 It was a cold and windy night in the city of Directionville. There was nobody to be found in the empty alleyway, besides the local crack addict hiding behind a smelly dumpster. A toyota corolla pulls into the alley, and a blonde girl steps out of the car, followed by a tall, brunette man.

"You got my stuff?" the addict asks. She reaches into her wallet for the cash she had been begging for at the stoplight by Dairy Queen.

"Yeah, here. It's 20 bucks," the man says, handing her a small plastic baggy.

The addict hands the man $17, hoping that they wouldn't notice.

"Damnit Jaiden, you have got to stop trying to pull a fast one on us or we won't sell to you anymore," Kendall, the drug dealer says.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, here is the other 3 dollars, I only have quarters though," Jaiden says, handing the man, Louis, the coins.

"Yeah it's chill, just don't let it hap-" Louis is interrupted by the sounds of sirens.

"Shit! It's the cops!" Kendall says, running back to her vehicle with Louis.

"Wait! Take me with you!" Jaiden pleads.

"Hell no! Get out of here, crackhead," Kendall says as Louis laughs. They quickly drive away, leaving Jaiden to deal with the cop.

The cop car comes to a stop, and a woman steps out of the vehicle, staring at Jaiden.

"I am officer Segura. I'm going to have to ask you to come with me," the cop says. She grabs the baggy from Jaiden and puts her in handcuffs, leading her to the backseat of the cop car. Luz drives to the jail and drops Jaiden off.
