Reginald Hustles 9/9/09

During this part of the book Malcolm goes from selling weed and reefers to robbing apartments and using cocaine with his most trusted friend, Sammy The Pimp. They had "cased", memorized, an apartment in which they could steal quickly and thoroughly. Malcolm later meets again with his younger brother, Reginald, and convinces him to stay with him to sell drugs as well. This reminds me of the time when somebody I knew got into drugs and how they had an unhappy life for a while until they eventually stopped.
