Chapter 12 Summary

Jim interviews the real estate agent by himself and asks her if she recognizes a drawing that the bank robber might have left. It looks like a child’s drawing of a monkey, a frog, and a horse or giraffe.

Chapter 13 Summary

Jack is angry at the way the former hostage interviews are going and throws his coffee cup. Jim feels sympathy for his son but feels powerless to help. The narrator describes the two men as being very different from each other due to being from very different generations, but they are similar in their shared love for Jack’s late mother. Jack and Jim also both love Jack’s sister, who has an addiction to heroin.

Jim tries to encourage his son by saying that they’re all just doing the best they can, with the hostages and in life more generally, but Jack can’t stop thinking about the man on the bridge.

Chapter 14 Summary

This chapter is a transcript of Jack interviewing a 20-year-old girl named London who works as a bank teller in the bank that the bank robber tried to rob.
