Tonight was rather interesting. We recieved a knock on the door and found Mr. Heck Tate standing there with a bunch of men on our front lawn. Jem and I didnt recognize most of them and they were waiting to talk to Atticus. I felt scared for him as we watched through the window. Atticus has been getting alot of heat lately from the case hes working on with Tom Robinson. Thank goodness the men were friends of Atticus, as I found out later. I sometimes feel like theres people out there who would hurt him for doing the right thing. All I can do is hope for the best.
Tonight was another crazy night. Before bed, Atticus told us he was going to town and would be back very late. Jem wanted to go and see what he was up to, so Dill and I joined him. When we arrived, we found Atticus sitting ouside Tom Robinsons jail cell. Agroup of men apeared, and they were different from the previous group. These men looked dangerous. I could smell whiskey on these men and they all wore similar clothing. When Atticus saw Jem, Dill, and I fear struck his face. He told us to go home but we refused. One of the men grabbed Jem by the collar and I went into full on attack mode. I defended my brother and began to talk to Mr. Cunningham, Walters dad. I somehow got the men to leave and was greateful that no harm was done to Atticus. I hope something like this never happens again, although I'm not too sure it wont.
