Part IV, Chapter 3 Summary

Johnny is in the mining hut looking for the keys to an ATV, intent upon saving himself. He continues to hear his ex-wife Terry's voice in his head, and having arguments with her. He seems unwilling to disappoint her, and recognizes he divorced her long ago because she knew him so well. Johnny tries to ignore the bodies around him, tries to focus his mind on saving himself.
