Revised-They had all heard the stories. The kids that went in there fighting and came out beaten. The kids that came out with that look in their eyes. The kids that never came out at all. Jack had warned them so many times, stay clear of trouble, don't get yourself caught and if you do, get yourself out of there fast. Race had got out but that look in his eyes, what happened?
