Hoop

## Biography

### Terry getting shot

After a brief exchange with Kato regarding the fact that she was cutting prices down on their product, the 50 Boyz attend Pat's party.

Hoop and Dink question why Meech hasn't killed Jay Mo after learning that he supposedly put a hit out on Tee. They're beginning to doubt Meech's leadership given his lack of attention towards Jay Mo, but B-Mickie and Kato manage to ease their nerve, at least for the moment, reasoning that there's a possibility that Jay Mo didn't shoot Terry. Killing him could start a war, which Dink and Hoop are ready for, but B-Mickie and Kato send them back to their posts.

### Shoot out with Lamar

Hoop and Kato arrive at the safe house with a bag of money in place of B-Mickie, who sent them over, as he was too occupied with his mother, who is in the hospital. Terry then hands Hoop the weight, but not before informing him that they only have a few days worth left. Hoop and Kato then head to the food truck, where they receive an unexpected visit from the 12th Street Boys, who disrupts their flow by informing their non-drug using customers of the "Stone Burger" on the secret menu. This sends the crowd into a frenzy, forcing the 50 Boyz to close up shop early.

The following day, the 50 Boyz are out in large numbers today at the factory as Kato and Hoop work the food truck. However, Hoop begins to contemplate if maybe Lamar showing up at the food truck yesterday was merely a distraction to leave the safe house unguarded. So Hoop arrives at the stash house to discover that it's been ransacked. He is shot at but manages to take cover behind a wall and shoot one of the thieves in the leg. However, Lamar intervenes and opens fire with a machine gun, wounding Hoop in the shoulder. Defenseless as Lamar approaches, all hope seems lost until Kato arrives and shoots back at Lamar, forcing him to flee out the back door. Hoop suggests they go after the guy he shot, as someone is hobbling around the city right now, but Terry decides that simply think and regroup instead.

### Abducting Slick

Terry is followed by Slick and two other goons from 12th Street to a local auto shop. Unbeknownst to them, it is a trap. Hoop, Dink, and Sockie run up on Slick, who has a limp from being shot, and put him in the back of Terry's trunk. They take him to a warehouse and torture him for the location of their stolen weight.

The 50 Boyz are arrested and brought in for questioning following the death of Detective Lopez. However, when they refuse to talk, DRANO is forced to release them.
