First, they attempt to contact O.J. Berman, but he does not want to be disturbed because he is receiving a massage.  Next, they call Mr. Trawler. He is away to dinner and the butler asks if he  could take a message.  Joe Bell shouts into the receiver that "this is urgent, mister. Life or death" (95). They try to leave a message with Mag Wildwood, but they are unsuccessful.  Mag Wildwood begins to talk about how she and her husband would sue if anyone attempts to connect their names with Holly.  The narrator hangs up before Mag Wildwood could finish her coversation.  The narrator finally contacts Mr. Berman. By that hour, Berman is already aware of the news and pays a lawyer from New York to get Holly out of jail.  Berman told Iggy Fitelstein, the lawyer, to take care of the situation, but to keep his name anonymous.  Berman also calls Holly "crazy. A phony.  But a ''real'' phony, you know?" (95). Berman told the narrator not to worry that Iggy will have her out that night. 
 
Holly wasn't out that night or the next morning when the narrator goes to feed her cat.  The narrator doesn't have a key, so he enters the apartment through a window. He finds the cat in the bedroom and a man there packing a suitcase.  The narrator and the man thought of each other as a burglar.  As the narrator stares at the man, he realizes that the man resembles Jose. The man turns out to be Jose's cousin.  The narrator asks, "Where is Jose?" (96).  The cousin repeats the question and says, "She is waiting," (96) and returns to what he is doing.  Before the cousin leaves, he presents a letter to the narrator that reads "''For Miss H.Golightly-Courtesy Bearer''" (97). The narrator sits on Holly's bed and hugs her cat.

Joe Bell asks the narrator if he thinks she could commit such an act.  The narrator states: "But there, she did do it.  Carry messages and whatnot---" (Capote 94).
