Matt Cross approached me about helping out with the birthday of a fan who had written the team, Johnny Jones Jr. As Cross explained the idea, which involved jumping out of a giant cake to surprise the kid, DeSoto realized this was a fantastic opportunity for his side business. For a long time now DeSoto had been secretly been operating as a cross country drug dealer, and with Johnny Jones Jr. being the only Liberty fan in Mexico, it provided a perfect opportunity for smuggling cocaine within the giant cake. Despite Cross's well established preference for LSD in training camp as previously documented, he was a big narc when it came to cocaine, so he was kept in the dark about the project. DeSoto made sure to buy an extra cake for the party, as the big one would be used to stash the drugs. After the teammates jumped out the cake and brought great joy to the party, DeSoto proclaimed he would clean up the cake himself as a favor, and quickly wheeled the contraband away. When he returned sniffling, he dominated the flag football game, taking it a little too seriously, making absolutely sure Johnny Jones Jr.'s team won. He proceeded to put Johnny on his shoulders and take a sprint around the block. Johnny said he felt like he was flying and that Jimi was way cooler than Matt, at least that's how DeSoto remembered it.
