Imagine you're in middle school...
Imagine you're in middle school, sitting in detention when another student whispers to you, "I have a plan. Follow my lead." Through cunning, he leads you out of the room and out of the building, dodging teachers and hall-monitors, but shortly after you get outside, you find you're not the only one who skipped; the school bully sees you. As he begins chasing you, your friend promises again to lead you to safety, so you follow for several blocks -- but just when you both have almost lost him, you find you've been lead into a fenced cul-de-sac. Some friend! Some leader!
