Blog # 3 - Central Conflict

The central conflict in my novel includes Gecko, Arjay, and Terence, three boys in an experimental halfway house have accidentally put Douglas Healy in the hospital. This occurred when Terence was trying to escape through the fire escape. Arjay and Gecko were struggling to get him back inside when Mr. Healy came out onto the fire escape. As Healy was trying to break up the struggle, he was knocked off balance and fell over the railing. Healy plunged to the ground, and landed in a pile of trash cans. The end result of this was a head injury which caused Healy to lose his memory.
After bringing Healy to the hospital, Gecko, Arjay, and Terence were left to fend for themselves in the heart of Manhattan. Instead of fleeing for their freedom, the three boys stayed and ran the halfway house themselves. They attended school, kept up with their studies, attended community service, and group therapy. They also filed reports and sent them to their social services worker Ms. Vaughn. Hoping Healy would soon recover.
Gecko pretended to be in a volunteer program so he could visit Mr. Healy in the hospital everyday. After Healy recovered from his physical wounds, he was transferred to Bronx County Psychiatric Ward because of his memory loss. After finding this out the boys are feeling more remorse than they already were. "How could someone who isn't crazy be put in the nut house?" is how Terence explains it.
After recieving a call from Ms. Vaughn from social services, stating that she will be visiting them on Wednesday, the boys find out that they need to bust Healy out of the Psych Ward.
With the help of Roxanne, a girl who Gecko met and fell in love with while visiting Healy in the hospital, the trio plan and execute a break and enter of the maximum security Psychiatric Ward. After stealing a laundry truck, picking a couple locks, a high speed pursuit, and almost colliding with a train, Gecko, Arjay, Terence, Roxanne and Healy return to their apartment where yet another dilemma is waiting for them. DeAndre and his crew, (who Terence met at school), are waiting for them inside their apartment.
After a huge brawl and an attempted escape, DeAndre and his crew were arrested and sent to jail. During the attempted escape, Healy regains his memory after stepping out onto the fire escape. After so many struggles and conflict, the boys finally catch a break because it turns out that the Deputy Chief of Police is Roxanne's uncle. After hearing the boys stayed and ran the halfway house instead of fleeing, Deputy Chief Delancy told them he would not arrest them if Gecko promised to stay away from Roxanne.
After accepting the offer and having everything back to normal, The Juvie Three are back to their routine with Healy and back on track to freedom.

My question this week is if you had a chance to get away from every problem you have and start you life again,would you take it even though you had to hide your true identity for the rest of your life?
