+This is my formal request for : the phone conversation nick has with sonny so that we can get into more plot ( mc ! Au)
++So tell us about the phone conversation between mc!Nick and mc! Sonny??
mentioned here & here ❤ @space-carisi Bit of a different format than I usually use. Hopefully it works okay & is still easy enough to follow!
//////
Phone rings twice before it connects.
“Sonny? It’s Nick. I heard about earlier.”
“Why do you always say ‘it’s Nick’ as if I don’t know your number by heart? We’ve known each other since we were kids, Nick.” A sigh. “Yeah, how’d you piss off the AB?”
A beat. “Long story.”
“Aren’t they all. I think they’re dealing in the town again so I had business to take care of anyway.”
“Yeah, we both know that’s not all it was. That damn soft heart of yours is going to get you killed on day, Carisi.”
A dry chuckle and inhale as if smoking a cigarette. “Hope not. My old lady would bring me back from the dead and kill me again for leaving her.” Another inhale and exhale. “You know I hate those racist assholes. Not going to let them snatch your girl. They need to remember their place.”
“Pretty sure they were trying to remind me of mine.”
“Fuck them. Your girl okay?”
“Shaken up, but trying to put on a brave face for me.” A deep sigh. “I don’t know how—how do you do it, Sonny?”
“Do what?”
“Drag her into all of…this. Know she’ll be in danger one day and you won’t be there. I can’t—I don’t…”
“Thought you were the smart one? All strategy?” A chuckle. “What choice do I have? I’m in love with her. I don’t, I can’t—man, I’d be shit at everything without her. So I do my best to keep her safe. Keep someone looking out for her.”
A long pause. “Yeah, well. Appreciate you stepping in earlier.”
“Yeah, you know me… You need a prospect or someone on her though, Nick. If you’ve got beef with AB.”
“I’ve got bigger problems than AB.”
“Well…maybe I can help with some of that.” A pointed silence. “I have a proposal for you.”
“Oh, Carisi, that’s so sweet. But I think your old lady would kill me if we run off together.”
Choked laughter. “Fuck you! Fine. I have a business proposition. Something legit…”
“…I’m listening.”
“Let’s talk in person. You got time tomorrow? Three pm at the spot.”
“I’ll be there.”
“See you tomorrow…jefe.”
Another laugh. “Oh fuck you, Carisi. See you there.”
Ahhhh!!
