Chapter 27 Summary

Bronwyn texts Mrs. Macauley the Tumblr link and what she, Cooper, and Addy determined was off about the post. Mrs. Macauley forwards the information to Eli then informs Bronwyn that he does not want her involving herself further. Cooper brings over the license plate number of the red Camaro and the owner’s name that he received from Luis’s brother, and he, Addy, Bronwyn and Maeve go over all the information they have collected. Cooper tells the group it could not have been Jake, since Luis confirmed Jake was leading football practice at the time of Simon’s death. He believes Jake must have told someone what Addy told him. The group ponders the evidence, which Bronwyn has written on post-it notes, but has no answers.

Bronwyn traces the license plate and phone number that Cooper passed on to her to a student who attends Eastland, another local high school, and drives there to stake out the parking lot before school. A red Camaro with a new fender pulls into a nearby parking space, and the boy who gets out, Sam Barron, recognizes Bronwyn and nervously asks what she is doing here. Bronwyn tells him that she took down his license plate number when she witnessed the car accident on the day Simon died.
