Delphy wakes Sam. She tells him to be quiet because the bikers are right outside. They are chanting “from away, stay away” (146). Sam thinks they must hate people who are not from Maine coming to the area and building expensive places like the camp. The bikers are terrifying up close. Delphy and Sam know that they have to get out of the camp without being seen. The bikers set fire to the camp.

Sam wishes he could still bring the Jeep down the ramp, but he knows that the men will see them, so they stick to the logging road instead. Across the lake, they see that the main fire has caught up with them. The main camp building explodes, and Sam and Delphy take the opportunity to run toward the woods.

Sam and Delphy almost make it without being seen, but Delphy falls, and Sam knows that the bikers have seen them. They get to the Jeep, and Sam turns on the engine just as the men discover the ramp that they made. Sam and Delphy can hear their bikes coming closer and closer, and Sam feels like “a rabbit with a pack of wolves bearing down” (151).
