Part 5: “Hell and High Water”

Part 5, Chapter 37 Summary: “Jacqui”

Jacqui takes the wheel since neither Alyssa nor Kelton can drive. As they head to the reservoir, they all bicker in the heat. They see a firefighting plane overhead. Jacqui starts to feel sick and dehydrated—and nearly crashes into a tree.

Part 5, Chapter 38 Summary: “Henry”

Henry wants to plan an escape. However, he knows that he’s still better off with the group than alone.

Part 5, Chapter 39 Summary: “Kelton”

Kelton realizes that they’re all severely dehydrated. He thinks, “We could go maybe six or seven more hours without water now. Then we fall into a coma. Then we die. Simple as that” (330). In addition, he worries that he’ll be wrong about the reservoir having water.
