Now
- Shh… here's a secret. Shorty is almost to the point of the story where the earthquake happened. He tells us it's just a couple days away.
- A few days ago, Stephanie and Biggie argued on the phone about her coming to help him out.
- One of his crew was shot in the foot—by Biggie—after the guy didn't show the proper respect.
- So he was all, "Hey girl, do me a solid," but she wasn't having any of it.
- She knew it was dangerous hanging out with Biggie in the first place, but lately things had gotten worse.
- At the bar the other night, she overheard people talking about the U.N. taking down the gang members in the Site. She's worried about what might happen to Biggie.
- He tells her not to worry about it. Besides, none of those U.N. members give a rats butt about them. All they care about are their tanks and guns; they never help them out.
- After Stephanie and Biggie argue for a little bit, they say goodbye and hang up.
- Biggie tells Shorty that Stephanie is knocked up with his baby. He already has a three year old and baby momma on the side, too.
- Shorty wants to get close to Marguerite, but he knows the only way he can do so is by venturing into Boston territory—and that would get him killed.
- Instead, he comes up with a plan to take down the entire gang, mafia style.
- When he fills Biggie in on the details, the guy goes along with the plan, so long as they can get some good luck from the houngan first.
- Together, Biggie and Shorty visit a houngan in search of magical powers to keep them safe.
- At first, the houngan does his spells and tries to help, but then he gives them some bad news: Shorty has only half a soul, so he can't be protected. He can destroy anything, or build something up, but it's up to him which path he chooses.
- Biggie is ticked off. They paid two months of drug money for this? He demands a refund.
- When the houngan refuses to give Biggie his money back, Biggie shoots the guy dead.
- Biggie and Shorty head over the Boston zone with a car packed with explosives.
- At the last minute, they jump out of the car and take cover.
- Meanwhile, all the Boston crewmembers shoot at the car, thinking Biggie (a.k.a. the rival gang leader) is in it.
- Boom goes the dynamite. The car blows up and takes a bunch of Boston crewmembers down with it.
- Shorty rushes over to the girl in the crowd to see if she's okay.
- "Hey, Marguerite, I still have my half of our heart necklace," he tells her.
- Huh? This chick is confused because she doesn't know who Marguerite is.
