Tariq approaches. Music thumps. He hands the bag to a masked figure. But as he turns, blue lights flash. COPS. Everywhere.

EXT. BASKETBALL COURTS - NIGHT
Tariq meets DIANA TEJADA (17, fierce, gold hoops) and DRU TEJADA (18, stylish, guarded). They’re Monet’s kids. The new heirs to the Castilian drug empire.

Rain slicks the asphalt. Sirens wail in the distance. TARIQ ST. PATRICK (17, sharp jaw, dead eyes behind a designer hoodie) stands over a body. JAMES "GHOST" ST. PATRICK. Blood pools into a gutter. power book ii: ghost s01e01 wma
