Jonah and Katherine download the pictures onto Chip’s computer. Katherine tells the boys the “file of papers came from a ghost” (104). When Jonah and Chip do not believe her, she describes what happened: a janitor appeared, took the file out of a cabinet, set it on the desk, and then disappeared. She nicknames the janitor JB. The boys still do not believe her. Katherine describes JB, and Jonah recognizes him as the janitor from the bathroom who seemed to disappear right before Jonah’s mother knocked on the door. Jonah calls his mother to ask if she saw anyone else come out. His mother says no.

The first name on the witnesses list is Angela DuPre, but the rest of the list is jumbled because Katherine’s pictures were off center. Jonah believes the people on the list “don’t have any connection to me” (109), until Chip manipulates the images. There is a second list titled “survivors.” The last two names on that list are Jonah Skidmore and Chip Winston.

Jonah tells Chip to close the files. He is overwhelmed and wants to “pretend none of this ever happened” (111). He refuses to investigate further and goes home, leaving Katherine at Chip’s house. It is dark out, and Jonah’s mind plays tricks on him while he walks. When he gets closer to his house, he looks in through his bedroom window. There is someone in his room, looking around with a flashlight.

Jonah runs home, ready to be mad at his parents for snooping, but they are both downstairs. Jonah runs up to his room, but no one is there. Dejected, Jonah sits down and absently stares at his haphazardly tossed school stuff. He notices one of the mysterious notes that “he knew he’d left in the back of his top drawer” on the pile (121). Jonah goes back to Chip’s to get Katherine. Chip and Katherine called everyone on the witnesses list while Jonah was away. The two people they talked to hung up after saying never to call again. Jonah is freaked out. To hide his anxiety, he tells Katherine “you don’t know what you’re talking about” (126).
