FULL SUMMARY:
In hoofstuk 9, getiteld "Een van ons", ontmoet Greg 'n klasmaat genaamd Dain February, wat hom aanvaar as 'n mede-Sportwetenskap-student, ongeag sy berugte vader se reputasie. Greg beskou homself agterdogtig as 'n deel van die studentegemeenskap. Later daardie dag, na 'n intense oefensessie, ontmoet Greg Dirk Schutte, Lisa se vader, in die Workout Café. Dirk konfronteer Greg oor sy verlede as 'n hacker en vra of hy nog steeds betrokke is by sulke aktiwiteite. Greg is senuweeagtig en ontwykend, maar bely dat "alles handuit geruk" het. Dirk, wat onthul dat hy 'n voormalige polisieman is, skrik toe hy van sy verlede praat en gee Greg raad om weg te bly van die "donker" aspekte van die wêreld. Hy waarsku dat selfs Stellenbosch onderduimse bedrywighede en skaduryke karakters het. Dirk erken dat sy werk as polisiebeampte hom partykeer getraumatiseer het, maar het geen berou nie. Hy dring daarop aan dat ondanks die feite van sy pa en sy vorige misdade, Greg en sy vriend Plank 'n regverdige kans verdien. Tog waarsku Dirk hulle om nie sy vertroue te beskaam nie, en sê dat indien hulle doen, "alle hel sal losbars". Die hoofstuk eindig met 'n ligter noot wanneer Dirk, ondanks sy voorafgaande ernstige gestemdheid, 'n grappie maak oor 'n toekomstige "ordentlike date" met Greg.
