Biography[]
Drexl Spivey is a pimp and drug dealer in Detroit. He does most of his business with a mobster named "Blue" Lou Boyle, and Boyle's associate, Vincenzo Coccotti. Drexl "thinks he's black"; he speaks in Ebonics, wears his hair in dreadlocks and sports gold teeth.
Drexl and his bodyguard Marty are first seen in a hotel with a drug dealer named Big Don and his associate to buy cocaine. During a raunchy conversation about "eating pussy", Drexl kills Big Don and his associate and he and Marty take the cocaine.
Drexl takes in a young woman named Alabama Whitman, a girl from Tallahassee, Florida who came to Detroit to get away from her home. She works for him for him for 3 days, and disappears. Soon afterward, Alabama's new husband, Clarence Worley, shows up at Drexl's apartment and says that she will not be working for him anymore. Drexl demands to compensated for his time and "peace of mind". Clarence hands him an envelope that he says contains what Drexl's "peace of mind" is worth, "and not a penny more"; the envelope is empty.
Enraged, Drexl fights Clarence, and with Marty's help gets the upper hand. He finds Clarence's address in his wallet and tells Marty to go there and bring Alabama back. Clarence pulls out a gun, kills Marty, and shoots Drexl in the groin and face, killing him. He also unknowingly takes Drexl's cocaine, setting the rest of the story in motion.
