Part 2, Chapter 12 Summary

A week after Naomi disappears, Wilde gets a visitor. Wilde lives in a self-sustaining, off-the-grid Ecocapsule pod in the woods, with an elaborate security system. When the visitor alert comes, he is contemplating a DNA test results email and wondering whether he really wants to know about his past.

His visitor is Bernard Pine, who is inebriated and wants his help in finding Naomi. Because of the challenge game fiasco, no one is taking Naomi’s disappearance seriously this time. Wilde agrees to look into things and then drives Bernard home.

Part 2, Chapter 13 Summary

Hester’s guest on the current episode of Crimstein on Crime is activist/attorney Saul Strauss. They debate the controversial presidential candidate Rusty Eggers. Saul is convinced that Dash Maynard has video footage that would be detrimental to Rusty; his source is Arnie Poplin, who acted on one of Rusty’s shows. However, he can’t prove any of this footage exists. Hester finds the whole thing ridiculous. She feels that Saul wants to leak this footage to damage Rusty’s political campaign. The debate continues off-stage until Hester disengages. Oren has come to the studio to visit. When Hester finds him, they flirt before talking business.
