JAI: No. Well kind of. What
made you think so?
MARK: Because normally you
don't sneak in until about 9
in the morning.
What's going on with your
arm there?
[ Jai looks a little shaken
as Mark moves his gaze
toward the tiny bumps he
hadn't noticed. ]

have rubbed up against
something sitting outside.

Jai walks into the bathroom.
Checking himself in the mirror. ]
A'MYAN: Hey.
JAI: Didn't think you were
going to call me.

it's sticking up to the side &
makes a sexy face in her mirror.]
TILA: I don't think so Renzo.
LORENZO: We should be able
to do whatever styles we can.
It would draw different busi-
ness here. I don't understand.
TILA: I know but it's Salon rules.
Everything has to be reviewed
by the head.

ironically walks past them
to the back.

one-by-one. Stopping at the third, she
tugs on a strand of loose hair. ]
SASCHA: There was some things I
really like about style 1 and 2.
However, I am not sure if 3 is
something our clients would
relate to.
Can you explain yourself?

notices a folder of files sitting off
to the side. She opens it &

to you when I get home but he
has to leave tonight.
[ At Kristyn's. Mairya sits her phone
down. ]
MAIRYA: Why would you show that
video off?
MICAA: I didn't. I swear.
MAIRYA: Well my mom has seen it.
And she's tripping the fuck out
like usual acting like I'm Kim K
or something.
She said you had to go.
[ Little H comes in from the living
room. ]
LITTLE H: Hey. I'll look around
for you. Too bad my Dad's not
home right now he'd talk to her

Mila all day. Stuu just got home
like an hour go.
But I wanna know, since when
did you get so relaxed?
MARK: Well he is paying to live
here and pretty much an adult
so I don't say anything. You
know I've never had a problem
with "green".
WEIS: That reminds me. I need
an oil change.
MARK: He's been doing so well
around town Chais may even do
it for free.
WEIS: And how is Jai doing?
MARK: I don't know. He's becoming
secretive lately.
WEIS: Yeah. Notice anything else?
[ Mark thinks for a second. ]
MARK: He did have these tiny bumps
all over his arm today and acted
weird when I asked about them.
WEIS: I don't wanna jump to conclusions
but there is a drug where its common
for those to show up. Have you ever
seen him smoking or even noticed
or heard a lighter?
[ Before he can finish, Mark is sprint-
ing toward Jai's room to investigate. ]
