Chapter 19, "Die ou met die hoodie" reveals Greg's mother boosting security at home, rarely leaving unless accompanied by André, prompting Greg's worry over a potential parental divorce. Greg feels burdened with another likely family misery, assuming his father remains oblivious to André's presence in his mother's life. Meanwhile, Greg busies himself with his studies, rugby practices, and attempts at socializing, finding solace on the field. Greg gets no news from Xander, the red-lipped journalist, nor the biker. Around this time, newspapers report Tom's death, still under a pseudonym as the police seek for his relatives. During his usual routine, Greg spots a man dressed in a hoodie, jeans, and sneakers - standing motionlessly, his gaze aimed directly at Greg. He recognizes physical features similar to Eckardt’s or maybe Xander’s. The man abruptly turns and dashes away, prompting Greg to pursue him, narrowly avoiding the onslaught of oncoming cars.

FULL SUMMARY:
In Hoofstuk 19 van "Donker Web", getiteld "Die ou met die hoodie", begins Greg die dag met besorgdheid oor sy moeder se veiligheid, terwyl hy ook onsekerheid voel oor die moontlikheid van 'n egskeiding tussen sy ma en pa. Hy hou homself besig met studies, rugbyoefeninge en pogings om by 'n groep in te skakel - selfs al is dit net vir 'n kort tyd. Op die rugbyveld voel hy vry en sy wêreld voel reg met die bal in sy hande. Greg sukkel egter nog om 'n antwoord van Xander te kry, en die joernalis, wat hy aanvanklik as 'n bedreiging gesien het, het skynbaar haar storie oor hom laat vaar. As hy sy dag voortgaan, raak hy van 'n ou gewaar wat 'n hoodie dra en wat opvallend stilstaan terwyl hy tussen die mense deurloop. Greg voel dadelik dat daar iets familie daaroor is, en toe hy nader kyk, besef hy dat dit Xander is. Greg begin hom volg, deur die strate en oor die roetine van sy daaglikse lewe, totdat hy hom uiteindelik verloor in die skare by die universiteitsbiblioteek se plein. Hierdie onverwagse verskyning het egter 'n diepe indruk op Greg gelos.
