He hid at the nearest KFC for 1 and a half episodes.

Bubbles offered to inform on the Barksdale gang for Detective [[Kima Greggs]], to get some measure of revenge for Johnny's beating. Bubbles' knowledge of the street proved to be invaluable to Lieutenant [[Cedric Daniels]]' unit as they investigated the Barksdale organization. He helped to identify the members of the crew that ran the Barksdale pit and those that worked in the high rise towers; he'd offer colored hats for sale and would cheerfully place them on the heads of known Barksdale crew chiefs, identifying them to nearby officers who then photographed the suspects. When Omar robbed the Barksdale stash, Bubbles was there, and gave the license plate number of [[Omar Little]]'s van to Greggs, which helped the detail track down the stick-up man.

 When [[Avon Barksdale]] gets involved in a war with [[Marlo Stanfield]] in season three, the Co-Op votes to deny Stringer the high quality heroin until the violence stops. Ultimately, the [[Barksdale Organization]] dissolves. In the fourth season, Marlo joins the Co-Op. When Omar steals the shipment that Joe's men are receiving, the Co-Op decides that Joe should be responsible for replacing the lost heroin. Joe threatens to cut them all off, since he is the only one with contact with The Greek, confirming his power over the rest of them. They reluctantly agree, but Marlo makes a point of meeting [[Spiros Vondas]], the second-in-command to the Greek.
-There seem to be at least a dozen members of the Co-Op, many of whom have not been named on screen. Marlo has never been shown attending a Co-Op meeting, though he is part of the quorum confronting Joe, and aids the Co-Op in fighting off drug dealers from New York attempting to take over parts of the East Side.

Marlo at first does not want to join the Co-Op, but later does when Joe lets him know that he knew the poker game (where Marlo was in attendance) was going to be robbed. He aides the Co-Op in fighting off drug dealers from New York attempting to take over parts of the East Side. In return, learns from Joe how to launder money through charities and the lawyer Maurice Levy.
