Michael's POV:

My life's story isn't exactly normal or simple. I grew up in a rough neighborhood with my mom, and once I was eighteen, I decided to join the military. I though it was a good idea to join because it would take me off the streets and give me the opportunity to make something of myself. And it did exactly that. After serving five years in the military, I decided to go back home to Miami, and join the police department. I felt obligated to fight the war on our own streets, instead of overseas.

It wasn't long after I joined that I was assigned my first case. I was suppose to become a member of the "Culo malo" gang. So I hit the streets and did some dirty work for the gang. It took three months, but I finally became apart of the gang, along with becoming Mateo Hernandez's right hand man. Mateo is the gang leader of the "Culo malo." I ran some pretty dangerous jobs for him, so he repaid me by moving me up in the ranks.

For awhile my case was going fine, until Mateo took me over to his house. Which is where I met her.

Mateo's sister, Leticia, was sitting at the kitchen table doing some college homework. She was dressed in a waitress outfit. Her hair was parted to the side, while her left hand was holding up her head. Her right hand held her pencil, as she wrote over the paper.

From that day on, things changed for me.

I started developing feelings for Leticia. It wasn't long before we started hanging out with each other, and then we began secretly dating. I knew I shouldn't be dating Leticia, and for numerous reasons, like me working for the cops and being under cover, especially since she was the sister of a gang leader (my under cover boss), but I couldn't help myself. Leticia was beautiful, smart, and kind. She didn't like her brother's drug business. All she wanted to do was graduate law school and become a lawyer. That is probably another reason why I like her. It was because she reminded me of me and my very own past situation.

Now there is more to my life story, and I think you are going to want to hear more. So stay tuned.
