Bunch meets with Haroldeen at his apartment to give her half of her payment for shooting Deems and his bodyguard, although she hasn’t finished the job yet because Deems is still alive. Bunch is angry with her for botching the job by failing to kill everyone who was targeted. Backstory in the chapter reveals that Haroldeen and her mother were both used sexually by drug addicts to feed her mother’s drug habit. Haroldeen wants to go to college and tells Bunch that she’ll follow through with what she promised to do because she needs to save up for school.

Although his house is “safe” and few people in the drug trade know its location, Bunch sends Haroldeen out a basement door so no one will see her leave. On her way out, she leaves another door in the basement unlocked so that Joe Peck and his men—who she’s led to the house—can get in and shoot Bunch, which they do as she’s leaving. Her mission finished and because she’s presumably being paid by Peck instead of Bunch, Haroldeen disappears from the story after this point.
