WHAT HAPPENED, IN 50 WORDS:
Chapter 17 sees Crystal and her father searching for Kevin. Their only lead, Kevin's job at a beach hot dog stand, prompts a weary trip to Kelly's Beach. The Rastaman working there mistakenly reveals Kevin's residence in Merry Mews, providing a potential link to locate Kevin.
FULL SUMMARY:
Chapter 17 starts with the high heat in Crystal's father's car, which lacks a functional air conditioner. They have been driving for hours, searching for Kevin without success, leaving Crystal's father exhausted and convinced it's a futile endeavor. Crystal is desperate but doesn't want to involve the police to get Kevin's address. Crystal's father, needing to return to work, is about to give up when Crystal recalls the food stall at Kelly's Beach. Kevin works there in the evenings, selling hot dogs, which may be their only lead to his whereabouts. Turning off toward Kelly's Beach, they arrive at a quiet early morning scene. Running ahead of her father, Crystal approaches the already open hot dog stand and interacts with the Rastaman working there. Initially, the Rastaman has no idea who Kevin Pieterse is, but upon Crystal's clarification that Kevin sometimes works here, he recalls him as 'Kevinator'. Crystal, trying to keep her patience, clarifies that she's aware Kevin only works nights but seeks his home address. Despite the Rastaman’s suspicion about her possible police affiliation, he shrugs it off using Crystal's youthfulness and her barefoot appearance (uncommon for a cop) as a reason not to worry. Fortunately, he knows Kevin resides nearby at a place called Merry Mews but can't remember the exact address. Grateful for the information, Crystal hastily retreats to her awaiting father.
WHAT HAPPENED, IN 50 WORDS:
In hoofstuk 17 is Crystal en haar pa opsoek na verdagte Kevin, maar kry geen sukses nie. By Kelly's Beach herken 'n Rastaman Kevin as 'die Kevinator' en verwys hulle na Merry Mews vir sy verblyf. 'n Hoopvolle lei na Kevin het uiteindelik verskyn.
FULL SUMMARY:
Hoofstuk 17 Na 'n lang dag deur die strate gery te het, is Crystal en haar pa moeg en sweetrig. Hulle soek na Kevin waarvan hulle nie sy adres ken nie en Crystal versoek vir haar pa om nie die polisie te vra nie. Hul soektog het hul nog geen sukses gebring nie. In die swaar hitte van die kar het Crystal 'n skielike herinnering aan Kevin se deeltydse werk by die strandstalletjie op Kelly's Beach. Dit bied 'n moontlike lei om Kevin op te spoor. Sonder om te aarsel, dryf haar pa in die rigting van Kelly's Beach. By die strand, wat nog stil is in die vroë oggendure, maak Crystal haar na die worsbroodjiestalletjie waar sy 'n man met Rastalokke agter die toonbank vind. Hy luister na Bob Marley se musiek terwyl hy werk. Hoewel hy aanvanklik in die war is oor Kevin se identiteit, lig hy op wanneer Crystal verduidelik dat Kevin soms daar werk. Hy noem Kevin liefkoosend 'die Kevinator'. Die Rastaman benadruk dat Kevin net in die nagte werk omdat hy in die dag by 'n 'visplek' werkstaan het - 'n verwysing na Crystal se pa se akwarium, Aqua World. Hy gee dan Chrisal 'n leidraad waar Kevin kan verblyf by Merry Mews, alhoewel hy nie die presiese adres kan verskaf nie. Opgewonde en opgelug om uiteindelik 'n lei te hê, bedank Crystal die Rastaman en jaag terug na die kar.
