Part 1, Chapter 9 Summary

In 2008, Lucky arrives in San Francisco and is unsure where to go next. She chooses randomly from the bus schedule and heads to Baker City, Oregon. During her ride, she reads stories in the newspaper about her and Cary’s crimes, as well as the lottery ticket being unclaimed. Lucky makes a list of people to pay back if she can collect her winnings. She gets off the bus at Little Spring, a small town near Baker City, and goes into Little Spring’s only diner. After washing in the bathroom, she orders food and asks the owners about their help wanted sign. Lucky claims to be named Ruby Cullen, a mother who is backpacking around the country. The couple, Benson and Arlene, agree to let her try waiting tables during the lunch rush.

Lucky is good at waiting tables during the small lunch rush and they invite her to work the dinner rush as well. Her success waiting tables during dinner causes the owners to offer her a room, as well as a job, for as long as she needs. She borrows their library card and looks up Priscilla, Darla, and Steph using a fake social media profile.
