INT. CRACK HOUSE - DAY

Two KIDS, (17 and 15) stand in front of a rundown crack house on the day of 10/31/1999. 

KID 1

Woah, look at all this money they're passing around!

KID 2

Yeah, it's crazy! I wonder what kind of business they're running in there?

A shady-looking man steps out of the crack house and notices the kids.

SHADY MAN

What are you two doing here?

The kids glance at each other nervously.

KID 1

Uh, nothing. We were just leaving.

The man stares at them suspiciously.

SHADY MAN

You better be careful. This is no place for kids.

The kids quickly say their goodbyes and start walking away. As they do, the man calls after them.

SHADY MAN

(yelling)

Don't come back here!

The kids continue walking away, glancing back nervously until they are out of sight. 

FADE OUT.

EXT. STREET CORNER - DAY

Two 15-year-old kids, John and Jane, stand at the corner of a busy street. John looks around nervously, as if he's looking for something.

Where do they get their drugs from?

Jane

(scoffs) Don't you know better than to ask that kind of question?

John

(hesitates) Yeah, I guess.

EXT. STREET CORNER - TEN YEARS LATER

John and Jane are now in their mid-twenties. They stand in the same spot as they did a decade ago.

(looking around) You think we can get some cocaine here?

John

(smiles) Yeah, I guess they do.

FADE OUT

INT. APARTMENT - DAY

Two young kids, John and Tony, sit in an apartment, discussing investments. They are discussing stocks and how to make money. 

John: "We can even put money in stocks, making billions in investments."

Tony: "Yeah, that could work. Let's do it!"

Suddenly, they hear gunshots outside. John quickly grabs a gun and tells Tony to get one as well.

John: "We're involved in a shoot-out and nobody's hit. Who was that? You and I don't even know who that was."

Tony: "Let's go!"

John and Tony run out of the apartment, looking around for the source of the gunshots. Suddenly, they see a figure following them.

John: "It's time to go!"

The two of them quickly run away, not looking back. 

EXT. CITY STREET - DAY

John and Tony make it back home, safe and sound. They look back at the figure, relieved that they made it out alive.

John: "We can't believe we got out of there unscathed."

Tony: "I know. That was a close call."
