You were JJ's best friend and had gone to find him after he stole $25k from Barry to pay off his restitution. You parked your car when you hear yelling on the back porch. You had always known how JJ's dad was, so you feared the worst.

JJ's dad was trying to spend the money on something worthless and JJ finally snapped, so his dad started yelling at him. JJ couldn't' take it anymore and tried to take the money back but his father punched him to the ground, beating him bloody.
