Turtles all the way down5/21/2023 As time passes, Aza doesn’t obsess over her finger as much. Aza and Daisy leave, but Aza and Davis start texting. Before he left, he willed his whole estate to his pet lizard, and Davis fears he’s not in his right senses. When Aza and Daisy visit Davis, they find out that Russell’s company never finished work on sewer lines it was contracted to repair, and that’s when Russell went missing. Aza rejects the idea, but Daisy, who comes from a poorer family and needs to save money for college, wants to try and collect the $100,000 reward that has been posted for information about Pickett’s disappearance. Daisy wants Aza to contact Pickett’s son, Davis ( Russell Davis Pickett, Jr.), who Aza knew years before. Pickett fled to avoid being arrested for fraud and bribery concerning a sewer project. One day at lunch, as Aza fights to tamp down her fears that her body has been infected by bacteria, her friends Daisy Ramirez and Mychal Turner discuss the disappearance of a local billionaire businessman, Russell Davis Pickett, Sr. Doing this momentarily relieves her overwhelming anxiety, but she must repeat this compulsion many times a day. To deal with this obsession, Aza must compulsively cut open a small callus on her finger, clean it with hand sanitizer, then put on a new Band-Aid. Aza is a 16-year-old high schooler in Indianapolis who has an uncontrollable obsession with the thought of bacteria invading her body and killing her.
