Sean bounced off the truck with a thud. He rolls and lands face down in the mud. This fifteen year old, all American student coughs and spits out a dark liquid as he pushes himself up. Something is jabbing into his chest, and its getting harder to breathe. Ca n't think about it, got to keep moving. He looks left, then right. Flashlights dance in the distance, like little beams of fate. 
 
 `` Shit.'' 
 
 Sean glances up at the building he had jumped from. How the hell did he survive? It must have been a three story drop. Lights flicker there too, breaking through the rain. 
 
 He hears his mom's voice somewhere to his right. One of the lights stops moving. 
 
 `` Sean, honey, its time.'' 
 
 Another beam hovers next to the first. 
 
 `` Listen to your mother. We have an arrangement. We've upheld our part of the deal. Now its you're turn. You're a man now, its time to take some responsibility.'' 
 
 Sean stumbles to his feet and looks down. He can make out a short metal spoke jutting from his left side. Luckily its gone all the way through. No time to worry about that. He grimaces and trudges toward the darkness. Away from his parents. Away from this bargain he'd seemingly made when he was born. 
 
 He grits his teeth and curses. 
 `` Three more hours. I fucking hate birthdays.''
