That number is a date: the date they will die. Burdened with such awful awareness Jem avoids relationships. Until she meets Spider another outsider and takes a chance. The two plan a trip to the city. But while waiting to ride the Eye ferris wheel Jem is terrified to see that all the other tourists in line flash the same number. Todays number. Todays date. Terrorists are going to attack London. Jems world is about to explode!
