The chapter starts out with Holden smoking and thinking about a time when he didn't let Allie come play with him and his friend Bobby. He started talking out loud to Allie, telling him that he could come with them and play. A little later Holden hears a knock on the door and it's the elevator guy, Maurice and Sunny. They came to get the other 5 bucks because apparently Maurice said $10 the first time and they wanted it now. So after a little arguing, Maurice holds Holden against the wall so that Sunny can get the 5 bucks and Holden starts insulting Maurice... so he punches Holden in the stomach. They leave, and Holden acts like he's a character in a movie, in the mob, going to go get revenge on Maurice because he shot him in the stomach. Holden then crawls into bed and sleeps.
Response- Maurice sounds like a total jerk that needs to be punched himself. I feel bad for Holden!
