Chapter 17

Chapter 17- Matt tries to talk to Rosa when he goes to get his Safe Horse, but she never continues the conversation. He rides past the poppy fields and to his cave. He begins reading his book and sees El Patrons name. It tells of him being a drug dealer and that drugs were illegal. Matt can't continue the book because of the negative things it says towards El Patron. As he headed back, he stopped by the water purification plant. He wants to free the eejits. He can smell the dead fish and chemicals and sees where the waste goes. It goes to a bunch of buildings. He starts to pass out and these two people yank him up and drag him out. They think him an eejit. They then think he's an Illegal and start to take him to the hospital. Matt says if they do that, he'll tell the doctor how they treated El Patron's clone. They begin to talk to him about the eejit pens. They talk about where they are from to Matt and he thinks about how awful it sounds. He realizes why they aren't there anymore. They are murderers on the run. They tell him that Tam Lin tried to kill the prime minister by putting a bomb outside him house in London. They drop him off and quickly drive away as he walks in.

I read 11 pages.

Interesting Quotation: ""You do that," Matt repeated, "and I'll tell the doctor how you treated El Patron's clone."" Matt knows if he bosses people around like he's El Patron, he can get out off anything. He can just tell people he is El Patron's clone and they know not to mess with him.
