He moves out of his house at seventeen, leaving his mom alone. He blows all his cash and ends up in the ghetto, where he inhales one of his 250 overall cans of Sploosh a day, and drinks two jars of old spiced peaches a night.
His overall phone bill consists of nothing but 911 calls, and no-one he knows personally has seen him in the years he's disappeared. He starts getting into cocaine, Valium, crack, and heroin. He regularly visits the emergency room and rehabilitation centre. Stanley eventually finds out after finding his long lost best friend rocking back and forth in an alley, saying something in German.
Stanley tell's Zero's mom and she goes out to find him. Once she finds her pale, sick, red-eyed baby she takes him back and gets his life on track.
He turns twenty, gets a job as a rapper, makes an album, a record label and a necklace line, and stars in various music videos, TV shows and movies.
He changes his name to Khleo Thomas.
