Chapter 14 Summary

When Trey gets near the body, she sees that it is Rushborough. As Trey examines the body, Rushborough’s phone rings in his pocket, startling her. She goes to Cal’s house to tell him that she found Rushborough’s body in the mountains. She says that someone bashed his head in and stabbed him. Cal drives Trey up the mountain so she can show him.

When they get to the body, Cal examines it because he knows it may be hours before the police get to it. As they wait for the cops to arrive, Johnny comes down the path. He greets them, then sees Rushborough’s body. He looks genuinely surprised, but Cal knows that he is a skilled liar. Johnny tells Trey to go home, but Cal says that the police are on their way and will need to speak with her since she found the body. Johnny tells Trey not to tell the police anything about the gold. Johnny heads toward Rushborough’s cottage. Trey tells Cal that he must be going to get Cal’s camera. She explains that she took pictures of the men putting gold in the river and showed it to Rushborough. Cal looks surprised, and Trey confronts him for not telling her that he would be there.
