Left Behind: Chapter Twenty
At the Pan-Con Club: Chloe and Rayford, waiting for Hattie. Hattie shows up. Buck shows up, following Hattie and hoping to interview the pilot of his flight during the Rapture. Buck takes a shine to Chloe. Chloe takes a shine to Buck. Ray talks Rapture and Jesus and conversion to Hattie, while also talking adultery, immaturity, and other shortcomings. Hattie's torch for Ray is extinguished. She does not seem to take a shine to Jesus. Buck arranges an interview with Ray. Ray will share with Buck his Rapture theory of the disappearances and his conversion story.
