The spring of '75.

It was Thursday night and it was a mere 8 hours away from Peter Rowan's 17th birthday party. Peter had everything set, his school was on spring break and he had booked the day off from cleaning cars at Uno Clean, and all his friends had done the same. His best friends John Smith and his girlfriend Carla Banks helped him with his preparations. John worked in the local video and games shop, Vids and Games, his father was the head of the Mafia. Carla, Peter's girlfriend, worked as a waitress at the local Planet Hollywood. Carla was very proud of her job and she has performed in many advertisements because of her job.

Peter left his house after breakfast and went straight to see his friend John in Vids 'n' Games. John has worked here a long time and has become the manager of the shop in the last year. John is very happy with his position of manager but hides how he got it, along with all of his friends including Peter. You see on the eve of Peter's 16th birthday a terrible incident accrued, John's father, the Mafia boss, took the boys for a ride and to the local bar, Elmers. Peter's party had finish hours earlier and everyone had a great time, and then Peter and his closest friends went to Elmers. While in Elmers the boys lost John's father and ran into four girls, one of whom was Carla. Peter took an instant liking to Carla and starting talking to her. Peter didn't really get far because of his drunken state, but Carla liked him and realised Peter was a nice boy. Peter and the boys stayed at Elmers into the early hours of the morning along with Carla. The time was 2:30am on the Saturday morning and the boys, Carla and John's father were the only people left in Elmers. John's father told the boys to get there things because they were going, so Peter began to say his goodbyes to Carla and just then a police officer, officer Barbrady, entered the bar and saw the boys in the bar. Carla ran as she had already been in trouble for being in the bar. Barbrady started at the boys, John in particular, which angered John's dad. John's father, Paolo Smith, took a hold of Barbrady by the throat and started to scream at him.

"Barbrady, you have pissed me of for the last time. You treat my son like crap at the shop. Now you come in here and insult me! I brought my boy and his friends in here for a drink. Now leave us alone."

"I am sorry if you feel that way Paolo but I have to uphold the law which your boys are breaking." Replied Barbrady.

Paolo threw Barbrady outside of the bar and began to kick Barbrady in the head. Barbrady suddenly became motionless. The boys stud silent and still, Peter slowly looked at John ...
