- Whelk is now in his car with Neeve, but things aren't going exactly as he planned.
- First of all, she's eating hummus and crackers in his car and getting crumbs everywhere.
- Secondly, she has him tied up in the back seat and he can see a bunch of random stuff—including big knives—on the ground. This does not look good for him.
- He's pretty sure that she's going to use him as the sacrifice to complete the ritual on the ley lines.
- But there's one thing that he has in his favor: He's not tied up that tightly… so he can get out.
