FULL SUMMARY:
Chapter 18 finds Crystal tentatively approaching 'Merry Mews', a derelict apartment block where Kevin resides. Preferring to confront Kevin alone, Crystal leaves her willing father in the car. She converses first with an inquisitive elderly woman, learning that Kevin resides in apartment number 22, and then with a surly teenager, Rico, who resembles a younger version of Kevin. Rico's rudeness is quickly chastised by a woman behind him, introducing herself as Ingrid - Kevin's mother. Inviting Crystal into the humble, homely apartment, Ingrid reproaches Rico for his discourtesy. Identifying herself as Aqua World's manager's daughter, Crystal arouses Rico's contemptuous reaction, and reveals her intention of finding Kevin. Kevin's mother expresses concern upon learning that Kevin hadn't shown up at the aquarium that morning. Crystal narrates the snack bar theft event, expecting shock from Kevin's mother. Instead, Ingrid appears calm, her demeanor suggesting past experiences of worse circumstances. As Rico insults Crystal further, frame-transiting the scenario of Kevin being sought to feed the fish, Kevin himself appears at the apartment door, stopping in his tracks upon noticing Crystal.

FULL SUMMARY:
In hoofstuk 18 klop Crystal by 'n vervalle woonstelblok genaamd Merry Mews, in soek na Kevin. Ondanks haar pa se aanbod om te help, besluit Crystal om alleen te gaan. Sy ontmoet 'n jonger weergawe van Kevin, Rico, by die deur van woonstel 22. Rico, ongeveer veertien, en met 'n grou aard, is skynbaar Kevin se broer. Crystal vind uit dat Kevin se ma, Tannie Ingrid, ook daar bly. Crystal besluit om dadelik by die punt te kom, en sy stel haarself voor as die dogter van Aqua World se bestuurder, waar Kevin elke dag werk. As Tannie Ingrid vra of Kevin vanoggend daar was, vertel Crystal haar die verhaal van die verdagte diefstal by die akwarium. In teenstelling met wat Crystal verwag, is Tannie Ingrid baie kalm en ongerus, impliseer dat sy voorheen erger situasies hanteer het. Net toe Rico ontken dat Kevin betrokke is by die akwarium en sy en Crystal begin argumenteer, maak Kevin onverwags die voordeur oop en staan stomverbaas toe hy Crystal sien.
