The 5th Wave Chapter 13 Summary

  • Cassie's still remembering the refugee camp. The mood there had often been bleak, though people cheered up some when the weather was nice.
  • Sometimes people at the camp talked about their former lives. Sometimes they debated about what they should do next.
  • Cassie heard someone playing a song and it really upset her. Cheer up, Cassie.
  • She ran into the woods and Crisco, the jewel snatcher, followed her.
  • Crisco wanted to know if Cassie would have sex with him if they only had twenty minutes to live. He's not one for subtlety, huh?
  • The answer to Crisco's question was no. Cassie wasn't interested.
  • Then Crisco wanted to know if Cassie was a virgin. Guess he wasn't done being creepy.
  • And then he got grabby. Cassie got so mad that she punched him in the nose.
  • Crisco started crying because everyone he knows is dead. That's right: he's playing the dead people card.
  • Cassie felt sympathetic and tried to help him staunch his nosebleed.
  • Crisco told Cassie that he's a virgin. He thinks Cassie is one too since she reacted violently to his question.
