The next week, things seem better for Scout. Dill is staying for the summer, Jem agrees to assist them in repairing the tree house, she is in good terms with her aunt, and Dill has set another plan to lure out Boo. Sheriff Tate and a group of men, including Dr. Reynolds and Mr. Avery, come one day to inform Atticus that Robinson was being transferred to the county jail because it was dangerous for him to stay in the town jail a night before his trial. The reality of the case dawns on the family as Jem begins to worry about his father. The following evening Atticus leaves for the town after supper, and the three kids follow him sneakily. He camps out in front of the Maycomb jail as the kids watch from a distance. Cars arrive, and men empty out, looking for Robinson. Scout runs to Atticus and Jem, and Dill is forced to follow. A small struggle ensues, but Atticus refuses to let them through. When Scout identifies Walter Cunningham's father, he tells him to say hello to his son; and her innocent request eases the tension as the men drive away.
