While Nick, Jordan and Tom stayed in the room a bit and then went through the workshop of Mr. Wilson and was told that he would go with his wife, Tom could not afford it because it would lose Myrtle and do not want to lose then it reached an agreement with him, told him that if he brought the blue coupe that would give money and not have to go. The next day Nick and Tom went to the city, and found many people in the workshop, Tom thought it was good because if there had been a clash Wilson would win money and not leave his wife, but he did not expect such a so serious that outside Myrtle died hit by a yellow car accident.
