In this chapter, we learn that dalen is working with a white man, and that the white man is very different from the man dalen saw at the skating rink. He is tall, thin, and wearing a long coat, and dalen remembers him very well. He also remembers that vincent was with him at the time of the incident, and he wonders why the man would be hanging around the rink during his off-day. He wonders why dalen was on such a date with the man who knows everything about the neighborhood, and wonders why he was there during his "off-day." He also wonders how the girl could have performed for them, since the police were looking for her.
