Nancy Tracks Oliver to Pentonville
Nancy, disguised with a clean apron and a basket, goes to the police office and, feigning to be Oliver's heartbroken sister, learns that he has been taken away by a gentleman to Pentonville. She reports this information back to Fagin and Sikes. Sikes immediately leaves to begin searching for Oliver. Fagin, now desperate, orders the boys to skulk about and find Oliver's whereabouts. The net begins to close around Oliver, threatening his newfound safety.
