Gab explains that Korey’s guys were coming after her, so she had to disappear and change her number. She tried to rescue Enchanted, but “Korey got up in [her] face” (353) and threatened to kill her. Gabriela explains that Korey called all of his victims “Bright Eyes,” and Enchanted remembers the woman who tried to kill her calling her “Bright Eyes.” Enchanted asks for Gab’s help to prove her innocence.

In the Will and Willow group chat, the teenagers discuss that Enchanted has run away, and word has spread that “Korey used to hang out around [another member’s] high school and pick up girls” (358). They realize that Enchanted was telling the truth about Korey.

While Gab causes a distraction, Enchanted runs into Korey’s apartment building and re-enters the crime scene. While security chases her down, she finds a knife and her stuffed Flounder toy and “[stabs] his underbelly, but there’s already a hole. One I never noticed before [...] And inside the fluff of fish guts… is a camera” (363).
