The story continues as you would expect, Nora is still unsure about Patch and Elliot> Nora has an argument with Macier in the library, nothing serious just bitchy comments the security guard chucks out Marcier and Nora leaves by the back enterence into the car park where she comes face to face with Patch, she tells him what has upset her and he offers her a lift home. Once back home Patch gets Nora to agree to go on a date with him, she can't refuse and so she does. As she's getting ready to go out with Patch she gets a visit, she rushes down the stairs is and answers it to see the two police men stood there, they ask her questions about her arguement with Marcier, who as it happens has been attacked, they seem to think she's done it. Nora says the only person she told was Patch and the police aSK IF he could have done this she lies and says and says no. Patch arrives shortly after the police leave and he takes Nora to the pool hall, where after a little tution from Patch, Nora bets with Patch that he won't pot a certain ball, he says if he does she has to take off her jacket, he of course pots the ball and she has to take off her jacket.

We then meet a friend of Patch's called Rixon, the two boys have a bit of a scrap which ends in Patch loosing his shirt, where Nora sees a V shaped scar on patch's back. Rixon says that Patch got his name when he was a bar knuckle fighter, he got Patch from the amount of times they patched him up. Patch and Nora soon leave and go to get some food.
