Early Monday morning on September 18, back in the day, Aku was extremely angry and upset because of the murder of Uncle Freddie in South Carolina. What prompted his anger was that the killer’s hideout was known by young Rudy and his family, who lived in Columbia at the time. Aku wanted “this piece of shit permanently horizontal” and put in the ground. As soon as Michael Tombs arrived at Aku’s after-hours club, the go-go girls were on the stage, working the poles and dancing. The setup girls had the tricks in the club, singing Prince’s “Let’s Go Crazy.” The club’s customers were buying drinks and enjoying the R&B music. Dice games, movies, and card games were available in the casino. Tombs suggested to Aku as they sat down in the VIP private room, “We should go down to Columbia, South Carolina, and pay young Rudy’s family a visit over the weekend.” Aku calmed down once Michael Tombs arrived on Monday night. “We smoked some Acapulco gold in his office, and I suggested that we should get this matter cleared up immediately.”
