Fletcher agrees to help her and starts off by investigating all suspects which eventually gets him threatened by a thirteen-year-old named Red Sharkey.

Fletcher then sneaks out of the hospital to visit April's cousin, May, to photograph this newfound evidence, but ends up at the wrong house, where he catches sight of somebody setting fire to May's lucky dancing costume.

He passes out in the yard due to the anesthetic from the hospital and later awakens to find a torch in his hand, with all evidence for the arson pointing to him.

Following a lead to April's house, they discover the truth behind Les Jeunes Etudiantes, the girls' club, their true goal being to get rid of all the boys ruining their education.

He meets a secret informant who, in exchange for the password of a police account he hacked earlier in the story, discovers that the link between the crimes ended up being the upcoming talent show at his school.

However, on stage, Fletcher declares that it was May's father, Gregor Devereux, who committed the previous crimes in an attempt to remove Fletcher from the investigation, forcibly eliminate every other talent show contestant (who were all ranked higher than May in the previous year's talent show), and leave May to take first place by default.

Red suggests they name the group "Moon Investigations" while Fletcher replies, "You're half right", referencing his nickname.
