I know who the characters in Run Away are and understand the way it is structured

In Chapter 6, Simon knows Detective Isaac Fagbenle is goading him into a response, but he is so afraid that Paige had been killed that he does not care. 

Isaac finally says that Aaron was murdered and he does not know where Paige is. He asks Simon to account for his whereabouts the previous evening. 

     What does Simon say?

In Chapter 7, Ashley “Ash” Davis and Diane “Dee Dee” Lahoy are together in a car. 

Dee Dee is beautiful and has been abused by men her entire life. Ash is devoted to her and she loves him platonically. 

Ash notes that Kevin's murder “couldn't be like Chicago” (62).

What does she refer to?  

In Chapter 8, Simon returns home. He and Ingrid walk the dog and talk. Ingrid said police questioned her. 

They arrive at Mott Haven, the community where Paige and Aaron were living. 

When they reach the apartment where Paige had lived, they meet a man who introduces himself only as “a friend.” He is later identified as Cornelius.

There are clues throughout the novel, and some of them are hidden in incidental comments and statements so that the reader will not pay attention. Can you think of an example?

Who is Cornelius? He seems to be a minor character when he is first introduced. What could happen to make him more important?

In Chapter 9, Simon and Ingrid follow Cornelius's directions to find Rocco.

Someone recognizes Simon from the video of him striking Aaron in the park. A moment later, a man named Luther enters

What happens next? 

Chapter 10 reverts to Ash and Dee Dee. They are preparing to kill their next target, a tattoo artist named Damien Gorse. 

Ash waits for Damien outside his tattoo parlor. 

What happens next? 

Chapter 11 returns to Simon's point of view. 

Why does Simon call 911? 

Who is Yvonne? 

Who is interrogating Simon? 

In Chapter 12, the doctor says Ingrid is in a coma. Simon can barely think. 

Simon and Yvonne see Ingrid, who is comatose.

In Chapter 13, Simon picks up his quest by going back to the apartment building where Aaron and Paige were living, and goes to see Cornelius.

Why does Cornelius give a gun to Simone? 

Why does Elena show up in Aaron's apartment? 

The author uses literary devices throughout the novel, including metaphors, similes, and analogies. 

One example appears when Simon and Ingrid arrive at the place where Rocco is dealing drugs. 

Simon sees four people who “were sprawled out as though they had no bones or were old socks someone had casually tossed there” (83).

Why is the imagery of this description is important? 

A similar description takes place later in the scene when they see a large man stand up, “like Godzilla wading out of the water” and walk toward them “like a planet with two feet” (84).

Discussion Question 1: 

Who are Luther and Rocco? How does Simon find them? What happens during that encounter?

Discussion Question 2: 

Who is Damien? How does he die?
