In the book 'Of Mice and Men' in chapter 4 where is george?

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.
