Who: Roy Harper, Conner Kent
When: Late Friday night.
Where: A less-reputable 'burb of Los Angeles.
What: Conner sneaks out to get a few hours of freedom from schedules and expectations. Stupid teenager moves have serious consequences.
Rating: PG-13ish for probable violence.
Sneaking out hadn't been the best of ideas, but Conner was sixteen and felt invincible. Really, he'd just wanted room to breathe, without the pressure of a schedule or parental demands. Sneaking out felt like a way to do something he wanted to do, even if it was ill-advised and would land him in a heap of trouble if caught. Consequences? Pfft. If he was careful and smart enough, he could dodge 'em. There had been a party at one of his teammates' houses. He'd gone, chatted with some of his football buddies, been awkward and silent with a girl, and then gotten in the 'borrowed' car to go home. An hour later? He was lost in a seriously terrible part of town. When the gas tank started to creep towards empty, Conner had to admit defeat and pull over. Gas first. Then he'd figure out where he was and get home. The problem was the other people lurking around the gas station. Young kid, obviously not from the neighborhood and driving his mother's fairly nice car? Yeah. He was going to attract unwanted attention. Three guys started wandering Conner's way. |
