Weems wakes to a scratching noise coming from the hall. Pete has dragged Flammenwerfer up from the shop and is going to “go for help” (193). Weems argues with all the reasons this is a bad idea, but Pete says he has to do this because he needs “to do something right” (196). In the wake of Pete breaking up the group by confronting Les, Weems understands and stops arguing.
Pete and Jason argue about who should get to use Flammenwerfer. They start yelling, and a sound “like the ones we’d heard before the first collapse” comes from the roof (198). The others argue to let Pete take the cart. Jason looks betrayed, but no one sides with him.
Weems, Pete, and Les struggle to get the cart out the window. Weems cuts himself on a sharp piece of metal and starts bleeding. They eventually get the cart and Pete outside. Pete makes good progress for a while. Everyone is excited except Jason, and Weems realizes Jason hadn’t been mad at Pete. He’d been “trying to save him” because Jason had the balance wrong on the cart (206).
Flammenwerfer’s front digs into the snow, and the whole thing flips over.
