riding in the car with Poo Bear, about the brawl with the Crips as Poo Bear was unaware that this was the reason why the Bloods left the basketball court earlier that day. Poo Bear then drives to his girlfriend, Tuffie's house. Tuffie is immediately upset at seeing Poo Bear drive up with B-Fool, a shady Bloods gang member who has a reputation among their set for being "scandalous". Poo Bear brushes off Tuffies' concern and shows her the letter he received from Solo. As Tuffie begins to read the letter Poo Bear receives a beep from his pager. Tuffie immediately suspects that the page is from another girl despite Poo Bear's assurance that it's a drug addict paging him to cop a fix. Tuffie tricks Poo Bear and steals his pager, promptly calling the number and confronting the girl on the other line. Poo Bear immediately hangs up the phone which upsets Tuffie. As Poo Bear leaves the house Tuffie asks him where he's going and he tells her that he's going to make some money, apparently by selling crack cocaine, and that he'll be back and for her to stay in the house. Later in the day as Poo Bear and B-Fool walk out of an apartment they are approached by a clean cut, seemingly harmless man walking up the alley next to the apartment building. The man asks Poo Bear if he's selling "bud" (marijuana). Poo Bear rudely rebuffs the man, who simply says "Alright" and turns to walk away. It turns out that the clean cut man is Poo Bear's rival Cartoon, the Crip whose best friend was murdered at the gas station at the beginning of the film. Because of his neat appearance Poo Bear and B-Fool don't recognize him as a rival gang member. Seconds after walking away Cartoon turns around, draws a Glock pistol and opens fire on Poo Bear and B-Fool who attempt to flee back into the apartment. While B-Fool makes it to the apartment door Poo Bear is shot twice in his back. As Poo Bear staggers towards the apartment door B-Fool closes the security door behind himself, leaving Poo Bear outside and defenseless. As Poo Bear struggles to make it into the apartment Cartoon shoots him a third time and Poo Bear collapses in front of the apartment door. Cartoon stands over Poo Bear and fires another six shots
