while now. I ain't got a thing for ya."
    Pit was not falling for any of Noc's schemes. He did not have time to trust no one at all. He had his mind on bigger things nowadays.
    "Ahh, man. You can't be for real. The Pit I know stay wit some kinda hustle. You mean to tell me you ain't got no hype poppin' 'round here? If it's just weed, pills, drank, whateva, I can handle that until I get on my feet."
    Noc knew for sure that Pit was trying to play him. There was no way that Pit was out of the game for good.
                  "Nah, man. I'm good. I told you. I ain't got nothing at all for you. I'm all the way legit now. I'm finally off papers too, and I'm not trying to get back on them or get locked up again. I love my freedom and my family too much for that."
    "I feel you, bro. But look, check this out. I'm staying over at the the Elegante for now, but you know how pricey that can get after a few days. You mind if I crash wit you at your place?"
    "Nah, man. I have my family living with me. I'll see what I can do for you though. But look, I have some business that I need to take care of. Imma hit you up later."
    Pit needed to finish the business that he and his uncle needed to take care of as well as take care of some business for Kale. He had plans to show her that he was serious about their relationship. He was unsure of what Noc was up to, but he wasn't up for babysitting and trying to figure out either.
    "Is it something that I can help you with?" Noc offered.
                  "Nah, I gotta handle this on my own," Pit declined.
    “Oh, I get it. I’m pretty sure she gotta friend though,” Noc joked.
    “Not that kind of business. After you gone get settled in, I will swing through after a few hours and scoop you up. We can go and get something to eat and just hang out a bit, you know, catch up. Then tomorrow morning, bright and early, we will go out and try to find you some work.”
    "Alright, man. I'll catch up with you later then," Noc said sounding disappointed, but glad and hopeful to be able to meet with Pit a little later.
    Before exiting the building, Pit stopped Noc.
                  “Aye man, here.”
    He reached into his wallet and pulled out six one hundred dollar bills.
    “This all I got on me right nah. If you need more, I’ll get more for you later after I take a trip to the bank. I’ll be coming back to get you anyways, so this should hold you.”
    “Only six hunned bucks on you? Having a bank account instead of a private and hidden or buried stash? Who are you?”
    “I told you, I am a legitimate man now. You gotta respect that.”
    With that said, Pit walked away. He did not care to listen to Noc’s reply. He was a bit discombobulated and he needed to talk to someone about his feelings. As a drug dealer and ex-con, the reason why Pit was able to get out in time enough to still be a free man was because he had a great instinct. Any time he had a bad feeling about something, he refused to do it and when the feeling got too strong, he would pull back altogether. With this feeling he had now, he knew that there was only one person that he could talk to about it that was able to help out, so he headed out to talk to that person.

                  Noc stepped out of the shower and he heard his cell phone ringing. There was a familiar number on his ID screen.
                  “Hey baby,” he answers.
                  “Have you touched down yet?” the voice on the other end asked.             
    “Yep, I made it in town yesterday evening,” Noc answered.             
    “So what have you discovered so far?” the voice inquired.
                  “Not too much.”
                  “Why not, haven’t you been asking questions? Where is he?”             
                  “I left him about an hour
