"I'll never look at Country Time the same way again." said Taker, starting the Expedition up again.
"Tell me about it," said Kane. "That's worse than putting acid in hot sauce."
Taker stopped at a red light. He looked at the name of the street; Tillman.
"Fuck, he muttered. "This is a bad street right he-"
Before he could finish his sentence, two guys popped up in front of Taker's window. Both were young African-American males. One was large and muscle with long cornrows. The other was smaller with sunglasses written on it and a baseball cap and durag covering his braided hair.
"Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo!" said the large one.
"Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo,!" said the smaller one. "Yo, Shad, check these silly white boys."
"What's poppin, white boy?" said Shad to Taker. "Care to purchase some items from us?"
"No thanks," said Taker. "Can you tell me how to get to Lovell Road in Knoxville?"
"We can," said the one named Shad. "But first, we want to show you some of our products. J.T.G., get them."
"I don't want-" Taker began irritable, but before he knew it, a blow dryer, was being shoved into his face.
"It doesn't work," said the one named J.T.G. "But we're going to give it to you half price- 12 dollars."
"12 Dollars for a blow dryer that doesn't work?" said Kane outraged.
"Don't be stingy, we know your pockets are lined up with cheddar," said Shad. "Next item up, a counterfeit Gucci handbag. 10 dollars, whatdya say, dawg?"
"No!" said Taker, who was near the boiling point. "Just tell us how to get to the Krystal in Knoxville!"
"Listen homeboy, we're just trying to get our houstle on." said J.T. "Y'see, we're just about gettin' that money, money,! Yeah, yeah!"
The two of them began dancing while saying. "Money, money. Yeah, yeah!" over and over. Taker grew tired of this and said. "If I give you both two hundred bucks each, will you tell us how to get to the Krystal in Knoxville?"
"That'll work," said Shad. "Give us the green."
When 'Taker gave up four hundred bucks, Shad gave a very long winded version of how to get the Krystal. By the time he finished, 'Taker and Kane were nearly asleep.
"Thanks," said Taker, muttering a sigh of relief.
"No, thank you," said Shad, walking off with a broad smile on his face. When Taker looked back, he realized why. JTG was running off with the hubcaps he'd taken off of the Expedition.
"Son of a bitch!" Taker snarled. "That's why they gave me that long assed story on how to get to Knoxville!"
Another man walked toward the Expedition. He too, was African-American with a defensive tackle's build, a small afro, and a mustache. He looked at Taker, then Kane, paused, shook his head, and said, "DAMN!" and walked off.
