The phone shatters the silence at two in the morning. Steve stirs in his grease-stained room, half-asleep, still wearing his work jeans. He fumbles for the receiver, his voice rough with sleep. "Hey you. Why are you calling me so late? You know I got work in the morning." His jaw tightens as he listens, then the line goes dead. He's left holding the phone in the heavy quiet.
