The chapter opens with a description of a recent increase in the number of murders in the neighborhood. It is said that the victims were returning home after a late night work shift. The boss tells the girl not to be afraid, as she is not young and will be fine. The tattoo on the boss's back is described as a "demon-face tattoo" , which is used to ward evil people off. He tells her to keep the tattoo as a tip, as he will be leaving before dark, lest he run into a bad guy. He watches a game without drinking, and the game is not bad. He wants to go back and watch the game again, but he is interrupted by the ghost of the dead hero. The ghost tells him that he must be the hero on the news, since he is late, and tells him to just walk away. He then tells the ghost to stop talking to him, as it is his fault for being so nosy. He goes on to tell the ghost that he should not go out at night, because he is built, so he will not be in danger. He says that he will come back the next time he sees the ghost.
