One Came Home Chapter 16 Summary

  • Georgie and Billy explore the cave together and discover a whole lot of counterfeit bank notes.
  • Georgie also discovers she doesn't like being in caves and is perhaps a bit claustrophobic. She sits down to recover and thinks about how much has happened in the last four months. Again.
  • Then Billy finds the printing press with plates.
  • They put two and two together and realize Mr. Garrow is a counterfeiter, and he's probably already after them, so they need to get out of Dodge pronto.
  • They break camp, trying to make it look like they were never even there.
  • Georgie still hasn't had any sleep, and now they're riding at night. They ride all night, trying to cover their tracks and confuse anyone following them.
  • Georgie thinks they make it off the trail and onto Old Miller Road.
  • At daybreak, they camp again, and Georgie falls asleep fast.
