Part 3, Chapter 13 Summary: “Cloud Gap”

Crow Daddy picks up the vials of sedatives and a tranquilizer gun at the mail drop. Barry is now covered in red dots, but his ability still works. As the group’s Locator, he senses that Dan and the others might be riding a train. Jimmy pulls into a rest stop near Anniston as Barry starts to scream with the pain of cycling. In a calm moment, Barry says they are nearing Cloud Gap. Now Jimmy has red spots as well. Barry cycles, and it hurts more every time he fades back in.

Abra is quiet at school that day because she is occupying two places at once as a deception tactic. Mentally, she is riding inside of Dan’s body and observing, but she also has to maintain some focus at school. She goes to Emma Deane’s house after her last class. Since Barry is ill, she thinks she can trick him into seeing what she wants him to see, hoping that he will then draw the wrong conclusions, and pass on bad information. She knows Rose could also locate them, but she’s staying out of it because she is scared of Abra.

As she plays Scrabble with Emma, Abra suddenly sees a confusing image of two naked women in her mind, entangled with a naked man.
