Chapter Twenty-Four: "The low murmur of harmonizing voices drew Denny into consciousness. His head throbbed, a dull ache emanating from the spot on the back of his skull where he’d been struck, and he didn’t want to open his eyes at first, fearing that any light might make the pain worse, but as he cracked his eyelids, he saw that illumination was not only minimal, but it was coming from only a single source.
The dregs of an afternoon sun stretched across the scarred concrete floor to where Denny lay crumpled against a plywood wall."

Chapter Twenty-Two: "Before he slid he key into the lock, Denny could feel that something had changed. He’d only been gone for an hour. Two, max. But he could sense the shift. In the energy, the atmosphere.
Slender copper key pinched between thumb and forefinger, inches from the deadbolt, plastic motel diamond keychain swinging under his palm like a divining crystal, Denny stared at the fading paint on the carport door, and felt frozen.
Behind him, the rain began sheeting down, seeming to close off an escape back to the safety of his vehicle."
