Two teenage boys rolling dice behind a building in an alley become involved in a heated argument which almost evolves into a fistfight! But before it escalates to that level, they hear the police arriving! They must have have been called!

The two teenagers run down the street and hide themselves behind a bench.

After the police have gone, they emerge from behind the bence, confident that they have evaded arrest once again!

They won't come back to this place again!
They'll find another place where they'll be less likely to be found out!

This time, because the police were arriving, things calmed down, and violence was avoided!

Next time, there might be a different turn of events, producing a totally different outcome!

Next time, things might rage out of control!
And these two teenagers might just become just another statistic!
