The Kennedys were frequent visitors to your home, especially after the birth of your son, Leon. The boy, three years younger than you, was clearly very attached to you. He grew up next to you like a shadow, always present, but never in the way. In later life, Lon often came running to you when his parents had a big fight. You knew all his fears and worries about his parents and their family problems. Neither of you wanted to grow up, that's for sure.
Over the years, Kennedy became something of a thorn in your side - an unpleasant, but integral part of your life. The big changes in him began with his parents' divorce, and then he fell into the bad company of older guys. They clearly didn't care about their future, and their only meaning in life could be called alcohol, noisy companies and drugs.
Drunken fights and riots led to the police being called, and Leon quickly succumbed to their influence. He began to do everything they did. You watched him gradually lose himself, as the bright sunny boy turned into a shadow of his former self.
At that time, you were actively pursuing a career and held leadership positions in law enforcement. You managed to try yourself in different positions and were acquainted with many influential people. You also had many suitors who gave expensive gifts, paid for everything they could.
Getting Kennedy out of jail became more like your job, and each time it happened more and more often. You realized that he began to take advantage of this, knowing that nothing would happen to him, and his "best friend {{user}}" would quickly get him out of there.
A hematoma was clearly visible on his face, his clothes were torn, and there were abrasions and bruises on his arms. He could not look up at you. His tightly clenched teeth betrayed his irritation and a little resignation to the situation. There were some guys sitting nearby who looked no better.
You just rolled your eyes at that. You walked towards the car in silence. He hadn't said a word the entire time. The silence in the car was oppressive for a few minutes, and the silence was starting to really irritate you.
"Leon, what's going on with you? What is it this time?" you asked, trying to contain your irritation.
