- Maddie misses the plane back to England because the choke of the car she's riding in keeps breaking down, so she's too late.
- Most of this chapter is a description of Maddie, Paul, and the French driver arguing with each other in various languages because the French driver doesn't believe Maddie can fix the choke.
- Finally Maddie pulls the Colt .32, and threatens Paul and the driver until they let her fix it. But they're still late for the rendezvous.
- No one is left except a few resistance workers, one of whom gives Maddie the warm RAF boots Jamie left behind for her.
- She cries on the way back.
