Chapter 27 Summary: “Mateo”

Mateo drives to Stefan St. Clair’s house, where a party is being held to celebrate and mourn Boney. Charlie and Mateo discuss the cruelty of Boney’s death, and Charlie suggests that either one of them could have been called instead. Mateo reluctantly admits to himself that he might have gone to protect Autumn. Charlie tells Mateo that he plans to lie low and hope that the police don’t connect him to Boney. He asks Mateo whether there is anything going on between him and Ivy, but Mateo brushes his questions aside.

Outside, Mateo finds Autumn’s boyfriend, Gabe, and identifies him as “the Weasel” who arranged to meet Boney and find the drugs. It is revealed that Mateo recognized Gabe’s voice when he called the number using Boney’s phone.

Chapter 28 Summary: “Cal”

Cal arrives at Lara’s house, where he’s only been once before when her car was in the shop and he gave her a ride home from school. When she invited him in, he had expected something physical to happen between them, but all she did was draw him in her living room. Now, he feels relieved that they never had a physical relationship. Inside, he confronts Lara with the pills and kill list, and accuses her of killing Boney.
