Chapter 3
I comprehended that Jase had an intimate relationship with Maximilian Astor. I knew the two had dated, were seen together last at the Memorial Day party in Pine Park, and that they did drugs together, sometimes uppers, but most of the time they smoked weed. Max had more to tell me, I believed. Mostly because he played a key role in Jase’s disappearance, being present during its occurrence. Some things were obvious when fact finding, of course.
October 2. I decided to meet Max in Pine Park, exactly the last place where Jase was seen. Coincidence? Not quite. Brilliant on my part? Maybe.
