Nick: “Hello?”
Paul: “Nick, I need to talk to you.”
Nick: “I’m listening.”
Paul: “Not on the phone. In person.”
Nick: “Where?”

The line went dead. Marcus and Dre stop and turned and looked at Nick.
Nick: “He wants to meet.”
Dre: “Where?”
Nick: “The same place we talked before. Morrison’s Hardware.”
Marcus: “You want us to come?”
Nick: “No. Im going to call Tony on my way over there.”
Nick headed for the door, then stopped and looked back at Niesha.
Nick: “After tonight, this is over. One way or another.”
Niesha: “Promise me you’ll be careful.”
“I promise I’ll be smart and dangerous.”
Niesha: “What’s the difference?”
Nick: “Careful means avoiding trouble. Smart and dangerous means ending it.”
