Chapter Summaries & Analyses
The girl sits in the living room, worrying about Wylie. Wylie bursts inside and props a chair against the door to keep it closed, vowing to the girl that she will not let her father hurt her anymore. Wylie then asks if the girl’s mother’s name is Becky; the girl nods, causing Wylie to cry.
Wylie is embarrassed by her emotions and tries to calm herself while grappling with the enormity of her discovery. Wylie and the girl go to the living room, where they hear Becky crying in the closet. Wylie gets a missing persons flyer from her files and climbs into the closet with Becky. Wylie tells Becky that she is Josie, giving her the flyer and telling her details from their childhood. Finally, Becky recognizes Wylie, and the women tearfully share that they thought the other was dead. Becky claims that her captor told her that everyone had died and no one was looking for her, though Wylie assures her this is not the case. Wylie then shares that she has locked her captor, who Wylie assumes to be Jackson, in the barn, so he cannot hurt her anymore.
