Montag gets to Fabers house and starts conversating with him, Montag is starting to regeret his actions, Faber suggest Montag sticks to the railroad tracks as they are abandoned and only other criminals and the homeless use it, Faber also removes a picture from the wall and reveals a TV and they watch the news report on Montag. A new mechanical hound from another district will be hunting Montag down. and the hound is to be followed with cameras for everyone to see. Montag wonders if there is a phrase or a word that he could say in his last moments to wake society up, then he leaves Fabers house and tells Faber to burn everything he touched, and wipe the doorknobs down with alcohol, and other things like this to make an extra precaution. Montag also asks Faber to get him a suitcase full of dirty cloths, and after that Montag is off and out that back door. Montag is on the run from the mechanical hound when everyone is watching on the run he stops by to look in peoples houses on their TV's and he sees the hound neer Fabers house and worries when it stops at he house, but the hound never went their. On the seashell radios that everyone has their is an announcement that in 10 seconds everyone is to look outside, because if everyone looks theirs no way they can't find Montag, but on the last second Montag makes it to the river just in time and starts to swim across it. Montag swims all the way across the river, just to look back and see the shape of the hound, and Montag thinks this is too much for one man. Montag gets to one of the camps and meets Granger, Granger predicts that because it will take too long to find Montag the hound will be used to kill an innocent and he would be framed as Montag, his prediction was correct. Granger asks Montag to join them but he must first offer something to them, Montag would offer something but he has no more books, he offers the Book of Ecclesiastes, they wonder where the book is and Montag points to his head, Granger then goes on by saying everyone is a book and he starts pointing to the individuals and quoting famous books and famous writers. On the walk further the war started, and ended, in an instant, they had bombed Montags city, Montag cried out for Clarisse, Mildred, and Faber to get out of the city, but then he remembered that Clarisse was dead, Faber was already out of the city, and Mildred, he imagined her death, and then he remembered where they had met for the first time, something that at the beginning of the book he had been struggling to figure out. Montag remebers a quote from the Book of Ecclesiastes. The final pages (167-179) are about the author, and his life of writing.
