Don't feed them the nickel

Puzzle

You are South. West bid 30 in threes and led the double-trey. Your partner, North, played the trey-blank. East played the trey-ace. It is on you.

You have two treys left. One of them is the trey-deuce, and that one is a nickel. The double-trey is already on the table. It is the highest trey there is.

You have to follow suit. Which trey do you play, and why?

The answer is up this evening.
