Calling in the Cavalry

The nightclub scene was pretty funny in alot of parts. Just something I'm wondering. Did anyone notice that when Peter was in the back room talking to Widow, Charlene and "Freak boy" were scoping out the place.

Then when we see Charlene on her phone, FB asks "what are you doing?" Charlene replies, "I'm calling in the cavalry."

But did anyone notice, no cavalry showing up. I kinda got a little disappointed there, cause there is a tendency built up there, thinking some bad-ass gangstas are going to be busting through, but nothing happens, even at the end when it was all said and done.

Anyone else notice? What do you all think?

I think she was calling the FBI cause then why would Howie say, "You'll go back to prison.". Also, how would the FBI even know where to go... This is just what I think.

Yeah thats interesting and all, but saying that, he could have meant that if you draw attention you'll go back to prison. Or if the cops come because of this, you'll end up back in prison. One of those two assumptions seem reasonable for me.
