In the beginning of this chapter, Marcus finally told his mother about all of the things he'd been doing behind his parents' back. She had a mix of emotions, but then told that Marcus that he needed to tell his father about  everything as well. When his father found out what had been going on, he was angry. Not only at Marcus, but also at the government he'd believed was trustworthy.

Drew said that he needed to go on a walk to think about what his son and wife had just told him, and then he decided that his son's story needed to be publicized. Lillian called her news reporter friend Barbara, and then Marcus and his family all went to Rob Glover's house to explain the whole situation. When the family arrived at Rob's house, they were surprised to see him looking like a mess. They were used to him looking very strong and professional, but now he looked sad and lonely.

Marcus and his mother and father told Rob his son was alive, and he'd be able to see him soon. When they told him this and told him about Barbara, he rushed to get his clean and shaven look back. When the four of them arrived at Barbara's house, they began telling the story. Alcohol was brought in because the story was so harsh. When Barbara and Marcus were able to be alone in the room, Marcus finally told her his Xnet identity, M1k3y. Barbara told him his story might change everything going on in San Francisco.
