DEUCE AND ESCHEWAL MAKE their way over to a wine bar to kill some time until ten o'clock. "Oh shit, she's fit," begins Deuce as Eschewal connects to the main road, "nah, blood serious, do you really know how fit that chick is?"

Eschewal nods in agreement. "That's what I keep telling them."

Deuce continues, "Ter, can you imagine how her body looks when you take off her clothes? I swear you due to buss a nut before you even push it in."

Eschewal shakes his head and laughs. "Yeah, true stories?" he says.

"Yeah, cuz," says Deuce, "but not me, 'cause I'm rolling with the fitness, blood. Trust me. I'm not bussing until I mash that down."

Eschewal smiles. "Yeah, better that boy," then rubs his head.

Silence falls between the two for a while, then sounding less scared but more concerned, Deuce says, "Oi, you don't think she'll back out, do you?"

Eschewal shrugs. "Boy, I don't know, bruv," he says, hoping she will not.

Deuce continues, "Nah, I don't think she's gonna back out. I'm telling you, bruv, every girl that I know are hoes, trust me. That's why I do what I do. Even though I love my wifey, I don't trust her. You feel me?"

Eschewal raises his eyebrows, not in agreement but understanding Deuce's guilt-driven rationalization.

He pushes the car through the last set of traffic lights and drives past the wine bar. As he looks for a parking space, his memory replays the look of sexual need in Salacious's eyes. "Yeah," he tells himself, "she won't be backing out."
