- - - - Chapters 3: Michael shines the light across tea chests, and that is when he sees the man, sitting with his legs in front of him and his back against the wall. He is dusty and dirty, and his face is pale. The man asks, in a squeaky, unused voice, what he wants. Michael hears his Dad calling before he can reply, and he rushes out. Dad admonishes him gently and tells him staying out of the garage is for his own good.
        
        Chapter 4: It is almost dawn when Michael ventures into his parents’ room. He looks down at his sister. Her heart is beating fast, and she seems hot. He wonders if she is going to die, and he remembers her in the hospital with tubes and wires. Mum wakes and softly asks what he wants. He says "nothing" and goes back to his room. He wonders what the man with the cobwebs in his hair wants.
        
        Chapter 5: Michael did not change schools when they moved, even though it is now a longer bus ride to get there. He watches the people on the bus and thinks about how you never really know what is going on in people’s lives. He could stand up and say that there is a man in their garage and his sister is sick, but he isn’t going to. At lunch, Michael cannot be bothered with his friends and goes and sits alone on the edge of the field. Mrs. Dando, one of the yard ladies, comes over to try to make conversation and give him one of the gumdrops she gives to the kids who are sad, but he rejects it.
        
        Chapter 6: After Dad goes upstairs to take a bath, Michael decides he is going to go into the garage. He tiptoes inside with his flashlight and hears the scuttling and scratching. He tells himself he is stupid; he was dreaming, and he would never see the man again. But he does.
        
        Chapter 7: The man hasn’t moved. He sighs and asks in his squeaky voice for an aspirin. Michael tells him that they’re going to clean out the rubbish and that the garage could collapse. The man’s face is pale, and his black suit is dirty. He pops a spider into his mouth. Michael asks if he is Ernie Myers. The man is disdainful of that and asks Michael what he wants. Michael replies nothing. He tells the man he can come inside; the man laughs but does not smile. Michael asks if there’s anything the man would like to eat, and he replies "27 and 53"; Michael is confused. The man tells him to go away. A voice asks if he is the new boy. Michael turns around and sees a girl’s head sticking above the wall. He says yes, and she says she is Mina. He stares at her. She says, “Well?”, and he is confused. Finally, he says his name; she tells him it is nice to meet him and jumps down.
        
        Chapter 8: After Dad’s bath, he says there is no food in the house and asks if they should order Chinese. Michael says he wants 27 and 53. Dad laughs at his quick response. The family eats their dinner and Mum tries to ask about Michael’s school, but then the baby throws up. Michael leaves half his food and Dad reaches for it, but Michael teases him that he can’t get fat. When no one is looking, he tips it into the takeout tray and takes it to the outside bin.
