Lawrence nodded. "Dean, girls who get involved in gangs and start dealing Silver at such a young age generally come from unbearable family conditions and drop out of school early. They often have decent looks, the type other kids their age might see as having a special charm—the 'bad girls.' There have been cases before where, after a prostitute was disciplined by the gang controlling her, it provoked her suitors into a retaliatory shooting. So I suspect this is a similar case."
In a country overrun with guns, even eleven or twelve-year-old kids have the ability to kill a strong adult casually. So, what Lawrence suggested wasn't impossible. But this murder was definitely not that simple!
