conversations.value: After the First Death: Odd Chapters Ben Marchand is a teenager who is the son of a general for an anti-terrorism group.\nHe is waiting in his room at Castle, his boarding school, waiting for his mother and father to arrive.\nHe is conveying his thoughts to the reader and recalling the events before an incident where he was shot.\nThe incident was the same incident that is explored in the even numbered chapters.\nIn the middle of the novel, the perspective switches from Ben to his father, General Mark Marchand, who left his son's room after a brief conversation and came back to find it empty.\nHe details the series of events that lead him volunteering Ben to deliver a stone to the terrorists on the bus.\nThis resulted in Ben being shot and eventually committing suicide.\nThe last odd numbered chapter is a conversation between Ben and his father, which reveals that Ben is already dead, with his father seemingly imagining he is alive and attempting to revive his son in his head in order to ask for his forgiveness.\n'Ben' reveals that they are not actually in Castle but a mental hospital.\nThis leaves the reader wondering if Ben was even alive writing any of the novel, as Mark could have been writing from the perspective of Ben all along.\nEven Chapters Miro is a Middle Eastern terrorist who is also a teenager.\nHe and three other terrorists, Artkin, Antibbe and Stroll hijack a bus full of preschoolers on a trip to school camp.\nMiro is assigned to kill the driver of the bus.\nArtkin starts handing candies laced with sedatives to the children, knocking them unconscious.\nOne child is killed, Kevin McMann, by the drugs, most likely of an overdose or heart condition.\nBecause of this, Artkin orders Miro not to kill the bus driver right away so that the bus drivers can keep the children on the bus calm.\nFinally, the bus arrives at the bridge.\nMiro explains to the bus driver, Kate, that he hijacked the bus so he could free his homeland.\nHowever, Kate is still determined to escape.\nShe finds two solutions, to use Raymond, a child who has not taken the candy and the keys to the bus.\nKate attempts to drive the bus away from the bridge but the bus's engine suddenly stops.\nThe bus spends the night on the bridge.\nThe next morning, it is revealed that the ransom is starting to be received.\nHowever, the terrorists still need proof about the capture of Sedeete, the leader of the terrorist group.\nA few minutes afterwards, Antibbe was accidentally shot by a sniper, who acted on reflexes.\nThe terrorists kill Raymond for revenge.\nBen Marchand is sent with a stone from their homeland for proof of Sedeete's capture, and to stall for time and wait for a signal from Sedeete.\nBen is tortured for information, and gives the terrorists incorrect information.\nSoldiers surround the bus and attack the terrorists.\nThey kill all the terrorists except Miro.\nHowever, Ben is also shot.\nMiro and Kate escape to the bushes.\nKate tries to convince Artkin is Miro's father.\nMiro does not believe her and shoots her in the heart with a revolver, as he realized she had been manipulating him the whole time.\nIn the end, Miro escapes the incident on a truck.
