Chapter 18 Summary: “Now”
In the present, Jena panics as the police officer approaches, and Brooke switches seats with her so it looks like she was driving. The officer comes to the window and demands to know why they were speeding. Jena and Brooke try to explain about the Bronco tailing them, but the cop is skeptical. Brooke gives her full name and waits for the cop to recognize it, but it doesn’t help; in fact, the officer is critical because she believes that the Goodwins represent a class of people who believe they’re above the law.
Brooke attempts to show her call log to back up her story, but she finds that all this missed calls have been wiped. The cop tells Brooke that her license will be suspended and takes her license and registration back to the cruiser to call in the incident. Suddenly, the Bronco reappears and rams the police cruiser, knocking the officer unconscious and damaging all the cars. A masked man steps out of the Bronco, and Jena and Brooke flee into the woods.
Chapter 19 Summary: “Before”
The narrative returns to Brooke’s lake house six months prior. Jena, Felix, Brooke, and Dylan sit around the firepit, drinking Malibu.
