"You son of a Bitch!"she said throwing a lamp at Shaft " How could you? I loved you!"then grabbing more things to throw at him"Coming home late, acting suspiciously, lying to me I should have known you were sneaking around with that...that bitch!". "Gretchen please let me explain I-". "Dont you explain to me GET OUT!".

Screw that bitch Shaft thought and made his way out of the apartment and to the diner across the street.   At the diner he used the phone and called up Firsts_Ladie."Got any work for me?". "Yeah there's this thing its not easy but it pays good meet Claudio and ArchieShepp at the corner store for more details."

Reaching the corner store Shaft saw ArchieShepp arguing with the cashier over the price of a pack of smokes. "Its 15 cent for a pack you son of a bitch not 50 cent Ey yo Shaft can you explain to this bastard that its 15 cents and not 50 cent for a pack of luckies." shrugging his shoulders Shaft took ArchieShepp's side "Look there is a depression goin on how is a bastard like Archie supposed to feed his nicotine addiction at these prices? Huh?" The cashier nodded and sold ArchieShepp the pack of Lucky Strikes cigarettes at 15 cents. " Now thats more like it." said ArchieShepp as he lit a cigarette. "So uh whats up with you Shaft?" said ArchieShepp as he took a puff from his cigarette. "Gretchen kicked me out of the apartment cause I was seein another woman."Laughing and taking another puff from his cigarette ArchieShepp said " Tobe be honest man I never liked that bitch Gretchen you can stay at my place til you get back on your feet again."They were then greeted by Claudio walking towards them. "Whats up guys how ya doin?". "We doin good Claudio except for Shaft here his old lady kicked him out  but other than that we're fine." They all started laughing.

"Alright here's the deal there's a shipment of drugs being held in a warehouse it's a big shipment good stuff its being held by the Durdens now we don't like the Durdens running an operation or having anything on our turf so we take their shipment and keep it sounds easy right?"They all agreed and got into Claudio's car and drove to the warehouse. At the warehouse there were five men taking care of the shipment most of them skinny young men except for a buff looking guy in his thirties. Claudio and ArchieShepp took out the skinny guys and Shaft snuck behind the buff man. The man heard shaft and punched him in the stomach Shaft fell to the floor." What do ya think your doin? Huh?" He grabbed Shaft and threw him against the wall."Trying to screw up Mr.Durdens operation eh?"The man took out his gun a colt 1911 and aim it a Shaft. "No one Fucks with Mr.Durden"Just as he was about to pull the trigger there was a gunshot and he fell to the ground. "No one fucks with the Kokiri bitch!" said Claudio as he picked up Shaft."You alright man?". "Yeah im fine"said Shaft coughing up a bit of blood."Just roughed up a little its nothin". They then started loading up a truck with the shipment while ArchieShepp made terrible jokes."So this lady asked me If I had a record. I told her yeah I have a record my record so big im about to throw out an album." "Shut up Archie and help us load this stuff into the truck." They all finished loading the shipment into the truck and Claudio gave them a lift to ArchieShepp's apartment. "You all will get paid tomorrow have a good night." Shaft followed ArchieShepp into his apartment it was a small place but it had a strange smell."You can sleep on the couch Shaft it ain't much but it's all I got." "It's alright man and hey I appreciate it" Shaft laid down on the couch and immediately went to sleep, what a night.
