Darren drives until they cross the county line, stopping only to change the blown tire. Randie is terrified and in shock. Both are disheveled in their appearance. Darren is planning his next move, but Lieutenant Wilson is upset with Darren for going in on a possible drug charge. Darren is confused and angered by Wilson’s lack of resolve. He does not tell Wilson about Keith and Brady shooting at them. Darren takes Ronnie to a juke joint to decompress and have a drink. The two order multiple drinks and listen to the blues band play. Darren’s thoughts are chaotic as he tries to figure out what to do next. He also flashes back to when William was killed in the line of duty. Randie turns the conversation to her marital problems. She shares that she planned to leave Michael. She reveals the story of the guitar. It belonged to Michael’s uncle Booker Wright, a former bandmate of Joe Sweet’s. The two were close friends and played blues together for many years, hopeful to make a record and become famous. One night on tour, they stopped in Geneva’s, near where Booker was raised, on their way to Houston to sign with Peacock Records as The Midnight Revelers.
