Kimberley Prescott:
There's just the two of us now, just you and I. Kimberley Prescott: You've arranged all this very cleverly. I don't know where you got your information, but I know what you're after. I just hope you realize what a gamble you're taking. You think you can keep this up for a few days, just so that no one will interfere when you help your sister dispose of her jewelry, isn't that it?
