Chapter 35 Summary

As April and Eddie drive towards Midland, they realize that Kal Syed is following them. Eddie asks April what she remembers from the night her mother killed her father. She tells him her story and explains that she never told him before because she was afraid that he would be “disgusted” by the truth and that she would lose him. Eddie points out that Quentin showed up and revealed their pasts to try to turn them against each other. Although he’s arrested Max Shandler for Rhonda Jean’s murder, he is still looking for a suspect for the others.

When they stop for gas, Kal pulls up behind them. He asks why they are going to Midland, and they tell him they have a lead on the Lost Girl’s murder. He decides to follow them to Midland.

When he returns, he tells them that Haller placed the ad about a year after his daughter Shannon disappeared.
