Chapter 21 Summary

Kiara and Trevor are stuck in the apartment as reporters surround it, although they occasionally leave via the back exit. One night Marsha arrives to tell Kiara of recent developments: photos have surfaced of a police chief attending one of the parties at which Kiara was present. Subsequently, two additional chiefs have resigned just after being appointed. Marsha explains that the current acting chief of police has called a meeting and asked them to attend. Marsha believes they should. Kiara agrees when Marsha says doing so may help Marcus.

In the meeting, Acting Chief Talbot makes it clear that she is in favor of harsh punishment for Marcus. Marsha counters her threats by insisting she will make sure higher authorities hold Talbot accountable. Talbot responds by revealing that she is aware Kiara has been housing Trevor and that Child Protective Services can be notified.

Chapter 22 Summary

Kiara returns home to find that Trevor has been beaten up. She cleans the blood from him and rubs cream on his wounds. She asks Tony to bring over a first-aid kit, and he does. Kiara thinks about how, though she barely knows him, Tony would do anything for her.
