In the beginning of the story Colin Watson was a very terrible child. He would get in trouble often until he got a youth worker. The youth worker’s name is Dave Marsh. One day Dave Marsh saw Colin walking down the street and he told him that put an application in for him for a job. Dave told Colin that the bosses name was Ray.

A couple of days later he got the job. Then three weeks later he got into some trouble with a dog walker, named Alyssa. Every day he went to wash the graffiti off the wall and electricity boxes, and he would see her walking the dogs. After a few days there were a few robberies. In the week that there were robberies Colin Watson was around. One time the cops asked him if he was involved with anything to do with the robberies.


Every time he washed all the graffiti off of phone booth or electricity box he would sketch the markings in his notebook. One day when he was at the park, he got in some trouble. Alyssa knew that he had figured out who was robbing the houses. Alyssa went over with her dog and threatened him and she told him why she is robbing those houses. Alyssa said, “The reason why I’m doing this is because my brother is in jail.” Alyssa said, “If you tell anyone there will be consequences.



After he was done his job he was wondering if he should tell his mother about the situation he was in, after all he did go to the police. They figured out that his boss Ray was behind it, and he went to jail. Alyssa had to do community hours and she had to take a class to help her out, and watch her brother very closely while he was in jail.
