be in front ?
‘It’s worth a grand, US, in the stores here,’ I said, ‘and any street guy in Bombay will get six for it, and an honest one will give you five back.’
‘He gave us a hundred, and promised to get more,’ one of the men said.
‘He’ll be hanging around,’ I said. ‘And he’ll want his hundred back. There’s a waiter here, named Sweetie. He does a little on the side. He’s a surly motherfucker, but you can trust him. You can do the deal, give Saleh his money back, and be in front. Be safe.’
I would like to know what does " be in front" here mean . Thanks .

I believe that in this context, "be in front" means to have no debts and to not owe anyone money.
