Chapter 19 Summary: “Andrew”
Andrew and Jamie arrive at Reagan National Airport. They make their way through the parking lot and onto the tarmac, finding the fence cut away in several places. Abandoned planes litter the runway, covered in dirt. There are no people around.
Jamie points to one of the planes, a large private jet. He tells Andrew that he saw movement inside. They yell, but no one answers.
Behind them, the boys hear the chain link fence move. They turn with their guns raised and find a boy about their age. At the same time, two children—a girl who is about 12 and a younger boy—emerge at the door to the plane. Andrew and Jamie assure them that they don’t plan on hurting anyone, then lower their guns.
The boy introduces himself as Chris. He tells them that the other two are his siblings. He asks if they are there because of the rumors of help from the EU. He apologizes to them, then brings out a binder.
Inside the binder, Andrew reads through intelligence briefings from the United States. The newest is from December 17. In it, there are messages from Europe that say the “quarantine failed.
