In Chapters 17-22 several important things happened in Red Kayak by Priscilla Cummings. Digger kept asked Brady what he had done with the drill. He wants Brady to destroy it for the three of them so that they won't get in trouble. We find out from Carl that Digger's dad constantly fights with his mom, this may be a reason why Digger is the way he is. After an award ceremony at school, JT asks Brady if they could be friends again, and Brady accepts. Brady goes up to Rhode Island after school gets out to see his cousins. He knew he needed to make a decision on what to do with the drill. Brady is using this trip to take a break from everything that has happened. At his aunt's house Brady finds a picture of Amanda, his aunt lets him keep it. Brady hides it in his wallet so that Amanda is always with him. Brady had a lot of fun with his cousins, it helped him ease the pain and he was happier. This made him want to stay in Rhode Island, but he goes home to Maryland. His dad started thinking about trying fishing because it has been a lousy crabbing season. Brady finally made a decision on what he needed to do. He went out to the river and dropped the drill in it. Recently Brady got back to working for the DiAngelos and when Fourth of July came Mr DiAngelo with it. Brady felt as though Mr DiAngelo knew what he did, this made him paranoid. Brady's dad decided not to protest with the other water men even though he knew the consequences. Brady's mom sees the picture of Amanda and gives him the key to the locked up trunk. Finally he asks his dad to take his boat out to fish out the red kayak out of the river. Will this dramatically change the story?
