Chapter 26 Summary

Sofia informs Michael there is a warrant out for his arrest for grand larceny and that there is an unmarked police car sitting outside the 14th Street Legal Clinic. Michael is terrified, but he tries not to show it. Sofia and Mordecai make a plan to help, and they start making calls. Gasko enters with two other policemen, shows Mordecai a legitimate arrest warrant, and informs Mordecai that he is taking Michael to central booking. On the way there, Gasko admits that he thinks arresting Michael is a waste of time and resources, but he is being pressured by Drake & Sweeney, via the prosecutor. While Mordecai tries to come up with Michael’s bail, he is booked, fingerprinted, and thrown in a cell with two beds and five Black men. During the few hours he spends in jail, one of the men bullies Michael into “giving” him his sport coat and shoes. Mordecai finally provides bail around 7:00 p.m., and Michael gets his clothes back.

Chapter 27 Summary

The next morning, Saturday, Michael awakens with soreness all over his body from his various physical struggles. Trying not to think about his pending grand-larceny charge, he goes to a local bakery for coffee and a newspaper.
