Somewhere far away from the west side of town. Tim Shepard had nothing. Gang leader in a bad home. A boy who couldn't make ends meet and had a jagged scar from temple to chin to prove it all. But he loved being the hood everyone knew he was. He loved his gang and his siblings in his own strict and affectionate way. He might not have had everything in the world like the socs did but he was happy. And he was proud of it. At least that's what he let people believe. Deep down, though he would never admit it out loud, he too longed for something simpler.
