    "Did you seriously just… notice that I'm into him?"
    Cassie stared at him for a long, quiet moment before she inhaled loudly and spoke even louder.
    "You're WHAT?"
    "Jesus." He looked around, as if anyone could hear them. "Quiet, would you?"
    "Dennis Whitaker?" She asked, her eyes wide as she looked at him in disbelief. "You're into Dennis Whitaker? Your med student Dennis Whitaker?"
    "Well, isn't this what we're talking about for fuck's sake?"
    "No!" She hissed, putting her hands in her hair. "It's about me and Victoria!"
    Robby frowned, shaking his head.
    "What about you and Victoria?" He asked, and as the words left his mouth, he finally realised what was going on. "Oh my God."

    McKay wants to talk to Robby about the inappropriate feelings she has towards a med student under her care, not knowing that Robby is dealing with the exact same problem of his own. To make it worse, neither of them know that Dennis and Victoria are working together to make them snap.

    Summary

    Hank Olson begins the walk cracking jokes, insulting the other competitors, speaking familiarly to the Major – the military figure in charge of the Walk. He seems confident and sure of himself. Peter McVries says in conversation with Ray Garraty that he thinks none of the hundred Walkers had fully understood the reality that the Walk does not end until all but one of the boys has been killed – not until the first boy is shot dead on the road.

    What makes The Long Walk so intense is the relationships that form between the boys as they walk – strangers to each other (mostly – there are two brothers walking together, though they don’t enter this story), friendships and almost-love-affairs more intense than any they could have had in any previous life. The novel focuses on Ray Garraty, who Walks through the novel in a state of almost innocence, down the road with his closest friends dying around him: Hank Olson, whose story “Hank’s Walk” tells, has his own focus and purpose, which keeps him going through exhaustion and out the other side: this story shadows and echoes King’s novel, looking at the first 36 hours of the Walk from another person’s eyes.
