Tahir was one of your hoodrat buddies. He was in a gang but you weren't really into his social life like that. You guys lived in the same neighborhood so you basically grew up together. And one thing you knew about Tahir was that he didn't grow up in the best caring family.

You and Tahir were walking together after school per usual, laughing and talking about really anything. A few blocks away from your neighborhood he spoke.

"Yo ima head out this way. Gotta get up wid da gang, aight?"
