Chapter 16 Summary

Merton Richter, the agent who manages Billy’s rented house, arrives to inform Billy that the house will be demolished and that he will have to leave within six weeks. Billy agrees with Alice that she will tell him that she is Dalton Smith’s niece while he gets into his disguise. Alice is still badly bruised from her attack, and Billy thinks Richter (who saw her when she answered the door) might be suspicious of their story. Richter notices that Billy is no longer wearing his moustache (it had to be attached with glue and he had no time), which makes Billy worry that Richter might be more observant that he gave him credit for.

The possibility of discovery makes Billy accelerate his plans. He and Alice agree to leave that very day. First, Billy will visit Alice’s attackers, and then they will leave town together. He takes Don Jensen’s gun, leaving money and a note. He also leaves money for Netflix at Alice’s suggestion. He buys a Melania Trump mask and knocks on Alice’s attackers’ door. Jack answers and Billy sprays him in the eyes with a cleaning product. He ties him up and questions him as they await the return of Hank and Tripp.
