Too Late

Asa fumes about Sloan’s ingratitude as Jess attempts to perform oral sex on him. He took Sloan in instead of making her go back to her “crack-whore mother” (66). When he can’t get erect, he fantasizes about Sloan in Jess’s place, but crying and pleading for his help and forgiveness. He can’t believe someone would have the audacity to take his girlfriend out.

Downstairs, he brags to Jon, Dalton, and Carter about how rough he was on Jess. Jon asks when he’ll let him try it with Sloan, and Asa kicks his chair out from under him. When Jon mocks him about Sloan’s mystery lunch date, Asa punches and kicks him before Dalton and Carter pull him off. After Jon leaves, Asa tells Dalton and Carter to let him know when Sloan arrives.

Carter goes outside to look at his phone, where Dalton has entered all relevant contacts for the job. Sloan is listed as “Asa’s girl.” He calls her and tells her that Asa knows she went to lunch.

Her instant fear makes him want to kill Asa. He tells her to get the pizza out of his car and walk in casually. As long as she’s the one who brings it up, it should defuse the situation.
