THE CHASE IS ON

1. The Hound attacks Montag because Montag burned the house and killed Beatty.
2.
3. Montag realized that Beatty wanted to die because when Montag threatened Beatty, he didn't try to save himself rather tested him by making him even more mad.
4. Montag went to a gasoline station to get cleaned up and look less suspicious, but he was unconsciously going towards the direction of Faber's house.
5. Montag heard a car's engine and immediately thought it was the police and that they caught him. Montag tried to play it calm but started running then falling, he later realized it wasn't the police.
