The begining (1)

Jake's POV
________

Another night passed. A night where I would once again need to Hotwire a car just to get back home. I sighed as I sat in the drivers seat, fidgeting with some wires while I tried to get the car to start.

"Usually the keys are in the ignition.." I said to myself as the car started. I put on my seatbelt, leaning back in the seat and moving my hips forward so I could reach the gas pedal and brakes.

It was a silent ride, one that may be my last for a while. I watched the road, getting annoyed as a talk show advertisement started playing on the radio. I turned it off and continued to enjoy the quiet ride.

Once I arrived at home, I saw about three police cars sitting in the driveway. My eyes slightly widened and I stopped the car. Trying to think of what I should do.

*tap tap*

I turned to my left, seeing an officer standing outside my window. "Roll the window down lad." He said firmly. I did as he said. He recognized me and immediately forced me out of the car.

That's the first time I had been arrested. At the time I was about 16-17 years old. That's how my criminal record started. But...it didn't end there. My brother, who also had a criminal record, helped to make my situation worse.

"Jeongseong!" I quietly yelled as I got into the truck he had just stolen. Looking through the rear view mirror in the back of the truck. Seeing the 20 stolen turkeys we were going to re-sell for Christmas. "What Jakey?" He replied as he Hot-wired the car. "I saw a cop car! Step on it!" I shouted, the car accelerating almost immediately after I finished my sentence.

As we sped away, a cop cars lights were seen through the trees. Forcing us to stop as we knew we were cornered. I heard my brother Jeongseong sigh as he got out of the car, lifting his hands above his head. I did the same, seeing multiple officers approach us. Their tasers in hand in case we made a wrong move.

"You just stole 20 turkeys. What's your excuse?" An officer asked as more of them came out of the cars. Large flashlights blinding me as they shined them in my direction. "It was my fault!" Jeongseong yelled as they were about to take me. "He didn't know I was stealing them.." he added while he hung his head low. The officers then brought me home. Bringing Jeongseong into questioning.

After that night, every time I would go to work, once the sun started to set. Officers would pull me out of work to question me. Sometimes they would question me about small crimes that would take place nearby. Such as a simple bar of chocolate being stolen from a gas station. But sometimes they would even question me about physical assault... or even murder.

The more this happened, the more I began to despise the law. Instead of me thinking they were trying to help everyone, my mind told me they were the enemies.

That's when I had an idea.

I thought. Since they think I'm this horrible person and criminal..

...

Why not become what they think I am.
