The two get into an argument, because Van does not want to participate in Marcus's scheming anymore. Van feels that Marcus will get everyone arrested if he continues with his crazy plans. ]]> 2017-09-27 23:53:47 UTC https://padlet.com/oliviabernola/kantq60pr7ia/wish/191899335 oliviabernola https://padlet.com/oliviabernola/kantq60pr7ia/wish/191899717 At the end of the chapter, Marcus walks home from a long day of school. As he strolls down the street, he passes by many cops, who were calling people aside for questioning and bag searches. Once Marcus got home, he sat down and pondered on his day. Later that night, Drew came home and told the family that he had been pulled over and searched on his way home from work.]]> 2017-09-27 23:58:44 UTC https://padlet.com/oliviabernola/kantq60pr7ia/wish/191899717 oliviabernola https://padlet.com/oliviabernola/kantq60pr7ia/wish/191922173 Marcus was a criminal in this chapter, because he was trying to have his friend Van help him with illegal online tactics. ]]> 2017-09-28 03:14:21 UTC https://padlet.com/oliviabernola/kantq60pr7ia/wish/191922173 oliviabernola https://padlet.com/oliviabernola/kantq60pr7ia/wish/191922693 On page 126, Van says, "You're psycho, Marcus. You're going to put all your little Xnet buddies in danger for their lives, and on top of it, you're going to turn the whole city into terrorism suspects."
This means that Van thinks Marcus is nuts for trying to endanger the lives of thousands of people, just to prove a point.]]> 2017-09-28 03:20:45 UTC https://padlet.com/oliviabernola/kantq60pr7ia/wish/191922693 oliviabernola https://padlet.com/oliviabernola/kantq60pr7ia/wish/191922947 On page 125, Marcus says, " Seriously. We can do this. We can mess up the profiles easy. Getting the people pulled over is easy."
This means that Marcus is trying to screw up other peoples "profiles," or FasTraks, to make everyone look guilty.]]> 2017-09-28 03:22:51 UTC https://padlet.com/oliviabernola/kantq60pr7ia/wish/191922947 oliviabernola https://padlet.com/oliviabernola/kantq60pr7ia/wish/191923074 Marcus has traveled to different locations throughout San Francisco.
