Part 2, Chapter 34 Summary

Garrigan soon realizes that he has emerged from the forest close to Mbarara, and he heads for what he now thinks of as civilization. As he arrives in the center of town, he sees some soldiers beating other boys. He thinks he sees Gugu's face, and is determined that he will not lose the boy, after all of his other losses.
