Chapter 8 Summary: “What Goes Up Doesn’t Necessarily Come Down”
Kat wants Ted to lie about Salim, but she quickly realizes that Ted will be unwilling to do so. They find their mother and aunt, and Kat explains the stranger, the free ticket, and Salim’s failure to return from the Ferris wheel capsule. Gloria thinks Salim simply stayed in the capsule for another ride. The kids go back and watch the capsules, but Salim emerges from none of them.
When Gloria calls Salim’s cellphone, an automated voice says Salim’s phone has been switched off. Gloria begins to worry. Faith scolds Kat, who bursts into tears. The police take their statement. They go home to wait for news. Gloria dials Salim’s number over and over but to no effect. At one point, she blames Ted for suggesting the Eye but quickly apologizes. Ted’s mother shoos him away. In the kitchen, he finds Kat with her headphones on, listening to music, her head on her arms. Ted heads for his room.
