During a dice game that Jones seems to be winning, he is confronted by an angry young white boy, who at first has no name, but is later identified as Johnny Stoddart). The boy takes the racist lead in beating Jones up and teaching him a lesson. After the fight, Jones resolves to track the boy down and kill him, but while never actually doing so, he does instill fear into the boy, whose racism becomes even more intense and is even further intensified with fury and frustration.
