Quote #4
Ulla wasn't there, where she'd said she would be. Did she set me up? I wondered, my heart thumping with dread. (3.19.114)
Oh, snap. Just as he suspected in the quote above, Lin is caught in a trap. Ulla might trust Lin to do what he says he will, but she obviously can't be trusted to be where she promises she will. Unfortunately, her betrayal will cost Lin dearly, as the police are closing in on him and there's no way out.
Quote #5
And one day they came to take our fingerprints, pressing the black, traitorous loops and whorls onto a page that promised to tell a truth, a vile truth, and nothing but that truth. (3.20.47)
Fingerprints don't lie—unless you have adermatoglyphia. And in Lin's case, because he's a wanted fugitive, his fingerprints have a terrible truth to tell. He calls the one-of-a-kind mark "traitorous" because his own body will betray him, giving away his true identity.
Quote #6
"Khaderbhai, he told me that he found out why you got picked up and put in jail. He said that someone powerful, someone with a lot of influence, had you put away, man." (3.21.166)
Lin always knew that he was set up, but he thought that he had been betrayed by Ulla. Now he has new information about the traitor, that it's someone powerful. No offense, Ulla, but that's not you. This sort of rumor, whispered info that leads Lin a little closer to his goal, is the best information he has to go on, which makes it that much harder to know whether he's on the right track or not.
