As Tommy watched the news his friends face came up. It was told that he was in jail for dealing drugs. The reporter told that there were more charges coming. It was said that he had killed a man over a drug deal. This was all a shock to Tommy for he thought that his friend was so nice. That there was no way that he was doing all that this lady had said. All he knew was that he had to get to the bottom of this. Then next day he went to his mothers house to find out what was going on. When he went up to the house everything was gone, they had moved out. Things were just not what he had thought that they would be. The one thing he wondered, was the family in on all of this and how long.

The next day Tommy went to a cop friend that filled him in on what was going on. It was a good thing that he was sitting down for he heard things that he never thought that he would believe. That Dan was in with the family to sell drugs out of the house. That the family did not move but they were all in jail. Tommy thought that the family was very nice and normal. Come to find out that all that was a act. Then one thing that hurt was that Dan did not have the guts to tell him the truth. It was just something that he knew would be hard to forgive.

Before he could see Dan the news came down that he was killed in jail. It seemed that one other drug dealer got some stuff from him and it was bad. He found out that he was in the same jail and that was when he found him and killed him. It was as all that he did to cover up his life, that it all came to an end in jail.
