Jdate ch 12 through 15

 Ch 12 pg 281

Dave tries to tell John he killed Amy.  Problem is, Amy is there.  She doesn't know where she was.  But shes back.  Also, jellyfish monster is gone. Maybe Amy is jellyfish?

John shows Amy a cool goop thing that can form any shape and gets angry and bites spoons when you say mean things about it.  This is an attempt to earn Amy's trust so she will talk about what's been going on with her.

It works well enough that she's willing to show them the basement.

In the basement is scifi special effects stuff Big Jim was working on.  Its all super cool.  And a lot of it is what theyve been dealing with.  Shadow men and portals to another world.  Maybe Jim has all the answers even though hes dead now.

Pg 292

Dave goes home and falls asleep and wakes up to being paralyzed and Robert North is there.  He eats a spider.

He goes to work.  John's uncle, who is a cop and was with them at Amy's last night cones in a little on edge.  Dave hands him mullhulland falls to rent.

John calls Dave and tells him to drop everything and meet him at Dennys. John's girlfriend is the most beautiful woman Dave has ever seen.  And he's young dumb and full of cum so he's gonna stare at her boobs.

John hands him a news paper with a transcript of an internet chat Amy was in before her abduction. 

Ch 13 pg 306

David goes over to Amy's house. Shafoqmen show up.  They drive away.  Shadowmen attack them on the drive.  They get away, as they're driving he tells her the story of how he ended up in the school for the mentally challenged. Five kids were abusing hum and he stabbed one of em's eyes out.  Insanity plea was the idea his lawyer adoptive father came up with and that's how he ended up there.

Ch 14 pf 336

It's 4:20, but not the weed smoking 4:20.

John gets involved in some shenhannegans at the scene of  a jack knifed tractor trail that was bleeding.  John drives away and then there's people shooting guns. John through a series of mental mistakes to try to not get noticed ends up flashing his lights on and off at the gunned people several times ,definitely getting their attention.   

Pg 340

John tells Dave he's sure he would have surely been shot at by these people had not a giant crab gorilla thing attacked them.

We've discussed that the use of the R word in this book is upsetting.  This might be the least upsetting use of it as David is using it to describe his feel8ngs about John's story.

Somehow the gun men subdue the beast and drive to the mall.  John follows them there and he walks right into the mall as if he's not at all aware of what a dang place it is.  But no time to investigate he's gotta get to the job site.

5:18

Amy tells David how she ended I'm the school for challenge mentally children.  She was I'm a car accident with her parents. That's how they died.  She currently doesn't have a left hand.  She still had it back then but she was losing control of it and she was on a lot of drugs for the pain related to the car accident. The statement she gives without any real details is that she bit a teacher and was sent there.

5:36

John saw some weird stuff at the job site.  Like a door to a hole to he'll or something. 

8:07

David and Amy are asleep in his truck.  John wakes them up via knocking on the window.  They talk about stuff.  Problem is the whole roofing crew is also there and theres a guy named Tyler that tries to give david the advise not to make Amy's problems his problems cause you be too much of a nice guy and now you're taking care of other people for the rest of your life.  He gets punched in the face for his trouble.

Amy and David go back to Davids house, which has been ransacked.   Hes trying to give her the hard truth of their situation.   fun realization David has in all this is that Amy is smarter than him and he decides he won't try to bullshit her.  i'm assuming they have a romantic moment cause the next scene is john showing up and they've both showered.


Ch 15 pg 362

John and david take soy sauce.  They go to the mall with Amy.  They fight some monsters.  They end up in a weird hell factory. Somehow Amy is missing.  John and david leave a glorious trail of violence through the hell factory. They end up meeting Robert North. All Republicans are racist.  Robert explains he was "born" here a month ago.  The powers that be are excited about david and John's ability to move between worlds.  They want to use that ability for nefarious purposes. 

There's a big tank full of black goop.  Robert North says the way to save Amy is in there.  If they focus their minds on it, they will be able to enter.  David starts to go in, outstretched hand first.  He starts to regret thus decision and is considering telling John to chop his arm off as he can't seem to pull it out. Then everything goes black.
