Day 3- 8:30am

"Hey, boss." Ryan greeted Insanity, "Good morning." He replied as everyone gathered around.

"Alright!" Insanity yelled loudly to get everyone to quiet down. "This is the plan today. Wes, I want you to take Brooke and Ryder on to 2nd street, and I-" Insanity was interrupted by Wes.

"I'm sorry to interrupt, but 2nd street is kind of a dangerous place. Especially for newbies around here." He said nervously, "Wes, I just hired two of the best dealers around, and I don't think you need to worry." Insanity replied irritated. The older man nodded and stepped back.

"I can't believe Insanity brought you guys out here." Wes said with a sigh, "Why?" Beckett replied as they drove in an older red car towards 2nd street.

"This is where those 'I'm gonna kill you if you don't give me the crack right now for free' kind of guys lurk."

Ryan looked at Beckett nervously. They had to admit they were both nervous. "Well, we can handle it." Ryan said with fake confidence.

"I can tell you're nervous." Wes said not surprised, "I'm not nervous." He replied spitefully.

"Listen boy, I've got a nice bull shit detector. That's why my son, Calvin, can never beat me at poker."

Ryan remained silent and a bit embarrassed as the older man talked. "Remember, don't play that 'tough guy thing'. It doesn't work...at least for me. Shane, you have a lot to learn about being on the streets so young."

"You're not my dad." Kevin said fiercely. Beckett was even surprised on how he played his character so good. "From looking at you, I don't wanna be."

"Shut up!" He yelled. Wes stepped on the brakes and yanked Ryan out of the car and into an alley with Beckett following nervously.

"Guys! That's enough!" She yelled, "You better learn some respect, boy." Wes said throwing him onto the mucky ground,

"I'm. Not. Your. Son!" Ryan yelled and threw a punch right in his jaw. He planned for Wes to fall down, but that didn't go as planned. Wes didn't flinch and Ryan's plan backfired. Wes hit him right in the skull knocking him out.

"Is he ok?" Beckett asked running to his side, "Yep. He's fine. I use to do it to my son when he younger."

Beckett gave him a disgusted look. "I don't think that was necessary. I see you get angry easily."

"I won't do it again. Only did it because it was going to happen sooner or later so, you know."

"Anyways, I like Shane. I respect him too." He added.

"What do you mean? He just punched you, and you punched him back." Beckett pointed out confused.

"He's tough and wants respect. That's a good trait to have. However, he'll have to learn not to get carried away."

Him and Beckett remained silent until Ryan finally woke. "What the hell happened?" He asked drowsy. "Let's just get out of here." Beckett said angry and they helped Ryan to the car.

"What the hell was that Ryan?!" Beckett yelled in their apartment, "I'm just playing the part." He said calmer, "You're going to get us kicked out of the gang, and are mission will fail!" Beckett replied.

Ryan remained silent. "I'm starting to think this river runs deeper." Beckett said, "What's up?" She asked.

"When I was twelve, my mom and my dad had to go somewhere. So, they dropped me off, along with my sisters, to an old friends house out in Virginia. He had this really nice dairy farm with his family. We ended up staying there for about a year."

Beckett was confused, but realized he wasn't done. "He told everyone I was his son, but he was a bad man."

"What did he do?" She asked, "No one knew. Not even his family, but he would take me far from the farm and he would take all these things with him, and just beat me in the woods until I passed out. Then, he would throw me in the lake for exactly two minutes. And finally, he would revive me and bring me home and say I fell down a rocky hill."

"God, I'm sorry Kevin." Beckett said sympathetically, "That's not all. Kirk, that was his name, had a son, Danny. Since Kirk pretended to love me so much, I guess Danny picked it up, and got jealous. He always humiliated me at school, beat me after school with his gang."

His partner remained silent. "That's when my mom and dad finally came to bring us back home. The last thing Kirk said to me was, "If you tell your parents, "I'll bring you back here, and Danny and I can kill you together."

"Did you tell your parents?" She asked, "Like my stupid self, I did a week later thinking he forgot about the threat."

"I have the feeling he comes back." She said nervously, "Ya. Ya he does."

"I was walking home by myself from basketball practice, and Danny came and threw me into Kirk's van. The cops came by and questioned them. Next thing I know, they were drowning me in that lake I was talking about. I blacked out. In the end, my family realized I was finally missing, called the cops, and they alerted their police."

"We're you ok?' She asked quietly, "I'm alive. But that just proves how far people will go."

"Did they ever catch them?" She added, "Ya. Danny was 18, so he went to jail for attempted murder, same thing for Kirk." Ryan concluded. She gave him a hug. "I'm sorry." Beckett comforted him, "It's all good now."

Ok, not the best chapter, but I thought I should have a little back story on Ryan. Anyways, hope you enjoyed!
