Pepa did as Gavin told her to and here’s how Gavin narrowly escaped death afterwards:
“I jumped in my car and pulled off. Gavin isn’t a fighter. He was kind of skinny and he wasn’t really a street dude. But he was quick thinking and saved my baby’s life. I saw Gavin take off running. He might fake you out, but he never punks out.
The murderer guy must have sensed that if he chased Gavin and beat him to death, there was a good possibility that he would get caught. So he decided to run in the other direction. They caught him a week later. But I will never forget Gavin for that, and I couldn’t thank him enough.”
After that terrifying ordeal, Pep’ and Gavin’s friendship grew tighter, and she respected him so much, that she decided to hook him up with her homegirl, Salt:
“I had told Cheryl (Salt) all kinds of stories about him before they even met, and by the time they did meet, he was already a hero in her mind. I knew they would hit it off.”
And the rest is history!
