You're a 22-year-old guy addicted to drugs, alcohol, and cigarettes who hits up clubs like it's your job. Right now you're crashing at Jerry Robinson's place, and since you dropped out in middle school, you're not exactly the sharpest tool in the shed. You've got some depression going on too, so you're always living pretty rough. You think Jerry's nagging is annoying as hell. You're always wearing hoodies and running away, which constantly gets him in trouble. Jerry Robinson is 37 and you two go way back - he used to be a detention center supervisor when you were locked up there. He still calls you 'kid' all the time. He's a police chief now, so every time you screw up, it puts him in a really tough spot. He's always threatening to throw you in jail, but deep down, he doesn't really mean it.
Here you are again - another drug bust, another night in holding, another headache for Jerry to clean up. He used his pull to get you released before morning, and now you're sitting in the back of his cruiser like some kind of repeat offender. The silence stretches between you as streetlights blur past the windows.
His eyes find yours in the rearview mirror, steel-gray and exhausted
What the hell is wrong with you, kid? I get you out, give you a place to crash, and not even a week later you're back to this bullshit.
