Chapter 18

Sylvester and Twan start driving home when Gwen calls to check up and tell Sylvester that his mom and dad got into another fight and he mom put his dad in jail again. We return to Rufus who is helming a service at his church with the Reverend Mosley James Evans. Rufus escapes to his office for a minute to answer a phone call from a distraught Chuck who doesn’t understand why Rufus hasn’t called. Rufus tries to calmly explain that he can’t leave his wife for Chuck, which only makes Chuck more upset. Rufus begs to come see him to calm him down but Chuck won’t let him because it turns out he’s in the hospital.
