Three Times Lucky Chapter 13 Summary

Don't Call Me Baby

  • Miss Lana gets into the Thunderbird and starts driving… and it's terrible. She is the worst driver of all time and Mo actually fears for her life.
  • She finally reaches Mr. Jesse's driveway and a bunch of people jump out of the way. Then they deliver all the lunches and head over to Miss Rose's house.
  • They pick up Dale and Miss Rose and head back over to Mr. Jesse's place, with Dale freaking out in the backseat because he's positive that he's going to jail forever.
  • Detective Starr asks him questions about how he stole the boat and what Mr. Jesse said when Dale returned it.
  • At first Dale claims that the whole interaction was nice, but then he caves and tells the truth, which is that Mr. Jesse called him and his father trash. Some harsh words were exchanged.
  • Detective Starr keeps asking Dale who was with him because they found adult footprints, but it turns out that this is explained by the fact that Dale was wearing Lavender's shoes when he went out there.
  • Then Detective Starr goes to cuff Dale. Oh no…
  • But Detective Starr explains that he doesn't actually believe Dale is the killer. He thinks that the killer is watching the investigation, though, and will get sloppy if he believes the police already have a suspect. Hence the cuffs.
  • Dale is scared, but he holds out his hands and agrees to be fake-arrested.
