Summary
Analysis
Harlan gives Roland an envelope. Roland knows it’s from Connor, and it reads that Connor knows what he did and will make him a deal at the FedEx jet. He wonders what Connor is referring to, as he’s been sabotaging generators and stealing laxatives so he can blame things on the Admiral. Roland grabs his knife and heads for the jet.
While the reader already knows that Roland didn’t kill the Goldens or Emby, giving some insight into Roland’s head encourages the reader to empathize with him and understand that just as Sonia said, Roland isn’t an entirely bad person.
