Good Girl, Bad Blood

This summary section includes “Sunday 2 Days Missing,” and Chapters 10-14.

Pip goes to Nat da Silva’s house and meets Nat’s new tattooed boyfriend, Luke. He looks on the rough side, and Pip is slightly intimidated by him. Despite his off-putting appearance, Luke leads Pip inside to where Nat is eating breakfast. Nat is still angry with Pip over issues related to Pip’s first investigation. Initially, she doesn’t want to talk but agrees when she learns that Jamie is missing. Nat spoke to Jamie briefly at the memorial. He walked away after mentioning that he’d seen someone he knew. Nat didn’t get together afterward with Jamie that night. She denies that they’ve been calling or texting frequently, so Pip infers that Jamie has been in contact with someone else lately.

Shortly after Pip leaves Nat’s house, she receives two messages from neighbors who saw the Missing poster. Stanley Forbes has sent her multiple pictures from the memorial, and Gail Yardley shows Pip a photo of the crowd. Everyone except Jamie is watching the lanterns for Andie and Sal rising skyward. He’s staring off at something else. His facial expression indicates that he might be worried about something.
