Chapter 24 Summary

The hurricane passes, and Claspers complains that Grunion and his girlfriend refused to give him a room during the storm’s peak. When Yancy and Rosa ask Claspers for a ride back to Miami, he declines, explaining that the plane belongs to Grunion. In response, Yancy brandishes his “borrowed” police badge to pressure Claspers into cooperating.

Meanwhile, Evan notices a convertible pulling into Yancy’s driveway and recognizes the driver as Bonnie. He considers alerting Agent Weiderman but reconsiders when Bonnie begins sunbathing. As they chat, Bonnie asks Evan questions about Yancy and Rosa. Evan feigns indifference while watching her unload gasoline cans from her car.

Eve pulls out the broken fly rod that ruptured a disc in Nick’s lower back, leaving him unable to use his legs. Nick angrily blames Eve for his injury and wonders aloud about Egg’s whereabouts. Deciding that they need medical care in England, Eve offers Nick pain pills for the drive to the airfield. They arrive just as the seaplane departs, and Yancy blows kisses in their direction as he takes off.

Chapter 25 Summary

Neville drives Yancy and Rosa to the airfield but panics when he spots Nick and Eve Stripling on his return trip. However, he quickly realizes with relief that they don’t recognize him.
