Chapter Summaries & Analyses
On Sunday, Ruby’s parents think she’s spending the night with Alexis, and they’re relieved she has a friend. As the SAR speeds down the road, Alexis whispers to Ruby that the guy they identified was arrested. Nick whispers that their picture is in the paper. Ruby worries they have the wrong guy: Growing pot is completely different from murder.
Alexis tells them about Miranda being an oogle. They speculate why Miranda was in the park in the first place. Ruby thinks maybe she was stealing weed. Alexis tells them she saw the man with two dogs arguing with a young unhoused girl, and Ruby remembers the red dog leash and the red furrow around Miranda’s throat.
Nick says they should talk to the detective, but Ruby tried that already. They could try following the man. Alexis is hesitant but Nick and Ruby agree they’ll go. If the cops are wrong, they have to do something before this man finds another victim.
The phone ringing wakes Alexis. She asks if it’s her mom, but it’s Bran. She tells him about finding the lost hiker and reflects on how it felt to save someone. It was a complete contrast from Miranda Wyatt. Alexis has to find her mom, but she doesn’t tell this to Bran.
