Chapter 6 Summary
The next morning, Winter and Momma try to leave to attend Santiaga’s arraignment, but the feds pull up and confiscate the Benz. They must pay a cab driver $100 to drive them into the city, but by the time they get to court, they have missed Santiaga. Winter notes how “[m]oney was going fast” (95). They take public transportation back home, which takes nearly all day.
Once home, Momma is crying and wanting to see Santiaga, but Winter is trying to devise a plan by thinking about what Santiaga would want them to do. She thinks about selling their belongings to get some money. Natalie calls to say that Midnight was arrested, along with a lot of other guys in Brooklyn. Then she says that Bullet just had a baby boy. Winter is angry that Natalie didn’t tell her that Bullet had a girlfriend.
Momma dresses up to see Santiaga, but just as she and Winter are leaving, the feds show up. They have a warrant and take Momma down to the station for questioning. Winter goes to visit Santiaga alone. She lies and says that Momma couldn’t come visit because she isn’t feeling good.
