Harlem Summer: The police came to Mark's job to arrest him for the bootley whiskey. Mr. Hughes walkin as they were hand cutting him. He looked scared for Mark. He hated that he saw that. He wanted to tell Mr. Hughes something but the words wouldn't come out. When he got to the police station fats & crabcakes were there. The police were slapping Mark & Crabcakes around. Fats straighten out the whole thing and they let us go. Mark didn't know if it had anything to do with Sergeant asking Fats to play a gigg for them or not. Fats was big and I wanted to be just like him. Herny came over and showed me the article in the white folks paper.
Mark went to the barbar shop and the older men were telling them how they saw him in the paper and what people would think of him now. It seemed eveywhere he went people where talking about it. Mark ran into Bumpy. He said that he had a message from himself and Queenie. To find out what he said and how things end up for Mark you will have to read and find out.
