its been a year since the depression hit. My how the times have changed. Mattie_iceJr thought to himself. Madison square garden, Mattie never thought it would look so empty. a chill ran down his spine. Thoughts flooded his head of just a few months ago. Its like he was on top of the world. fortune. fame. women. and the light heavyweight title of the world no less. I had it all pop. I wish you could've seen it. its only been a few months since you were killed, its like everything fell apart after that. you were a true visionary. a man of respect. i only hope to be half the man you were one day. He goes into his wallet and pulls out a photo of his father and Jaygatsby at one of Jays parties. Jay. a man he knew of but never met. how did he hold himself up through this.. Great depression. the American dollar doesn't count for anything anymore. He wondered to himself. Dad, all my money is gone, the PI i hired has drained everything looking for who killed you. Ive got a blood lust and i wont stop until its gone. RIP Mattie_ice.

The lights in the arena shut down. its quiet, too quiet for the worlds most infamous boxing arena. out in the stands there is a shadow. it moves forward. an overpowering aroma of high class cologne fills his sinuses. out of the shadow stands a man. he looks familiar. dredgen something, he thought to himself.

"The names Dredgen_Yor, in case you were wondering. we've been watching you for a while now. I know your pissed about your old man, and i know you went broke looking for answers.."

"Wait how did you know my father? and how did you find me?" mattie asked thinking regretfully about his father.

"All your questions will be answered soon enough. Theres a man by the name of Jaygatsby who wants to meet you. are you armed?"

"n.."

"come with me"

The two walk side by side out of the arena and into the cold dead streets. a man with a wheel barrel full of cash is burning all his money in a furnace in the distance. and only 30 feet away sits a black luxury vehicle, maybe a jefferson. The tinted backseat window starts to open, only revealing a mans eyes.

"you got that same dumb look on your face like your old man" Dredgen said as he signals for mattie to go to the car.

from the vehicle a voice booms and echos throughout the streets. "Get in"
