Welcome to case closed. You're listening to the Block Party by Jamie Day, narrated by Megan Tousing and Susie Jackson.

Let's pick up where we left off last week.

Chapter 35

Letty Chapter 35. Lettie.

Dylan is finally home from the hospital.

I'm nervous to see him.

I feel sick to my stomach all the time.

If he had ended his life over the breakup with R. I feel sick to my stomach all the time.

and nobody knows the truth but Jay and me.

And it appears that I'm not done inserting myself into other people's problems.

I've got a new mission now.

Get Riley's phone back from Dylan, who we suspect took it when he also took the pills from her purse.

That phone must have images and messages that Dylan shouldn't see. Things that might send him over the edge, maybe trigger a second attempt. That's all the motivation I need to stay involved.

Aunt Emily approaches from the kitchen. Her smile has dimmed, but she still greets me with a big hug,

just as she would on any other day. She asks if I'm hungry and I tell her no, that I came to

see Dylan.

My cousin Logan has come and gone,
