Chapter Summaries & Analyses
Jamie screams and tries to run, but Liz twists his arm behind him, forces him to his knees, and snarls at him to shut up. He is struck by the incongruity between this woman and the one who used to kneel on the carpet and play with him.
Jamie reflects that Donnie Marsden is the second person he’s seen shot in the head. Liz forces him to look around, but the dead Marsden isn’t present. She takes him out into the hall and tells him to look again; Marsden isn’t there either. Still trying to justify herself, Liz asks Jamie if he noticed the sandwich beside Marsden’s bed. She tells him that she put it there because she wanted to make him suffer, and that Marsden killed many with his drugs; she adds that given his weight, he probably wouldn’t have lived another five years anyway.
Rambling, Liz tells Jamie that she got the gate code from a UPS delivery man with a coke habit, and then got the house code from the house start, Teddy. Jamie comments that she killed the latter, and she contemptuously affirms this. He realizes he’ll have to summon the deadlight to protect him, but doesn’t want to.
