Chapter Summaries & Analyses
Theo rushes to join Ike at the trial, appearing in time to hear the testimony of the insurance agent called by Clifford Nance. The agent explains that it was normal for the Duffys to have an insurance policy on each other in the case of their deaths. The prosecutor tries cross examining the witness, but it doesn’t help his case.
Afterwards, at Ike’s office, he presents Theo with three options. First, he can do nothing, especially since it is so late in the trial. Second, he can try to convince his witness to come forward. Third, he could go see Judge Gantry, but the judge will want details. Theo doesn’t like any of his options and asks Ike what he thinks he should do. Ike recommends staying out of it, especially since he’s a kid, and says that the criminal justice system isn’t perfect. Theo pushes back by saying that this time it could work. He promises not to do anything without talking to Ike first.
He also asks Theo how Spanish is going, saying that he’s heard that his teacher is very good. Theo is surprised that Ike knows Madame Monique’s name and doesn’t appreciate his advice to learn Chinese.
Theo’s mom is at home preparing for book club when Theo arrives at the office at six o’clock.
