Chapters 41-55Chapter Summaries & Analyses

Chapter 41 Summary

The bank robber is feeling sorry for herself, and Ro suggests that they at least order some pizza to cheer her up, because “in hostage films the police always provide pizza!” (179). Roger organizes the pizza delivery to feel useful.

Chapter 42 Summary

Jack and Jim search the apartment to see if Jack’s theory is true; he believes that the bank robber must be hiding in the extra space not listed on the floor plans. They eventually find an attic passageway in the closet, and Jack climbs up and finds Lennart’s rabbit head costume.

Chapter 43 Summary

Roger takes everyone’s pizza order. When he’s finished, he attaches the order to a lime and throws it off the balcony to the waiting cops below. The lime hits Jack in the head and it “makes one hell of a bump” (187) on his head.
