Baynes worries because General Yatabe has been delayed. For the past two weeks in San Francisco, he has called Tagomi every day while he waits for the general. His behavior is beginning to annoy Tagomi. Wondering whether the death of Bormann has hindered his plans, Baynes hears that Joseph Goebbels has taken control of the Nazi government. The news prompts him to reach out to his fellow spies, but he is wary of the secret police. He meets with a Japanese agent in a department store changing room. Baynes sets a meeting with the man for the "tomorrow afternoon" (98).
Juliana and Joe drive to Denver in Juliana's car. While Joe drives, she reads The Grasshopper Lies Heavy. Worried that she will not finish the "wonderful" (99) book before the end of her journey, she asks Joe to tell her the ending. In the book's finale, Winston Churchill helps the Allies win World War II and then he leads a war against the United States of America. Joe says that the author "works all the details out" (101). He launches into a digression, praising the Italian fascists and their leader, Benito Mussolini. Juliana realizes that the author of The Grasshopper Lies Heavy supposedly lives nearby in Cheyenne and Joe suggests that they take a detour on their journey to pay a visit to Abendsen.
