To their surprise the sheriff, who has jurisdiction, welcomes their help and leads them to the pasture where the party was thrown. They find a girls shoe in the bushes but the property owner claims to know nothing about the party. Inez is called to the Cherokee Indian Hospital by a Cherokee Nation Marshall and friend, Astila who has found Maddison. The nurse tells them that Maddison has been sexually assaulted but Maddison won’t tell Inez what happened. To Inez’s great upset Maddison’s parents don’t want to pursue an investigation into the assault. Inez suspects they don’t want to stir up trouble for the football team.
