Chapter 11
Summary
- The chapter begins with the protagonist, Leah, coming home to find a detective named Kyle waiting for her.
- Kyle provides an update on their ongoing investigation - they are looking for a person named Emmy, but so far they’ve found nothing.
- Kyle asks Leah about her home, which is solely in her name, as Emmy had no credit history.
- They discuss a previous apartment in Boston, which was Emmy's, not Leah's. Kyle managed to find the previous renter, Amelia Kent, who had lived there with her boyfriend Vince before they broke up and she moved out.
- It's suggested that Emmy might have sublet from Vince afterwards, but there is no record of her.
- Kyle then shifts the conversation to Leah’s experiences with a man named Davis Cobb, who had been harassing her at work. Leah shares that Cobb had made inappropriate advances and comments towards her but never got physical.
- Kyle suggests Cobb might have been jealous of Leah’s perceived relationship with her boss, Mitch Sheldon, although Leah insists there was nothing between them.
- Leah also mentions a lead she’s found about a place called the Break Mountain Inn, where she believes Emmy might have worked, though Kyle seems dismissive of the information.
- Kyle ends their conversation warning Leah about her safety, reflecting on a woman named Bethany Jarvitz who lived all alone and was recently assaulted in her home. The main suspect is Cobb, and Bethan resembles Leah.
- After Kyle leaves, Leah looks up Bethany online and gets in touch with the hospital in an attempt to learn more about her.
