Chapter 7 Summary: “Eli Frieden”

Back at school, Tori distributes the Purple People Eater cards that Randy left in the treehouse. Eli explains that he and Randy took snapshots of individual Surety agents and gave them funny nicknames and fictitious biographies. His classmates are now trading these images around like baseball cards. After class, Eli and Tori discuss Randy’s statement that some kids in town are “special.” Tori admits that she once got the same symptoms as Eli when she strayed near the city limit. However, she didn’t mention the incident to anyone after her bout of nausea passed.

That night, a huge thunderstorm hits Serenity while Eli is checking the internet for an entry on the Boston Tea Party. The web page explains that this was a peaceful tea party between the colonists and the British in which everyone agreed that America should be a separate country. A lightning strike outside briefly knocks out the power, and when the power returns, Eli sees a completely different version of the Boston Tea Party on the internet and learns of the American Revolution.

His father enters his room to say that he needs to check on something at the school building. Eli looks out the window to see his father driving toward the factory instead of the school.
