In Chapters 17-22 in Red Kayak by Priscilla Cummings, many things happen. First, Digger approaches Brady and asks what he did with the drill. Brady then goes to his Aunt Janet's house in Rhode Island for a break during the first week of summer. While he's there he sees a picture of Amanda, his deceased baby sister. He puts the photo in his wallet, and decides to keep it for later. On the train ride there and back, he wonders what he should do with the drill, and decides to throw it into a creek. Even after doing that, he feels no relief, and even feels more guilty than before. He starts to work for Mrs. DiAngelo, and on the fourth of July, Mr. DiAngelo comes back. One day, in his room he takes out the picture of Amanda, and his mother sees. That is when they confess their true feelings about her death to one another. A few days later, he and his uncle Carl rent a movie and have dinner together. While they are there, Brady runs into J.T. and notices that he looks very pale and tired. When he got home from Carl's, he talked to his dad about the protest in Crisfield, and eventually asks him to help haul something out of the water. Brady's dad correctly guesses that it is the red kayak, and Brady wonders why he didn't just tell his father the truth.
