Chapter 38: Kid Sister

In Chapter 38 of Catch-22, Yossarian decides to stop flying combat missions and starts walking backwards to avoid being sneaked up on. When he goes to Rome, he tells Nately's prostitute about Nately's death, and she tries to kill Yossarian in revenge. Yossarian is eventually able to get rid of her by dropping her in a parachute from his plane and taking her to a distant location. As word of Yossarian's refusal to fly spreads, other men hope to do the same, and Yossarian's superior officers offer him non-dangerous missions in exchange for his cooperation. Captain Black also informs Yossarian that the military police have evicted Nately's prostitute and her sister from their apartment, causing Yossarian to worry about their well-being.
