Tony gives them plenty of warning. Cesar had moved close to Nathan after sending him the address, and now he draws his gun, putting a hand on Nathan's shoulder.
It's time.
Cesar is as ready for the half demon as he's ever going to be. Nathan is between him and the door, there's a switch in his pocket to turn the sprinklers on, the heavy bucket with flimsy glass jars inside is on a table close by... It's about to be a roulette game of which one he uses first, and he has an unsettling feeling that this is the beginning of an end.
His fingertips are going numb. The grip on Nathan's shoulder relaxes deliberately, and he leans forward a little, catching Nathan's eye. He can't talk, but this kid can. Cesar mouths the word 'speak' and tilts his head at the door significantly.
