In this short scene, the narrator tells us that he's not sure what he'll do when he sees the club scene. He doesn't want to be seen in public, he tells us, and he'd rather die than be seen with a bunch of other people. He's also not sure if the club is going to be a fad, or if it's just going to become a place where people go to hang out and get shot at. The narrator says that he heard a rumor that a gang was responsible for killing a woman in the neighborhood, and that he wishes that the man who killed her wouldn't have done it. He says that when he got to the scene, he almost gagged, but he didn't because he thought he was headed after a gang, not a butcher. He wants to know what's going on, so he offers to show them his "great spirit stone" , which he says will help them find the killer. He also offers to give the narrator some of his own money, so that he won't be tempted to kill the man. He tells the narrator that he can get rid of his annoyances by going to a hotel in the middle of nowhere, like the one in the city. He asks the narrator to tell him where he can find his cab, and the narrator says he can't find it anywhere else. He thinks they'll get along, though, because they're both "too loyal" to be in a cab together. But then the narrator asks him if he plans on killing the man he met at the club. The man says he've been planning to do it for a long time, since they met at school, and they've both been "destined to battle" ever since. He finally asks why the man hasn't told him about the plan before, but the narrator points out that he just wants some answers.
