Silas wakes up in the hospital bed next to Larry’s. After surgery, the doctors told him that his arm will likely recover after some extensive therapy, and Silas asked to be put into the same room as Larry. Silas was surprised when French agreed. Now in the same room together, Larry turns on the news, which covers what happened between Silas and Wallace. After being shot by Silas, Wallace ran into the woods and shot himself. The police find new evidence in Wallace’s trailer, like a wallet belonging to Tina Rutherford, and Wallace becomes the top suspect in her murder. Once Larry realizes Silas has woken up, Larry mutes the television and tells Silas, “You’re a hero” (254). However, when Silas tries to pick up the conversation, Larry turns the volume on again. Silas tells Larry that they are brothers and asks Larry if he knew. Larry understood there was some strange connection between them, especially after his mother gave Alice and Silas their old coats. Silas tells Larry he used to wish he was him, and Larry returns, “Bet you don’t wish it now” (256). Larry calls for the nurse and asks for her to start the paperwork to transfer him out of Silas’s room.
