The illegal drug trade is a dangerous business. It is especially dangerous within the Mexican mafia - known as The M or La Eme. Life is cheap in the mafia, usually worthless. Most of them end up in prison or dead. Very few have made it out of the business alive. Those few are in witness protection or on the run. It is not a good career choice. There is no 401k or dental either. Johnathon William Clarke had been introduced to the drug trade at an early age as a pot smoker. His parents called him Billy. Everyone else called him "Billy the Kid" because of his boyish face. After an awkward interview, he became a dealer. Billy did well as a dealer and a promotion to courier soon followed. He managed to stay under the radar and had never been busted or rubbed the wrong person the wrong way. La Eme thought he was lucky and he was one of their most trusted couriers. His life was illegal and dangerous but surprisingly simple and relaxed at most times. Things change in an instant in the drug trade and that is exactly what is about to happen to Billy.
