"What's he mean?" Alex asked Indigo, quietly, and close enough to her ear that the others wouldn't be able to hear. Indigo huffed through her nose, and turned her head so Danny wouldn't see her lips move.
"Mum had her arrested," she whispered to Alex, her back to the visitors. "For stealing." Alex's reaction was visible - her face was bad at hiding anything. Shock rippled across her face, her mouth wide open. Alex had not been asking about Rachel, when she asked what Danny meant, but it was enough of an answer to digest for now, holy shit! Arrested!
"Alexandria," Cai pleaded, his hands wrapped around the iron bars of the gate. "Please, it's not fair to keep this from us. We need to know where she is, it's important!"
"It's not fair for Danny to threaten me, either!" Indigo snapped, glaring at him and then Danny. She was freaked - what did he mean he knew what she was? Did he really or was he just fucking around? Had Rachel actually told him, the dumb bitch? What would she have to do to him if he did know? Her heart was pounding and her stomach churned with nerves, but she wasn't going to let him see that, not if she could help it. So she sneered at him, instead. "To come to my house, in the dark, with a group of people to outnumber me? Is that fair, Cai? Are you being fair, Danny?"
"Yeah Danny," Alex folded her arms in front of her chest, standing with Indigo. "Threatening younger girls is a dick move, you pig."

Indigo couldn't hide her proud smile. Go Xan!
