Night arrests in Russia are feared; in Afghanistan, they are considered cowardly. Dost sells sweetened foods at the market, and so Leo is on the lookout for such a man. Dost is in his late twenties or early thirties, and was the mastermind behind the attacks. Leo finds such a man whose hatred of Soviets shows past his careful restraint, and Leo buys some sugarcoated almonds from him before returning to report to Anton.
