Chapter Summaries & Analyses
Oliver points out that since this siege was pre-planned, someone inside the RV must have led them here. He looks at Red, Simon, and Arthur accusingly. Simon points out that since Reyna was driving, Oliver should also hold her accountable, but Oliver justifies his preferential treatment by pointing out that Red, Arthur, and Simon were directing Reyna. Simon and Oliver continue to fight, and when Arthur asks them to stop, Oliver accuses Arthur. Then he accuses Red, and Arthur defends her. Reyna asks Oliver to stop, and Maddy points out that they all need to work together to survive.
Oliver asks Red and Arthur to lift their shirts so he can check them for wires, and after a lot of protesting, they do so. However, Oliver is not satisfied and asks for everyone’s phones. He puts everyone’s phones, including his own, in a pan and then seals the lid with tape.
Simon says that they should discuss the secret, but Oliver insists they will not do what the sniper wants: “We’re not doing that, not playing his game” (235). Red discerns that Oliver wants to protect the secret he and Reyna share, while Reyna thinks that the secret could be about what they did.
