What is the climax of "The Slave Dancer?"

The climax of any story is the point in the story of greatest interest and emotional involvement in the plot.  Taking this into consideration when analyzing the story of "The Slave Runner," the climax would be when Jessie and Ras have to say goodbye.  Ras is headed off on the underground railroad to the north, where he will be safe, and Jessie is headed back to New Orleans.  They face each other and Ras points to Jessie and says "nose."  Then he points to his mouth and says "teef,"  Jessie laughs and says "teeth."  Ras shakes his head and says teef then walks away.  They never see each other again, but never will forget the bond formed in the hold of that slave ship.
