Summary- Brain Cochran who was the head of sales noticed that sales were dropping at an alarming rate. He thought he made a mistake but he hadn't, sales had been down for a whole week. Brother Leon was not happy about this. Sales were worse than last year. Some students have sold over forty boxes but that couldnt make up for the rest of the students. Goober told Jerry he was quitting the team. Goober says that he has to quit the team because of something with Brother Leon. Archie and Brother Leon get into an arguement because Brother Leon was blaming Archie because he wasnt doing a good job promoting the chocolate. Brother Leon wants Archie to force Jerry to sell the rest of the chocoaltes. Leon says that if the sales go down the drain, so will the Vigils.
Quotation- "Nine or ten Vigil members were present, including Carter who was getting tired of ths Vigil crap,especially when it meant he had to miss boxing, and Obie who looked forward to the meeting with pleasure, wondering how Archie would proceed." (Cormier 166)
Reaction- This quote allows you to see that most of the Vigils stopped caring about what was going on. Carter didnt really like going to the meetings becuase he had to miss boxing. This part of the books show how Brother Leon is abusing his power as head of the school. He threatens that the Vigils will be no more if the sales dont improve. The only reason why Brother Leon needs the money is because he is 20,000 dollars in debt for buying that chocolate.
