Welcome to the Underworld

This is how things go:

You start skipping class. Perhaps, you steal cigarettes from your Mom's stash. Eventually, you become bold and start pilfering little trinkets, candy, etc. from local merchants. It's a thrill, and you get away with it. You involve yourself in shady goings-on in the neighborhood. You watch the adults hustle. Soon they begin to notice your curiousity with predatory eyes.

In the world of the criminal underground, juveniles are a disposable asset. They don't do real time if they are pinched and are easy to replace if they meet a bad end.

By the time you've reached eighteen, is there any getting out of the life?
