completely out of the question that she killed him.  As Weathel already pointed out, she's not above doing whatever is necessary, she just angsts about it more than the others do.

Oh yeah, good point. Cassie is a bit too emotional. Yeah, I think that if the book gave a bit more detail about how she really felt, it'll be possible to tell if she really killed him or not

Not to say that 'angst' and 'not talking about something' are mutually exclusive, but wouldn't she have mentioned it to the reader at least in one of her narrated books? It feels kind of off that she'd never mention that particular incident again, yet would dwell on the moral qualms of other questionable things she's done that weren't as bad as the assumption that she killed this 'troller. If she did kill him, I doubt it was in cold-blood and like somebody else mentioned it was probably done in the chaos of a battle where it's easier to distance yourself emotionally.

Her first book was two weeks after the incident, so I guess it just wasn't fresh in her mind anymore.

This was very early in the series, they were still innocent 13-year-olds and at that point it was literally the worst thing she has ever done (assumptions here of course). 2 weeks isn't nearly enough time for it to stop being 'fresh in her mind.'
