Then when Nathan was nine his father got into a horrible car accident and died instantly. The only family that Nathan had left was his father's brother, Nathan's uncle, who was a mean and abusive alcoholic. Everyday he was getting verbally and physically abused. One day, at ten years old he decided to take his uncle's car out for a ride. Being the mean man that he is, he called the cops and had Nathan sent to a Juvenile Detention Cener until he was eighteen. Nathan being very small for his age did not too well in the Detention Center. He got beat up and made fun of everyday he was there.
After a little while, Nathan couldn't take it anymore. Even the guards were beating on him. The day came, one of the guard came into the cell and what he saw was a knife, alot of blood and Rich, one of the guards, lying dead on the floor, and no Nathan. Was it self-defense or a kid trying to escape "jail". Nathan is now running the streets trying to get someone to believe him, the killing was self-defense.
