Judy asked, "Meanwhile, do you believe in evil, anyway?"
"Of course," Mary answered. "Evil exists in the world. Look at serial killers."
Anthony nodded. "And history. Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot."
Judy scoffed. "But that's people. Evil resides in people. Anyone, given the right circumstances, is capable of evil. Evil is within us. That's what's so scary about it."
Mary turned around. "You really think that? You're capable of evil?"
"Yes. I'm human, and part of being human is evil, or at least the potential for it. Why, what do you think Mare?"
All of them fell suddenly silent, and Mary sensed they were waiting for her answer. The car came to rest at a stoplight, bathing them in blood-red.
"I hope you're wrong," she said, in the dark light.
