Chapter Summaries & Analyses

Chapter 5 Summary: “Here Be Dragons”

As Cheyenne cries silently, she remembers all the times she has cried over the past three years. Her mother, who died in the accident that left Cheyenne blind, was the one who had really known her and taken care of her because her father travelled so much. In the hospital after the accident, Cheyenne would sometimes wake up to her father crying.

Now, Cheyenne’s chest aches, and she wishes that her guide dog Phantom was with her. She believes none of this would have happened if he had been with her in the car. Cheyenne begins to think about how she can turn her blindness into an advantage; she knows she notices things with her other senses. She falls asleep. Waking up when they arrive at Roy and Griffin’s home, she hears Duke, a half-pit bull guard dog, barking. Roy then approaches the car, and Griffin explains what has happened. Roy slaps Griffin, asking why he has brought Cheyenne to their home. Griffin reassures him that she cannot describe them because she is blind.

Chapter 6 Summary: “In Case the Law Comes Looking”

TJ and Jimbo, Roy’s friends, emerge from the barn and admire the stolen Escalade. Roy orders TJ and Jimbo back to the shopping center to pick up the Honda that Griffin has left behind.
