"The Killers End" is the title of this chapter's epigraph. It's a reference to the fact that some people don't like the assassination laws, and that's why they're so afraid of them. The narrator says that he's sure the n'a'c is using the laws to kill people all over the country. He says that if someone scratches the paint on his car, he won't have to sign a contract to kill them. He also says that, if someone steals one of his malt, he doesn't need to sign one either. He's not worried about losing his license, though, because he'll be able to drive without a contract. He tells the narrator that he has a message for him: the carrier company wants compensation for the truck driver's death. The carrier company is asking for payment, and the narrator wants to know what's going on. The man says that back when he was getting paid, he never felt that he needed a contract, and now that he carries a gun, he can't even feel right without one. He wants to buy stock in the gun manufacturer, and he says that everyone's got to have a weapon of choice. He adds that he thinks the woman in his life likes him because she likes him so much. He asks if the woman likes him, and she replies that she does. He then says that the man who killed him was a hired killer for a "white collar" in a high-tax bracket. The killer's business went under, and his brothers lost their jobs since they left for freelance work. The two hired killers, he says, are "perfect 28 and o." The narrator asks if they've gotten their names, and they say yes. They're planning to move up to a bigger house. He mentions that he set up a time bomb for a target in his office, but he had no place to set it, so he just used a remote detonation.
