Guy Montag escapes the city by running (More of a jog because he was partly injected with morphine earlier when the Mechanical Hound attacked him but failed), is nearly run over by a car full of children, and runs into the outskirts of the city. He is nearly caught as the police call for the entire neighboorhood he's running through to "Look out their windows, open their doors, ..." He barely makes it by half a second into a river bank where he can't be seen and floats down that river. (The River kind of represents a change in Montag, unreality of technology and F451, to the reality of the real world), and he ends up at the rusty old railroad tracks Faber was talking about. He continues along the tracks (All the while experiencing the outside world and leisure time, which Faber mentions) and comes across a group of knowledgeables (What Faber was ALSO talking about, how a bunch of hobos lived along the tracks, college professers etc.), and one important one named Granger, who represents Ray Bradbury in some sort of way, by directly showing his ideas.
Happy now? Just helped you with a last minute report/forgot to read and need to know what happened. Or I'm mistaken.
