In the transcript, Adam discusses his mom. Since he uncovered the truth, his mom avoided him. One day, Adam came home early. His mom offered to make him lunch and began to cry and open up. The worst part of their life was the uncertainty. A car driving down the street or a woman at the grocery store was a possible threat. Even Grey was a potential threat. Grey told them his government number in case of an emergency, but Louise disliked Grey. They were too dependent on him and should have questioned his authority.

Louise wanted to relocate to New Orleans, but Grey opposed it. The people Dave testified against had links in New Orleans. Yet the people had connections everywhere, like an “evil growth.” As Louise showed Adam the things she kept—Dave’s army jacket and old hat, Adam’s baby items—someone rang the doorbell, frightening Adam and his mom. The person at the door was Amy.

Adam tells Brint that a “dark cloud” sometimes passes over his thoughts. He wants to know where his mom and dad are. He wonders what’s going to happen to him next.
