At Dublin Airport, Amy separates from Steve and Rosie as they arrive. Amy tells them to take a taxi into town because Amy has to “see a man about a gun,” and this time the phrase is literal: Amy is going to a quiet suburban house west of Dublin to collect a firearm.

Amy keeps the real reason from Steve and Rosie because Amy still has unfinished business at the airport and does not want to alarm them. Amy senses danger and trusts that instinct, suggesting that Amy expects some kind of imminent threat before the group can continue to Cork.

Rosie confirms that she has booked them into a central Dublin hotel and arranged a helicopter for Tuesday to take them to the vineyard near Cork, since the private hangar at Cork was full on Monday. Rosie tries to persuade Steve to go out drinking that night, but Steve wants to stay in his room and watch films after everything he has been through.

Amy supports Steve’s wish to rest, then sees both Steve and Rosie into a taxi. As Rosie extracts a promise that Amy will join them for drinks later, Amy tells both of them goodnight and says “Love you” to Steve. After the taxi leaves, the chapter ends by making clear that Amy intends to face the danger alone and that surviving the next thirty minutes is not guaranteed.
