Crooks taunts Lennie by suggesting that George may not return, leaving Lennie alone and defenseless. He also implies that George might get hurt, causing Lennie to become agitated and defensive. Crooks uses these tactics to provoke fear and insecurity in Lennie.

Crooks is teasing Lennie, because he knows that Lennie depends on George to make every decision for him. When Lennie thinks this is true, he gets really worried. Because he is gulible, he believes him so easily.

In this chapter, George has gone to Soledad with the rest of the ranchers, as they would often do on Saturday night. Contrary to Crooks' belief however, he has not gone to drink and visit the brothel like the other men. This is revealed when Candy says he has not taken any money with him (because they are saving up to buy the land Goerge has found). During the chapter, Crooks teases Lennie and makes him believe George will not be coming back. George does however come back at the end of the chapter and enters Crooks' room with Candy and Lennie and tells them to LEave Crooks alone.
Examples of signposts in "Of Mice and Men" include the dream of owning a farm, the recurring theme of loneliness and isolation, and the foreshadowing of Lennie's tendency to get into trouble due to his strength. These elements serve as markers that guide the reader through the themes and events in the story.
Crooks is trying to scare Lennie because he feels angry and powerless due to the discrimination he faces as a black man on the ranch. By asserting his authority over Lennie, he momentarily feels a sense of control and superiority.
