Rob's funeral passes by, and all who knew him missed him deeply. Gerald began walking home instead of taking the bus every once in a while, so as to clear his head and think about things. One night, coming home at around midnight, he came home and Jordan was alone with Angel. Yet, Jordan wasn't doing anything, and Angel said he was fine. Later, after Angel tried to cheer Gerald up, they started to play around. Jordan walked in just as they were having fun, and he yelled at them, but then he apologized afterward. When Angel got home late in the afternoon after dance, she went to Miss Martin's like usual. However, when she got there, the door was locked. Unconcerned, Angel just went home instead. When she went in, she saw nobody there, so she decided to warm up some hot dogs and turn her music up loud. She almost didn't even notice when Jordan walked into the room, but she could smell his disgusting cologne. Jordan is drunk, and begins molesting her, while Angel refused as much as she could. He yelled that he wasn't actually her father, and then he took her to the bedroom and onto the bed. While all this was happening, the hot dogs on the stove, dried up and ignited a flame, which fed for large flames that began to engulf the kitchen.
Earlier in the chapter, Jordan seems to be trustworthy, which leads me to believe that Jordan is becoming a better person. Yet, this is probably exactly what he wanted the children to think. Since Angel was comfortable with being alone with Jordan, she wasn't afraid of going to her apartment. Hopefully Gerald will be able to jump in and save Angel like he did once before. One can only hope.
