Chapters Nineteen - Twenty Summary

In Chapter Nineteen, Susannah discovers that Marcus's plan includes putting Tad and herself out to sea, after concocting a story that the teenagers took out the yacht to go jet-skiing, did not wear their life jackets and drowned in the choppy waters. Marcus leaves Susannah in Mr. Beaumont's office for five minutes so she can change into a swimsuit. Susannah concocts her own plan, as Tad lay unconscious.
