FULL SUMMARY:
In Chapter 18, Luan and Lana find themselves dealing with the fallout from their misadventure at the local police station. After an exhausting process of questioning by Sergeant Mentoor, their ordeal ends as they finally leave the police station. Throughout the process, Luan strives to convince the police that Lana had nothing to do with their sheep rescue escapade, but his words fall on deaf ears. Relief from the situation only arrives thanks to the interference of Luan's grandmother. A tense conversation crops up between the two teens; Lana, feeling manipulated and betrayed, criticizes Luan for his actions and the adverse impact on her father's charity cycle tour, eventually, leading her to dismiss him. Luan, feeling regretful, is left standing alone as Lana's family vehicle disappears in the distance. He is comforted by his grandma, who appears tired from the constant phone calls she had to make to convince people to drop the charges against them. She agrees to pay for the sheep as reimbursement to mitigate the trouble instigated. As Luan expresses his gratitude, Alice raises a pivotal question, wanting to know what happened at the school — a topic neither wanted to broach. Despite his initial reluctance, Luan finds himself sharing the details of that night with his grandmother, thus shedding more light on his initial punishment and the cause of their current journey. The chapter highlights the complications that ensue from Luan's seemingly minor act of rebellion and its impact on his relationship with Lana.
