Part 3, Chapters 15-16 Summary

Faith helps Darren clean the blood from his truck and he notes she has a lot of knowledge about bloodstains. Faith asks Darren if he likes Randie and tells him she has never met a Ranger in person. Darren repairs the shattered front door with boxes and tape. Faith prepares him food and explains why her mother Mary is in jail. Lil’ Joe, light-skinned like Faith, was unfaithful to Mary with Missy Dale and she confronted him one day while he was in the tub. Mary threatened to shoot or electrocute him. Mary shot him in the back and is now in prison. Faith had to clean up the crime scene. Lil’ Joe used to patronize the icehouse before it was infiltrated with ABT. After the murder, Faith dropped out of Wiley College where she was studying public relations. She now lives with Geneva. Faith feels her mother ruined her life as she was publicly shamed after her father’s death. Faith never knew Missy personally, although they were the same age. Geneva will be the only family member at Faith’s wedding to Rodney. Faith says Geneva closed the café after Lil’ Joe’s death, something she had never done. Faith washes and presses Darren’s clothes.
