Chapter 1: The Beginning
We open to an Asian man lying on a bed staring up into the ceiling. He is deep in thought and as we look around the room we see dozens of pistols, rifles, and bullets scattered around everywhere along with few alcohol bottles lining the floor.
The man begins to narrate;
"My name is Rokuro Okajima, but most people call me 'Rock'. Let me tell you a little about myself. I am a killer, I say that not because I did it for fun, but because it's what I am and it is what people pay for…"
"Now I'm not just gonna sit here and try to give you a positive view on me no. You can criticize me all you want; I don't give a shit… But it's probably best if I just start from the beginning."
~Flashback~
We see a city with Chinese and Japanese designs;
"I was born in Chinatown in New York City, but I grew up in the gang controlled areas of the town. There was beggars, thieves, and just plain psychos all around. But it was the best my parents could afford."
"My father was a small-time noodle shop owner, and you might not think much of it but that's where your wrong… My father was a member… of the Sun Yee On… The most dangerous and powerful Triad in the US."
"He became a member as a way of repaying his debt to the Sun Yee On for arranging him and my mother's immigration. Now I know what your thinking; 'A Japanese man working for a Chinese crime syndicate'… Well you'd be surprised to know that being Chinese isn't a prerequisite."
We switch to a seen in front of a high school and a teenage boy at the entrance:
"Eventually my parents decided to send me to school. My father was especially concerned with this. He wanted me to get an education more than anyone. He said it was 'so I don't end up like him'. But I already knew everything about him; his life, his past his 'activities', and frankly… I couldn't blame him."
"Now the only thing shittier than the neighborhood we were living in… Were the assholes I met. Most of those kids at school weren't even 18 yet and they were already into crime; The Bloods, The Crips, hell even The Blue Lanterns."
"The other they had more in common than their personalities, was that none of them were official. They were all small-time or just going through the initiation process and the would beat up or kill anyone to join the gangs… You could say I had my work cut out for me."
We get a look inside the school:
"In a filthy crime ridden town like this, you'd expect even the schools would be pretty fucking shitty... Well your right. That place was just hell everyday, I was 14 at the time and I already had people that wanted me dead."
We switch to a courtyard with picnic tables all around many kids were talking and eating lunch and over by the far side of the yard we see Rock just plainly eating his food. "Hey man what's up" Rock turns to see three African-American boys, all older and bigger than he was, sitting around him. "I see you new that this place nigga, why don't we show you the lay of the land homie?" said the boy wearing the red bandana around his head. Rock didn't even flinch, for the past 14 years of living in a rough neighborhood he managed to become brave, and tough over time. "No thanks, and I ain't your homie" said Rock.
Out of nowhere one of the other boys grabbed Rock by the back of his neck and they dragged him into a secluded part of the yard and he was fighting to break free but the pinned him up against the wall and the boy in the red bandana pulls out a knife and threatens Rock with it.
"Listen you chink motherfucker, let me tell you this only once; We run the school! So if you decide to fuck with us imma come to your place and kill you motherfucker! and just so you get the idea..."
The boy takes the knife and slices Rock's eyebrow giving him a nasty cut which was immediately gushing blood. Rock decided to fight back. He head-butt's the boy holding his right arm and as he falls to the ground Rock throws a right hook into the Boy with the knife's jaw and Rock quickly catches the knife in mid air and stabs the boy holding his left arm in the shoulder with it.
After everyone of his assailant's are down Rock gets on top of the Red Bandana boy and holds the knife to his throat and says... "Listen, you just put me in a very bad mood and I will stab you when I'm done talking" Rock said in a sinister tone, "but if you or anyone of your fuckbuddies comes near me again, I will personally make sure that you end up on your moms front door as a headless corpse!" and after saying that Rock did good on his threat and stabbed the boy right in the stomach. He drops the knife and proceeds to grab his things and walk away.
~End Flashback~
"After that little spaz, nobody ever fucked with me again. It was only the next day that my parents got word of it... And let me tell you... they went ballistic. My father walked into my room a little later and told me to come to the living room; said their was someone there to meet me. When I waked in I was surprised to find that Uncle Lee, the head of the Sun Yee On was there."
I quickly bow to him and sit down.
"Rock, it is Rock is it not?" asked Lee. "Yes sir it is" said Rock". "He proceeds to tell me about how he heard of what I did to those motherfuckers and how he was impressed, obviously getting praised by your dad's boss is good. But it wasn't for my father. Uncle Lee plainly asked me if I wanted to join the Sun Yee On, I was shocked and speechless and I look over at my Father and he gives me a nod. With that I quickly say yes, and I was initiated on the spot."
