Unwind Chapter 11 Summary

How It All Goes Down

Connor

  • The kids or felons or Unwinds or whatever you want to call them find a newspaper in a bush.
  • There's a story about the highway incident, but no mention of the escaped teens.
  • This worries them, because if they're not mentioned, that might mean the police just want to hunt them and kill them, not capture them.
  • While they're just standing in the middle of the sidewalk reading a newspaper, a school bus pulls up as a cop car drives by.
  • They realize they need to get on the bus if they're pretending to be normal teenagers—but nearby a baby cries.
  • Connor cannot bear to see a storked baby, a sight he'd seen "twice on his own doorstep" (2.11.44), so he goes and takes the crying baby.
  • Risa plans to say its hers and they board the bus, "three fugitives with a baby" (2.11.72).
