All the Colors of the Dark

When Patch is released from prison, Saint picks him up and takes him back to Monta Clare. Though she wrote him often, he never wrote back or let her come to see him in prison. In the car, he thanks her for the letters she wrote the judge, which helped him get a lesser sentence and stay in Missouri close to home.

He moves back into his old house and tries to settle into his life, seeing Sammy and Saint often. One day, he sees a little girl stealing a candy bar. She curses at him, but he helps her perfect her technique. Outside the store, he sees Misty, shocked.

Saint gets forensic techs to search the Tooms’s house, using the newfound technique of DNA in hopes of finding Grace. After they leave, she and Patch walk through the house. He stands in the cellar and tells Saint he is sure that he was never here and neither was Grace.

Misty and Patch have dinner and catch up. She tells him her father died and she left college and moved home. She also tells him that she knows what her father did, forcing Patch to break up with Misty.
