Part 3, Chapter 10 Summary

Maddy wonders why the shooter is doing this, and Oliver reiterates that they are probably trespassing in the shooter’s territory and that he warned everyone not to enter this road. Simon, angry at Oliver’s behavior, says that no one knew this was going to happen. In response, Oliver repeats that he warned everyone and no one listened to him. He blames Red, Simon, and Arthur for their predicament since they were helping with navigation.

Amid rising tensions, Maddy reminds everyone that no one is at fault. Instead, they should think about solutions. Simon and Reyna ask Maddy to call 911 but Red explains it won’t work because there is no cell reception in the area at all. Oliver insists Maddy call anyway, but as Red predicted, the call does not go through.

Maddy asks if someone nearby could have heard the shots, but Red reflects that the shots were not loud. She has a flashback to her mom’s funeral, where she heard this type of shot. Simon agrees and explains that the shooter must be using a silencer, which he learned about from movies.

Realizing that they cannot call the cops and that no one heard the shots, Maddy honks the horn repeatedly to create a commotion.
