Chapter 38: Kid Sister
Yossarian bears the news of Nately's death to the whore in Rome. Heartbroken and furious, she brutally assaults Yossarian with animalistic rage. She has always hated Yossarian - probably because he broke Nately's nose on Thanksgiving - but now she really wants to kill him. She stalks him throughout Rome and Pianosa, jumping out from the darkness wielding knives.
Yossarian refuses to fly more missions.
Fellow soldiers are eager to see if he will get away with it and constantly pop out of nowhere to ask him how he is doing. Major Major has disappeared. Captain Black and Hungry Joe inform Yossarian that the whores in Rome have been driven out of their brothel. Yossarian feels sorry and worries about Nately's whore's kid sister, who is only twelve.
