Chapter Summaries & Analyses
Jane does not understand why Mitchell wants to visit Elsa but agrees to go along.
Jane listens to several voicemails from Charnoble, all praising Mitchell for predicting the hurricane: FutureWorld was the only firm that did so, and Mitchell has become a media star. People are calling him “the Prophet”, and he has several messages requesting interviews. Charnoble is excited about the prospect of FutureWorld becoming “mega.”
Mitchell and Jane decide to part ways with Charnoble, but Jane wants to open their own consulting firm called Future Days and give Mitchell exclusive credit for predicting the disaster. Mitchell accuses Jane of having this idea all along, and she admits she has been thinking about it throughout the storm. Mitchell receives a call from one of his clients, Harold Harding, who thanks Mitchell for his advice. He says the flood plan Mitchell put together for his employees worked perfectly. Harding expresses anger that Charnoble made Mitchell stay behind in the storm. Mitchell agrees to open Future Days with Jane, but he wants to go visit Elsa first.
Mitchell and Jane join the throngs of refugees leaving the New York City area. Connecticut was also hit by the storm—not as badly, but travel is excruciatingly slow.
