Fleeing to London, she narrowly escapes being run over by a taxi and is saved by Marco, who we know later gives false directions to her pursuers. She finds temporary shelter in Hong Kong with a friend, Huw Llewelyn, where she also recounts witnessing the death of Neal Brose. When agents attempt to ransack her apartment, she flees to Mongolia, where she shares a train compartment with Sherry, the Australian backpacker. While on the run, she develops a new theory of quantum cognition, which she writes down in a little black book.
