Chapter113-149

After school Christopher goes home and watches some videos untill his Dad comes home. But as soon as he comes in Chris remembers that he has forgotten the book (he is writing) on the kitchen table. His Dad gets really angry and shouts at Chtistopher because he told him so many times not to try to find out more about Wellingtons murder anymore. At one point he grabbs Christophers arm really hard and like we know he doesnt like that at all so he hits him and him and his Dad start to fight. Christopher then has a blackout for a short time which means he cant exactly remember what happend the last coupple of minutes and when he is conscious again he hears his Dad throw away his book outside.
The next day his father excuses for hitting him in the face and takes him to Twycross Zoo to see some animals. There he tells Christopher that he loves him and if something like that happens it´s only because he worries about him. Christopher understands that and spreads his fingers out in a fan to touch his Dads hand to tell him everything is good again (that´s what they do to say that they love each other because Christopher doesn´t like hugging etc.).
