Chapter 58 Summary

The detectives get Amy fitted for a wire, a tiny microphone pack to record her conversation with Charlie. During the process, they see the scar from her pacemaker and offer to let her out of the mission, but she insists on remaining a part of it. The detectives arrive at the restaurant where Charlie and Amy made plans, but discover that it closed. Charlie and Amy travel to another location, and the detectives follow.

Chapter 59 Summary

In the car, Danny and Tim try to listen in on Amy and Charlie. Unfortunately, the wireless unit is of poor quality. In the restaurant, Amy realizes that Charlie has dressed for a date. Charlie reveals that he was the topic of conversation on the radio and then relays all the news outlets that have covered his story. Their subsequent conversation is strained, filled with false-starts and half-formed sentences. Amy asks him about his termination, about Reverend Gall, and his history of employment. Charlie answers her questions vaguely, making implications but never confessing his culpability.

Amy takes a moment to recover herself in the bathroom, struggling against anxiety at being so close to Charlie. When she returns to the booth, they continue talking about one of the hospital investigations against him.
