In this chapter, we learn that John October has been arrested on charges of money laundering and will be charged with other crimes as the case continues. We learn that the October company is a "massive charity" and that the citizens of the city have expressed their dismay at the company's activities. Octavia tells us that if the company goes down, she will no longer need chocolate. She says that she will not remember a thing about the company, even her connections to it. She tells us she will take care of the rest of her "talentech trustworthy partner" , Dimsdale "boiled" . Dimsdale calls Octavia and tells her that he has a message for her. He wants her to kill him because the company wants him to do so. He tells Octavia that the location of the chocolate is ten miles away and that he will have to go on the run if he wants to get away. He says that Octavia's head aches they are gone . He sighs and says that all the treats have disappeared. He then tells us he has done it again and that all of his treats are dead. He asks if he can send the money to him in exchange for protection of his life. He explains that he brought the money for Octavia because she was being taken advantage of by the company. He also says that the aerial route is being blocked and that if he does the same thing again, there is no other way.
