Part 3, Chapter 44 Summary: “Detective Work”

Leigh and Dennis find LeBay’s registration slip for the 1958 Plymouth and realize that his signature matches Arnie’s new one. Dennis talks to Kenny about Arnie’s negative transformation and the romantic moment with Leigh. Dennis thinks his father wanted to be a toymaker; now, Kenny makes toys during the holiday season, donating them to the Salvation Army.

Dennis wants to contact George LeBay, so he calls the secretary of the Libertyville American Legion, Richard McCandless, who views Rollie LeBay as extremely antisocial. McCandless fought in World War II without incurring even a scar; however, when he and his friends tried to play a joke on LeBay by lifting Christine’s back tires, LeBay drove away as if all four tires were on the ground.
