The chapter opens with Petrov's return from the battlefield. Petrov thanks Petrov for coming back, and Petrov tells Petrov to go to bed. He's not sure if Petrov is going to come back, but he's sure that Petrov will soon be leaving the area. He also says that he'd like to teach Petrov some manners, since Petrov used to be a good friend of Lazarus's. He says that, like many people, he hates the way that the army hangs around his hideout. He doesn't like the idea of having to fight with the army, and he says that killing bugs wasn't enough to keep him from being tortured by the army. He goes on to say that if he were to kill Petrov, the owner of the brothel where Petrov works would kill him, and that's just a bad idea. He warns Petrov not to hurt Petrov or anyone else in the brothel, because if he does, the brothel owner will kill him. The chapter ends with the chapter's most famous line: "If you hurt /kara , . . the owner . will kill you" . This is a really important line, because it's the one that'll determine whether or not Petrov gets to stay in the area or not.
