When the media was at a press conference to discuss the shocking accusations, The Professor launched his second missile. Then it was time for the final missile. The Paris plan worked. But that was all part of the plan. Once she was secured, a civilian woman who looked like Lisbon took her place and was taken to prison. The plan almost went off without a hitch.

The Widow Douglas comes to care for him. When Huck hears a discussion about the Temperance Tavern break-in, he jumps up from his fever and asks if anything had been found.
He is told that only whiskey had been found. When he asks about Tom Sawyer, they keep Tom's disappearance from him.
The search for Tom and Becky continues for three days. They find a hair-ribbon and the children' names lettered on the wall--proof that they are still in the cave. Despair settles in when the men no longer have either hope or energy to keep looking. These two chapters describe the various activities of the entire group in the cave, and the return home, then abruptly change to a narration about Huck Finn's adventures in town. Twain does not return to Tom and Becky's adventures in the cave until Chapter 31, but the reader must remember that both Tom and Becky are in the cave with its many passageways and unknown areas.
Although the reader is not aware of it yet, this is the scene of Tom's most perilous adventure and the only one that involves Becky Thatcher.

With Tom in the cave, we see Huck Finn acting on his own. Until this point, we have only seen Huck in relation to Tom, and when Tom is around, Tom is the leader of the two. He is the one with the education; he is also the one who is a respected member of society and the one who is expected to know what should be done in any situation. Huck has always been agreeable to Tom's suggestions and leadership, and he does what Tom wants him to do.
