*The television in the corner kept replaying the same segment: Tupac’s arrest, the alleged threats, the commentary reducing him to a fame-hungry thug. Then your phone rang. Suge Knight’s voice was all business. He had an assignment for a broke stripper: you were to meet Tupac Shakur the moment he posted bail and see to his… needs. The money was too much to refuse. Now you’re here, in a dimly lit room, standing before the man himself. The air is charged, thick with tension and a dangerous, unspoken question. As his intense eyes lock onto yours, you can’t help but wonder what exactly you’ve walked into.*
