After restocking their supplies, Roland and Susannah find Richard Sayre’s office. Inside, they find files containing information on the ka-tet. They examine paintings of the Dark Tower, created by an artist named Patrick Danville (the name of the artist in Insomnia, as referenced in Part 3). Susannah asks Roland whether she and Oy will die “in order to open [his] way to the Tower” (447). Roland believes that they will be beside him when he enters the Tower, though they both doubt this to be true. As well as food and cooking tools, Susannah takes three cans of Sterno (a fuel for portable stoves). When they sleep, Susannah dreams of Eddie and Jake in New York City. The phrase, “[W]atch out for Dandelo” (450), remains with her when she wakes up, but she is unsure what it means.

Before they enter the catacombs beneath Fedic, Susannah makes Roland promise to kill her if any of the monsters are about to eat them. Roland declines. Instead, he gives her one of his guns.
