Three Times Lucky Chapter 28 Summary

Didn't See It Coming

  • They wait out the rest of the storm at Mr. Jesse's house and Mo cuddles up to Miss Lana. She's so glad that everyone she loves is safe.
  • Detective Starr finds a metal box underneath the floorboards. It's the loot from Slate's bank robbery. Apparently Mr. Jesse and Dolph Andrews were both Slate's accomplices in the bank robbery, and Slate went after them for the money after he got out of jail.
  • The detective is pretty upset to hear that Marla was in cahoots with the rest of the bad guys. He also shows the Colonel some old newspaper clippings from Slate's trial—which makes the Colonel super upset.
  • Apparently he used to be a lawyer. Not only that, but the Colonel was the lawyer who represented Robert Slate in court and got him a light sentence.
