Chapter Summaries & Analyses
Despite Wyatt’s warning, Cameron opens the door, and the two men barge in. They demand the return of their device, but Wyatt and Matt refuse to tell them where it is. The men try to scare the boys by hitting the wall three times and threatening to hit them next. Suzana appears at the window and tells the men that she has called 911. The two men flee when they hear sirens, but they take Matt with them. They threaten to hurt him if the children talk to the police and claim that they will use Matt’s phone to contact Wyatt with further instructions.
Shocked and confused, the children eventually get rid of the police by claiming that they saw a man on the roof. Once they return to their rooms for the night, Wyatt and Suzana tell Cameron and Victor the truth about the situation. Victor wants to ask his father, who works in the military, if he can identify the device. Wyatt agrees, then receives a text from the kidnappers. They tell him to meet them the next day at the Boy Scout statue to exchange the device for Matt. The children look up the location on their phones and agree to the terms.
