Best Answer

Roger did not 'shove' his way past Jack. To quote from the book... 'Roger edged past the Chief, only just avoiding pushing him with his shoulder.' Roger was obviously extremely eager to get to the twins so that he could demonstrate the best way to inflict pain on them, for his own personal pleasure. Nevertheless he was careful to avoid brushing against the chief.
