- Okay, we have a third narrator. This is not a drill.
- This is a third-person narrator, focusing on the person who shot Cassie. That means he's a Silencer.
- Also, he's been stalking Cassie, going so far as to read her diary. Is nothing sacred?
- Thinking about how she killed the soldier, the Silencer decides not to confront Cassie after he shoots her. Better to let her die under the car.
- This Silencer has been killing humans since the plague started. Sounds like he's killed a lot of people. For some reason, though, he hasn't been able to bring himself to kill Cassie until now.
- He doesn't feel like he has a choice in what he does. He's protecting his own kind.
- That said, the Silencer thought he was human until just four years ago. That was when he realized he was an alien.
- Why's he having so much trouble killing her? The Silencer isn't sure. There's just something about Cassie.
- Apparently he's had some trouble adjusting to his life as an alien. For other aliens, it's been easier.
- Here's a fun fact: if the Silencer's human body dies, the alien inside it will die, too. Good to know.
- He decides he's going to finish Cassie once and for all. Just as he's about to leave, he sees her crawl out from beneath the car.
- He's about to shoot her when Cassie cries out. She's taunting him. That girl has attitude.
- Dang, he still can't shoot her. Looks like Cassie will live for at least a few more minutes, anyway.
