It was beyond closing time at Nicky's restaurant. All the staff had gone home and only Nicky and Frank remained. Frank was upstairs, counting Nicky's money. As Nicky looked around the empty bar, he thought about the nights' events

Frank wandered downstairs and saw Nicky on the payphone. Nicky motionedhim over with his ear still attached to the handset, raising both eyebrows in Frank's direction.
"We did good tonight, Nicky. Very good."
With that Nicky waved him away, one thumb up, followed by a wave that clearly meant goodnight.
Paige was half asleep as her mobile started to buzz on the bedside cabinet. Groggily she reached over and answered it, head falling back on the pillow in a slump. "Hello?" Her voice was sleepy and maybe a little irritated, she had no idea who'd be calling her at this time.
Nicky immediately felt a guilty pang. He had always been a night owl and sometimes forgot that normal people liked to go to bed from time to time. It was only after midnight that Nicky truly came to life.
He listened to Paige for a second and then hung up the receiver, back on the cradle.
Okay, now that really pissed her off. Some fucker calling her at gone 1am and then they fucking hung up. She switched on the lamp at the side of the bed and called the number straight back.
Whoever was fucking about was going to get an earful.
Nicky's jacket was sitting in the booth he'd occupied all night and he went to pick it up and absent-mindedly threw it on.
When the phone on the wall rang he knew immediately who it would be. He wondered for a minute if he'd given Paige the number for the restaurant. He didn't remember giving her the payphone number. So he guessed she didn't have a clue who she was phoning.
He smiled to himself. Instead of picking up, he walked to the door, swtiched off the house lights, and left, with the phone still ringing.
