This Is Our Story

Kate approaches Mr. Stone and tries to convince him of Shep’s innocence. She doesn’t tell him about her personal connection to Shep but instead says she has a “gut feeling” (255). Stone isn’t buying it. He’s also upset to learn that someone leaked to the media the fact that Lindsey is the person who pointed a finger at Shep. Since Kate told Shep this, it’s possible that this is how the news got out.

Kate continues her sleuthing, determined to get Shep off the hook. She discovers that Grant had a watch and a class ring go missing, and that his parents filed an insurance claim for the valuables. Kate still thinks that Logan might be the murderer and wonders if he stole the items from Grant and pawned them (in order to pay his gambling debts). She tells Shep her theory and he calls around pawn shops asking about watches. One shop claims to have a nice watch on hand. Kate goes to investigate. At the pawn shop, she sees the two guys who she’d previously seen threaten and assault Logan. Kate tells Mr. Stone about her theory, and what she saw. He agrees that it’s a possible lead and will investigate.
