Darren nurses his injured knuckles at Kay’s Country Kitchen near the courthouse as he discusses the case with FBI Agent Greg Heglund, a friend from high school, over the phone. Darren reminisces over their teenage years, and how, despite their racial differences, they found common ground and true friendship. Darren asserts his hypothesis that the ABT is behind Ronnie’s killing. Ronnie stood to testify soon with incriminating evidence against the group. Greg does not agree. The crime scene does not match what the ABT has done in the past. Greg is also concerned about the missing gun and Darren’s friendship with Mack. Darren feels the force is looking for a way to expel him due to his race. The feds have teamed up with the Rangers to investigate the ABT on drug trafficking and conspiracy. Being a part of the investigation was complicated for Darren considering the organization’s racial hatred. His family home was robbed and desecrated and many of his uncles’ prized possessions were stolen. Darren does not know for certain it was the ABT, but chatter online leads him to believe they are after him. Greg outright asks Darren if he helped Mack in killing Ronnie. Darren verbally denies it, though he internally recognizes his bias to help his friend.
