Chapter 2: Life of Crime
~Two years later~
"After I was initiated into the Sun Yee On, life was good."
We see a montage of Rock doing various odd jobs for Lee; shooting people, robbing, getaway driving, and beating up people who are in debt to the Triad.
"It was only that about a year after I was initiated I found out that my father had stomach cancer. Uncle Lee hired the best doctors to try and treat his disease but they couldn't do much for him… He dies two months later."
"After the funeral, Uncle Lee decided that it would make my father proud if I took his place as the next Red Pole. After thinking his offer over I decided to accept it, Uncle Lee was proud of my achievements and how I became a Red Pole at only 16 years old."
~Another two years later~
"I was 18 years old now and after so much time in the triads I started to wonder what my purpose was, and even who I was."
"After a lot of thinking I decided to do something different with my life. Uncle Lee decided to give me some time off, 'as long as I needed' he said. So I decided to put my skills to good use a different way. It was then that I saw a recruitment poster for the US Marine Corps. When I saw it I thought, 'Well I could do with a little travelling, and I would be defending people for a change'."
" I drove down to the recruitment office and asked to join, after the basic questioning and filling out of paper work, I was gonna be shipped off to Parris Island, for basic training. I knew already knew that I was going to learn how to fight and shoot properly. But what I didn't know was how dangerous I was going to be afterwards."
