Things Not Seen Chapter 24 Summary

First Class Work

  • The next day, Alicia and Bobby chat online about his conversation with Sheila. Alicia thinks that he should tell his dad, but he tells her that he promised he wouldn't tell anyone.
  • That's when Alicia points something out: He can tell their dads that the blanket is definitely the cause, but refuse to reveal the source. That seems reasonable.
  • He calls his dad at work, and gets the third degree from him. It's obvious that his dad wants as much information as possible, but Bobby just tells him that he can't do that; he's a man of his word.
  • And that's when his dad tells him that he's proud and that Bobby has done some "first-class work."
