Chapter 20

I’m so glad Jethro might be cultivating a friendship with people away from StarkeIt’s such a dead-end place for a young manThis detective seems nice enoughAnybody would be better than that nasty little twerp, DonnyJethro has never even looked at a girl… I wonder if he’s gay?He needs an older man to take him by the hand as a mentorGod knows his father can’t be bothered…
