Ch 9 pg 223
Jake comes back to the present and he and Al talk about it. The picture of Harry on the wall is gone. Replaced by some guy Al says he doesn't know. Jake needs sleep, so he gives Al a ride home and says he'll be back to get him and do the time travel at 7 pm.
Jake's cat wakes him up at 4:45 and he does some googling. He shells out some cash to get access to the online newspaper archives. There's an article in the derry paper a out the murder. He keeps googling and finds one of Harry's sisters. Turns out he died in Vietnam. Fun bit, one of her other brothers was a tech wiz. Guessing it's cause he found Jake's cell phone.
Jake goes to pick up Al. He's dead. So Jake is on his own to try to save JFK.
Ch 10 pg 245
Jake does soooooo good the second time around. He kills Harry's dad when he's visiting his parents graves and doesn't leave a trace.
He makes $3,000 betting on the world series.
Ch 11 269 (nice)
Jake feels conflicted on killing Harry's dad. So he decides he's also gonna do Al's thing to make himself feel better. With a bit of luck, or maybe divine intervention, he sees that the hunter that accidentally shot the girl plays cribbage. So instead of blocking the road and faking a heart attack to stop things from happening, he pays the guy to teach him cribbage all day.
Thing i learned today, Methodists don't gamble.
Ch 12 pg 279
Jake goes to Florida, makes some money gambling and gets the hell out cause he's got a bad feeling. He makes his way to New Orleans and when he makes a call back to Florida finds out his apartment had been burned down. He feels real good about following that feeling. He makes his way to Dallas and starts to monitor Lee Harvey Oswald's family. He won't be there for a couple more years. He doesn't like Dallas and decides to move to a small town a ways out, but close enough he can easily get to dallas and spy on Oswald's family.
We're left with a bit of a cliffhanger as he wins a bet in Dallas and Something bad is going to happen on the ride home.
Ch 13 pg 317
Jake enjoys his small town life and little trips to Dallas. He's a substitute teacher and he writes his murder novel and he directs the school play. People like him. Not sure why. I don't.
Big decision, they want him to teach full time next year. School is out in June. Oswald doesn't make it back to America til June 13th. So he takes the job.
Also, the librarian, who has been important in all this, has what we are lead to believe is a fatal disease and so a new librarian is coming in and she's a buxom beauty so Jake is gonna fall in love with her probably.
The librarian dies, Jake and the new librarian plan her memorial together. They don't fall in love.
They go to the first football game together and there is a bit of a flirty energy. Seems like Stephen is creating a real will they won't they kinda thing. During the halftime show Jake has a bit of a flashback to the yellow card man.
