What happens in chapter 7?

Brogan continues to pursue Will, but several of the circus crew bring him to see Mr. Dorian. Mr. Dorian hides Will in one of his trunks when Brogan, now under the name of Brinley, comes in trying to find Will. Brogan gives up on the search and Will has the chance to talk to Mr. Dorian. Mr. Dorian believes that Will couldn’t be a murderer and agrees to help hide him. Will gets reunited with Maren, who returns the Sasquatch tooth to him. She reveals that he’s the only reason she got the job at the circus, as Will had made mention of her to Mr. Dorian.

Will is nervous, but he’s happy to hear that Maren had held onto the tooth for so long, hoping it was because she was thinking of him. She asks about his drawing which also makes him happy. They talk with Mr. Dorian and he tells him about everything that happened with Brogan. Maren suggests that he disguises himself by working in their circus so he can sneak out and make his way towards his father. Elsewhere, Brogan talks with the other brakeman working underneath him to rob the train. He tells them that Will has to be stuck in the circus train and that they’re going to find him and stop him from talking.
