Liam and Zu fall asleep in a tent in Walmart, but Ruby can’t sleep. She hears Greg and his friends whispering in the tents nearby. She gets up to guard the tent, but Chubs has had the same idea. Ruby and Chubs agree that Greg and the other boys will try something, and they should keep watch. They discuss how hard it was for Liam to come back to the Walmart, as it is the place he was captured, and they agree that he can be too trusting. Chubs talks about his parents; his father was a surgeon from Washington D.C., and his mother had worked for the Department of Defense. Ruby flips through Zu’s notebook and sees a book review inside that Chubs wrote, which embarrasses him. He says he communicated with his parents through coded online reviews like this one. He tells her his real name, Charles Carrington Meriwhether IV, but says to continue calling him Chubs.

In the very early morning, after Chubs has fallen asleep, Ruby remembers the radio from Greg’s memories and figures out that 540 is a radio station. She wakes up Chubs, and she goes to find a radio in the store. They tune into 540 AM, and there is a message in a frequency aimed at Psi that specifies Lake Prince, Virginia.
