Sketches final Quarter

The remaining 48 pages revealed a lot about Dana and gave some insight on why she has left. It starts in Tent Town with Dana waking up to a loud noise coming from outside their tent. It turned out to be officers who broke through their gate to remove everyone there. They didn't mean to do harm but they gave everyone one hour to leave, if people stayed longer than one hour then they would removed by force. Atleast that was at first before some big guy who was the sergeant says that if people needed more time they were allowed more time to leave and even says that the people can take the buses outside the gates and there were even trucks that served breakfast for free. Afterwards Dana and her two friends had to leave so they sold their tent for 35 bucks( they bought it for 20 which means they got 15 profit) and looked for a place. Brent brought them to some place which reeked to the girls and they found that there was something in the corner under a blanket. They soon discovered that there was a dead body filled with insects and it kinda traumatized Dana. Dana decided to call Nicki since she was allowed to do so if she needed it badly. Nicki allowed them into the SKETCHES building and let them sleep in her office and even slept with them there to comfort Dana. Ashley and Brent were disgusted by the body, but it didn't really bother them as badly as it did to Dana. Nicki told her friend who worked on the police about the body since Dana wanted the body to be found(not really sure why since her explainatio didn't make much sense.) and the day afterwards two cops in plain clothing came to SKETCHES to talk with Nicki. They asked her questions and Nicki didn't answer them, but they were persistent until Nicki asked them questions. While this was happening Dana told the news about the cops to Ashley and Brent. When she told Brent the news Gizmo suggested that they stay since they would go after the three if they were to leave since it would be suspicious. Dana agreed and Brent told her that they were allowed to crash with Gizmo at his place as long as they needed. Dana then tells Ashley and Nicki comes back to see Dana working on pottery with Ashley. Dana did a bad job and Nicki told her(she's usually positive) and wanted to talk to the two about what happened. As Dana washed the clay off her hands Nicki saw the marks on her arms. She then confronts Dana about it and asks her if she did it to other places like her thigh. Turns out that Dana was sexually abused by her step father for about 4 years(another reason for her leaving?) and Nicki wanted to help out since it started when Dana was 11 and Dana's little sister turned
11 recently so she might be in trouble. Some time passed after this since the story cuts to Dana talking to Becca( the person who wanted to show Danas work on her next show) about her work. It was also revealed that Brent and Ashley got out of the street as they now got a apartment with two bedrooms and Brent's idea of selling scooters took off as they recently sold three of three of them which covers two months of rent. Dana managed to get her step father arrested for what he has done and she is starting to talk with her mother and little sister. She hasn't returned to her home because he said that she wasn't ready which I guess is understandable since she was sexually abused for four years and going back to that place is kinda painful. The show was started and Dana's mother was going to attend it, the story ends with Dana seeing her mom in the crowd of people and they make eye contact. This book was good, I say 4.5 stars out of 5 because I'm still mad about the part with those thugs jumping Dana and her friends.
