Chapters 8 and 9 Summary

Chapter 8 -The Lap Of Luxury-

Alex arrives at Neverglade, the castle home of the Drevins. He is greeted by Paul, who shows him around the place. At the end of the day they still hadn't seen the entire property, but it is time for dinner with Paul and his father. During dinner Nikolei talks exclusively to Alex, all but ignoring his own son. After dinner, Alex snoops around a little and wanders into Nikolei's private study. He sees pictures of Nikolei with many different celebrities and politicians. There are also newspaper clippings, and one is of Nikolei standing by the tower in which Alex was imprisoned. Nikolei Drevin had bought it just a few days prior to the kidnapping. Nikolei arrives and tells Alex that he does not want him in there anymore, and Alex goes to bed.
