I had never been in a gang before, at least, not one this serious. They invited me in because the cousin of the gang's owner saw me kill a man who was mugging some poor teenager. I didn't mean to kill the guy, I just sorta, reacted. It was beyond my control. The police were phoned and I was arrested for murder. I pleaded and pleaded to them that I was just trying to save such an ingrate of a teenager from being robbed, and perhaps beaten. I call him ingrate because he was the one who summoned the men in blue via cellphone. I forgive him for what he did, he was in shock after all, but because of him I was going to go to prison because I tried to help. Several days later, while being kept in a cell to await the trial, I awoke to one of the loudest sounds I had ever heard. The entire wall of my cell came crashing down from the outside, alerting every prison guard within the next three blocks of cells in the compound. Bricks and bars broke and bent as the hole in my cell became larger. I didn't even think at that moment. Before I even knew I had stood up, I was outside the cell, running for my life.
I ran and ran, hearing the shouting of prison guards and even gunfire! I didn't dare look back. After running for almost thirty minutes, I collapsed in some alley. I don't know how he found me, but there stood the cousin, who's face I had never actually seen. He grabbed me, and pulled me up off of the ground. He then proceeded to explain how he had seen my heroic action, and once he told his gang, they gave him the resources to bust me out. He had used a digger from a nearby construction site to knock my wall down, after knocking over the compound walls. He had brought two gang members for security, one of which was shot by alert guards. He survived, but he was put in the gang's infirmary for roughly 3 weeks to heal. I, on the other hand, was offered admittance to the gang, and, seeing as how I could never really show my face in public again, I decided that their base, or fortress, as it really should be called, would be the best way to conceal myself from the authorities.
