Viola is working out in Ruddings Park when she comes across Anton Hamm beating Keita into the ground. Hamm says, “Deliver, you bastard […] ten thousand dollars, or you will never run again” (276). Viola blows her whistle, and Hamm takes off. Viola gets out of her wheelchair and approaches Keita. She asks if she should call for an ambulance, and he asks her to keep 911 out of it. He explains that he is the son of Yoyo, whom Viola is familiar with. She wants to know more about the circumstances of Yoyo’s death, and so Keita reveals most of what has happened in his life up to this point.

Rocco Calder follows through on his promise to Darlene, meeting her in Ruddings Park. She recounts her recent attack, and he tells her about Anton Hamm threatening him. Darlene tells Calder that she was there the night the prime minister came to Bombay Booty and that she saw the man who took Yvette away. She explains that she then had to please that same man. Darlene asked him what he did for a living, and he explained that he runs people to the airport to be deported.
