While in the nightclub, Sharon takes a seat at a table and orders a screwdriver. She is waiting for Pietro, who she knows works there. She listens to the live music and remembers her days as a singer. The live music displeases her, but she claps for the musicians because she is praying for them. When Pietro finds her, she tells him that she is there to talk to Mrs. Rogers, and that she is the mother-in-law of the man that Mrs. Rogers accused of raping her. Pietro responds, "Well, lady, you've got one hell of a son-in-law, let me tell you that" (153).

Sharon tried to talk to Pietro and tries to get him to see that Fonny did not do what they think he did. She shows Pietro Fonny's picture and tells him to go home and hold Mrs. Rogers and have her look at the photograph. Pietro refuses and leaves Sharon alone in the nightclub. Her meeting with Pietro fails.
