Chapter 14: Her Kitchen

The deputy waited at the motel door while Dylan zipped his trash bag shut.

It took him a long time, because he was stalling and we both knew it.

"I'll go," he said, when he finally stood up. "But I'm not going home to be told what to think."

"You don't have to prove anything to me," I said.

"It's not for you."

He took out his old cracked phone and showed me the screen.

"I'll call you and put it in my sweatshirt pocket," he said. "And I'll start the voice memo too, in case the call drops."

"Dylan, that's a lot to ask of yourself."

"She won't tell me. She'll tell a kitchen." His mouth twisted. "She always talks in the kitchen."

Then he walked out between the deputy and the Corolla, and I couldn't follow him a single step.

Pell Street was twenty minutes away.

I parked at the gas station on the corner of Pell and Ridgeway and checked the map on my phone.
