2005:

SAM RHEE HAD GOTTEN INTO ANOTHER FIGHT. He shouldn't have grabbed that gun and shot the man but the bad man wanted to rob him. Sam was only defending himself.

That's what he thought he'd tell the police who had arrested him even if he was underage. The night was long and Sam was asked to make one phone to call to his parents. "I don't have parents," Sam would answer them and they'd tell him to call his guardian.

Sam was left by the phone as he sighed and put the right number in before calling Lance. It was 3am in the morning but Lance went to sleep late. "Who is it?" Pamela answered the call so Sam sighed deeply and put on his sad face.

"Mrs. Morgan... I got beaten by some men and now I'm in the police station," he lied, knowing that getting her like this would work quicker. "Can you... Can you tell Lance where am I so that he could come take me."

There was a long pause from the other end as Sam played with the phone strap impatiently. "I'm sorry, Sam. Your indiscretions are not my priority. I'll tell Lance you called but only when he's awake. Good night."

Sam wanted to add something but she hung up so he sneered and angrily put the phone back in its place as one policewoman approached him. "You're lucky the man you shot survived. It's the fourth person you've assaulted."

"He tried to rob me," Sam glared at the woman who seemed to have a sad and pitiful face. That annoyed Sam as he sat back and got information out of her. A small smirk appeared on his young face. "You're really tired of this job, aren't you?"

The woman furrowed her eyebrows and looked around with a nervous chuckle. "I don't know what you're talking about boy, but I've heard stories about you," she commented dully as Sam smirked. "You almost killed a person when you were only 14... Somehow he took down his accusations... Then three more assault cases where the victims almost came out alive. Also took down their accusations. And now... Now you're 16 with another case. Where did you get that gun?"

"You can't question me without my legal guardian," Sam answered cockily as he didn't break eye contact with her.

The woman scoffed and crossed her arms around her chest. "Wait one more year and you'll be put in jail for all of this," she said angrily so Sam tried to stand up but she didn't let him.

"Where is he?!" suddenly Sam heard a very familiar face. He closed his eyes in annoyance as Miss Good walked in with a young girl with long hair and a heavy make up. Sam had never seen her before but he was already intrigued.
