To Kill A Mockingbird - Jem 8 pg149

Tonight I decided to take a walk downtown to see where Atticus went. We went and got Dill and we made our way into the town. We saw a light outside the jail, there normally isn't one there. Dill saw a long extension cord going toward the light it was Atticus sitting outside the jail. A long chain of cars pulled up in front of the jail, we knew something wasn't right. I think they wanted to hurt Tom Robinson. Then Scout ran out to Atticus, this was not good. Scout started to have a conversation with Mr. Cunningham. She was telling him that she knew his son Walter. This conversation ended up ending all the commotion, and everyone went home.
