Chapter Summaries & Analyses
Will uses his phone to take photos of the backpack and its surroundings. Delilah says it’s Mercy’s backpack. Nadine puts gloves on and carefully opens the backpack. Inside is a badly damaged notebook, some clothing, and an old phone. Mercy was apparently leaving, but they don’t know why she went to the bachelor cottages.
Will realizes that Dave must be hiding at Camp Awinita, on the other side of the lake. Delilah gives Will and Sara directions to get there by canoe, and Nadine reluctantly agrees not to tell Biscuits what they’re doing.
Delilah tells them that Dave habitually carries a switchblade, and Sara gets nervous. She and Will hike to the equipment shed, where the canoes are kept. The same shed houses all the fishing equipment, which Christopher meticulously organized. They note that none of the knives appear to be missing. Before they leave, Will grabs a knife, some duct tape, and zip ties.
Following Delilah’s directions, they row to Camp Awinita. Sara drops Will on the beach and then takes the canoe offshore while he finds and secures Dave. Dawn is breaking as Will moves toward the old campfire ring. Dave is cooking fish and has a boning knife close at hand.
