So before I read the last of the book, I made sure that I some pretzels handy to munch on because I knew it was going to be suspensful. Anyway at this point in the book, it is the start of summer, and Gordie has allot on his mind. Work, summer school, Chase, Mom and Dad, the band, and his crush Jade. He drops in the pawn shop almost everyday to check on his bass guitar that he has almost saved up enouph money for. He really wants to have it back. It was just one of those things that was so precious to him.
One day when Gordie was working, a strange man that was skin and bone, and there were deep hollows of were his cheeks used to be, and when he got up close, Gordie had to step back because the odor was that bad. Once the man got closer, he had realized that it was Chase. Chase was asking Gordie for 500 dollars or else Ractchet and DC were going to kill him. Gordie was so mad at him, but he didnt want his brother to die. Ratchet and DC were outside of the store waiting and watching. Gordie locked the doors so that they could not get in. He calmy tried to tell Chase that he was going to call the cops, and as soon as he told him the plan, Chase freaked out and started shaking, and did what he did best and ran away and tried to get out. Before Gordie could call the cops, he was out and when Ratchet and DC saw he didnt have any money with him, they started beating him, and pushed him into the backseat of there car and sped off. The cops later found Ratchet and DC but no Chase.
Gordie rides the bus home, wandering if Chase is alive. He is scared to to go home and tell his parents that Chase was with him and once again got away. Gordie looks at the newspapers everyday at the section reading unidentified bodies wandering if it were Chase. It seems as though this whole thing has screwed there family up mentally and emotionally. Gordies dad is starting to drink, and his Mom wont get out of bed. His parents are not speaking, and his Mom is turning on Gordie and his Dad. The cops do not trust Gordies Mom, so everynight they speak with his father.
So one afternoon Gordie is watching the news, and sees that a man has stolen a womens car in the rain. The man gets to the highway and is chased by cops at over 150 kilometers per hour when they finally stop him, he is seen with his head down on the wheel, and swallows something which is later found to be a large amount of drugs. Its guess that he just wanted one last hit before he got arrested. Even on the TV with all the cops surrouding the man, Gordie knew that it was Chase. Chase went into cardiac arrest, his eyes rolled into the back of his head and he stopped breathing. My post is getting too long so therfore.....to be continued....muhahah
