Chapter 10 Summary

Miles enters camo-mode so Mr. Chamberlain doesn’t see him and tries to match his brisk pace. Mr. Chamberlain enters a door on the edge of the school auditorium; the door leads to a tunnel that Miles has never seen before. They walk through what Miles assumes is the sewer for 20 minutes before they reach a field with a single castle-like building standing tall in its center. Miles recognizes other landmarks in the area: barbed wire, fences, and a sign reading “department of corrections.” He realizes they’re at the prison where he visited Austin earlier that day. He follows Mr. Chamberlain into the building and discovers that it’s the building he’s been seeing in his dreams.

Miles watches as a group of men surround one elderly man. The man, who is addressed as the “Warden,” greets all of the men, calling them the “Chamberlains.” They discuss several children, all of whom are African American. They state that they are going to “snatch” the children when it’s easiest. Eventually, Miles’s Mr. Chamberlain speaks up, exposing that he is targeting Miles and is aware of his identity as Spider-Man. Mr. Chamberlain framed Miles for stealing the Campus Convenience store’s sausages and claims he is close to “breaking” him.
