Chapter Summaries & Analyses
Kyle leaves the hotel room to investigate where BeeBee went and discovers that the candy machine on their floor is broken. BeeBee went to the second floor to use the candy machine there, but then got stuck in the elevator. Kyle is frustrated at himself for letting BeeBee out of the room and frustrated at BeeBee for not telling him that she was going out of sight. Kyle tells the concierge about the elevator and the pizza they ordered for room service arrives. Soon, BeeBee appears in the doorway and Kyle feels “relief and anger mixed in [his] mind like two colors of paint swirling together” (44). He lectures BeeBee on the consequences of walking off alone and scares her as he claims she could have been abducted, threatening to tell their parents. As they begin to eat their pizza, the room starts to shake “as if the entire building had been placed in a large box and now a giant was shaking the box” (48). Kyle tells BeeBee to duck down, and they cover their heads while the earthquake shakes the building. When the earthquake ends, Kyle thinks about the tsunami warning sign they read on the beach earlier and wonders if he and BeeBee should leave the hotel and head for higher ground.
