Alicia wakes in the night to find The Kid once again in her room. With him are two other shadowy figures who have with them a trunk. When they open the trunk, a ventriloquist’s dummy comes out. Alicia eventually begins to recognize the dummy, who by now is speaking to her. He has an abrasive personality and speaks crudely to Alicia and The Kid. Finally, Alicia calls the dummy by its name, Crandall.
A few days after his visit with Borman, Bobby meets with John Sheddan. John discusses his own views on women, revealing a misogynistic outlook. Similar to his previous conversations with John, Bobby does not say much. Bobby then runs into another friend of his named Webb. He buys Webb some cigarettes and they chat for a bit. Bobby mentions to Webb that he senses that people might be pursuing him. The next day, he goes to pick up his car and the clerk at the storage facility tells him that his car has been impounded by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Bobby then pays a visit to the IRS offices and speaks with an agent. Bobby is elusive and aloof to the agent’s questions and it turns out that he is under investigation for tax evasion.
