If she did, she could find herself in a three on one situation. Lying is an option. It's clear Amy won't buy it, but the other two might. Maybe they'd talk her down. But the idea doesn't much appeal to Coco. Being outed so quickly, it was like a weight off her shoulders. Now she wouldn't have to pretend.
She clenches her jaw at the mention of Cassie's name, as memories of the years of nothingness she experienced when Nikki stopped talking to her due to Cassie's beatings come flooding back. If Amy followed through on her threat to bring her here, she could finally have her revenge. But now the prospect is realistically within grasp, the hate and anger Coco has toward Cassie evaporates, and fear takes its place. Perhaps Cassie would be a matter best left for another time.
In an effort to cover any potential loss of composure, Coco narrows her eyes and grins slyly. "Amy... Amelia... you're right. I'm not Nikki. I'm who she talks to sometimes, I'm sure you're very familiar. I sure am familiar with you, I've seen a lot from behind Nikki's eyes."
With Amy having released the pressure on her arm somewhat, Coco could probably free herself, but she opts not to. "You're hurting me, Amelia. Is that any way to thank me for saving Nikki's life the night she jumped off that cliff and almost killed us? Maybe if you followed through on some of those lies you fed her, that would have never happened." Coco laughs. "But it's thanks to that night that I learned how to control this body, so maybe I should be thanking you."
