Summary

Aza has not yet told Daisy about the money, so she texts her and they agree to meet at Applebee's that night. Aza looks over the notes from Russell Pickett's phone and wonders about one in particular that says “The jogger's mouth” (116). Later, in the Applebee's parking lot, she retrieves her father's phone from the trunk where she keeps it and flips through his photographs.
