Adrean’s changed behavior raised eyebrows within his family as well as his community.  He hung around with known thugs, and he also banked classes, and sometimes, he would miss school.

His parents were worried but got absorbed and overwhelmed by family businesses. His older sister tried talking to him and wanted to find out if something was causing his peculiar and mischievous behavior. Unfortunately, her investigation was unproductive.

Adrean’s mischievous personality continued. He blamed his parents who were wrapped up in their own habits. They never had time for him, but they were always discussing businesses or having expensive vacations out of town.

Out of the blue, he told his parents that he wanted to change his private school to a known mischievous school. Everybody in the house was speechless and surprised. His father was very furious, and he even left the house and went to a local tavern. Acknowledging their carelessness and no response, Adrean became infuriated and banged the door on his way out.

In an hour, there was a shooting and robbery in the same tavern that his father went to. Later, it was revealed that Adrean’s father was shot and died on the scene, and unfortunately, Adrean pulled a trigger faulty. His mother was shaking in disbelief and agony. The police arrived at the scene, and Adrean was taken for investigation at the police station.
