Moon Day, morning
- Luckily Wolff and Sig don't fall through the ice on the way back either; while Sig drives the sled, Wolff is busy rummaging through the papers.
- Sig wonders to himself what happens next. Even if he does find the papers, will he just let them go?
- When they get back to the cabin, they find Anna missing. The ropes are cut and somehow she's escaped, even though Wolff tied her up as tightly as he possible could.
- Wolff is angry now, and when Anna comes back into the room, he hurls her across it.
- Why didn't she run away? Sig wonders. Then he realizes that she was looking for the gun in the storeroom, and couldn't find it.
- Maybe that's because Sig moved it to under the floorboards so he could use it.
- Wolff is getting more and more impatient and yells at them to show him the gold.
- They still don't know where it is, and finally something dawns on Sig: Why hasn't Wolff shot them this whole time? He keeps threatening to, but then never pulls the trigger. What gives?
- Maybe it's something to do with what his dad told him about guns seizing up when they go from cold to warm very quickly—so Sig tells Wolff to shoot him to test his theory.
- Frustrated, Wolff smashes the pistol into the side of Sig's head and it's lights out.
