Part 13, Chapter 83 Summary

Sammy tells Cassie that the children are waiting to be evacuated on a plane. Cassie considers sneaking onto the plane with the other children but discounts it; Evan told her about some escape pods they could use. However, she doesn’t know how to find the escape pods. Finally, she decides they must get out of the area. Cassie walks Sammy out into the corridor where they encounter a young doctor (Zombie). Sammy surprises her by running to the doctor and pulling his mask off, revealing Ben Parish. The younger explains their new names, that Ben is Zombie and he himself is Nugget. Ben tells Cassie that Vosch is the enemy, and she surprises him by saying she already knows. They decide to get Sammy out together.
