Caleb returned home from school to find his father in a foul mood, searching for his briefcase. Caleb's appetite vanished as he watched the scene unfold. His mother, Mrs. Michael, eventually found the briefcase, but Mr. Michael's anger didn't subside.
"You're probably covering up for him," Mr. Michael muttered, his eyes narrowing at his wife. Caleb instinctively defended his mother, saying, "Don't talk to her like that." Mr. Michael's fury turned towards Caleb, but Mrs. Michael intervened, pleading for calm.
The argument ended with Mr. Michael storming out, leaving Caleb feeling relieved. Shortly after, Lucas arrived home, and the brothers decided to catch up and have some fun. Their outing took an unexpected turn, leading them to a seedy bar on a dead-end street.
Despite his initial reservations, Caleb tried to fit in, but his nervousness was evident. The men at the bar, including a dreadlocked individual, took advantage of Caleb's naivety, plying him with alcohol. Meanwhile, Lucas seemed to be enjoying himself, oblivious to the danger lurking around them.
As the night wore on, the situation escalated, with the introduction of Indian hemp. Caleb's discomfort turned to alarm as he realized he needed to escape. His chance came when uniformed men raided the bar, and Caleb managed to slip away unnoticed.
Lucas, however, seemed unfazed by the ordeal, returning home after midnight with a confident swagger. Caleb's concern turned to shock when Lucas pulled out a pack of marijuana from his jeans, leaving him worried about the implications.
