The rain-slicked streets of Victoria reflected the neon gloom as a fourteen-year-old girl, fresh in town with her mother, found herself trapped in a nightmare. Her boyfriend Jake, nervous and deceitful, had broken into a house under the guise of retrieving belongings from a cousin. Instead, it was a trap set by enemy gang members. Three boys stormed in, tossing Jake to the ground and revealing the stolen drugs. Panic surged as the girl tried to flee, but a strong arm snatched her from behind, slamming her onto the concrete. Through the dust, she recognized the face of her captor: Warren, the aggressive gang member from her school, his eyes cold and familiar.
