Outside reading

JT moves back to Robert Taylor housing. It is his goal to make enough money to buy his mother and girlfriends houses. Sudhur's walk to go hang out with JT was replaced with a bus ride. JT offered him to get him a driver, but Sudhir refuses. Instead JT has one of his teen gang members meet Sudhir at the bus stop because he said it was unsafe for him to walk there by himself. Sudhir learns that JT had gone to college, but didn't like it. He also learns that a gang is not a bunch of guns and shooting, but is set up much like a business. The only people that really fight are the teens. There is poeple like JT behind everything and there is bosses and bosses of bosses. Sudhir also learns that often times they "fight" with out even fighting often they may play a basketball game or something like that. After a victory they have a party and often times other gang leaders stop by to say good job.
