He starts selling drugs for his so called boss ‘Myrin’. Terry is just like most of the black British boys in south London as he is on a cross road letting him either go the good way where things may take longer or go the bad troublesome way where things are quick at a risk. Like a decent percentage of young black males he decided to leave his path standing tall and surviving knowing that he didn't want to be seeing himself buried 6ft under.
