The Relationship and Training
This chapter discusses the relationship between John Muhammad and Lee Boy Malvo, with John taking on the role of a father figure and teacher to Lee. Lee converts to John's version of Islam and learns about weapons. John travels to the United States with Lee and his children but leaves Lee in Florida with his mother. John's ex-wife takes legal action to get her kids back, leading to the authorities taking the kids away from John. Lee reunites with John, who is now filled with rage, and their training takes a darker turn. They live in a homeless shelter, isolated from their peers, and John controls every aspect of Lee's life. The chapter covers their intense training, watching action movies and playing video games, and their journey across the country, ultimately heading to the DC area.
