The bus driver Eddie shot, a man named Sidney Parker, recognizes Marcus and identifies him in the school yearbook. Marcus is arrested and taken to the police station, where he is questioned by detectives. They pressure him to give up the name of his partner, but Marcus refuses. Coach Casey’s wife arrives to tell Marcus not to worry and to let him know that both his mother and Coach are on their way. As the detectives continue to question Marcus, they tell him the names of the two people he and Eddie robbed before Sidney Parker. They continue to ask him questions, but Marcus does not disclose Eddie’s involvement in the crimes. When the detectives lead him out of the interrogation room, he sees his mother, Coach Casey, and his wife sitting in the hallway, but is not allowed to talk to them.

Eddie’s sister Rose finds out that Marcus was arrested and demands answers from Eddie as to what happened. Coach Casey left as soon as the game ended, and college scouts are waiting outside his office. Eddie has spoken to the scout from St. John’s before. Not wanting to pass up his chance to play college basketball, Eddie approaches the scout directly and tells him he wants to play for their school.
