POSITION: Security (Ricky & Maintenance (Isaac)WE ALL HAVE A STORY...
what's yours?
"I guess you could say I've been luckier than most. It's a heartless world but having a brother's made it a lot easier to get by, you know? I wouldn't say we've been blessed, though it was nice that we didn't lose our parents until we were thirteen. It wasn't so bad. By then we already knew how fucked up the world is and that we'd always have each other's backs. That's always been our mantra. No matter what happens we look out for each other. Oh, shut the hell up. I'm buying you a drink, ain't I? Least you can do is listen to a drunk bastard tell his story.
"Anyway, life wasn't really that bad. We spent a few weeks wandering around, picking up odd jobs, catching on with caravans or other travelers, finding work where we could. We're not the sharpest knives in the drawer, my brother and I, but I know my way around a rifle and he's better than most at taking shit apart. Yeah, he's always liked messing around and finding out how things work. Says it relaxes him. I dunno. I don't see it but whatever. He's handy to have around anyway. But that's life, you know? That was us getting by. Do what we could to scrape together some cash, come into town and blow it all on booze and women. It was good times. Oh, the stories I could tell you about those days.
"It all ended when Isaac, that's my brother, in case you were wondering, met Hayden. Or, well, more specifically when he met Hayden the second time. The two of them hit it off well enough. At least well enough to spend a drunken night in a hotel before he headed out the next morning. Next time we see her she's got this stomach and she's saying Isaac knocked her up. I think it was three, four months later? Hell if I know, I can barely remember what I had for breakfast this morning let alone what happened four years ago. Anyway, so she's freaking out, Isaac freaks out, I'm freaking out. It's just a big, fucked up situation. But we've gotta go, you know? We've got work lined up on the outside for the kind of people you don't back out of jobs on, if you get my drift. So we take off for a few weeks. All the while I can tell Isaac's tripping balls. When we get back to Axios he drops a bomb on me. He's going to try and catch on with the Ceres and set up roots for this girl and their kid.
"See, what's funny about all that is Isaac gave me an out, told me I didn't have to tag along and that he'd be alright on his own but we both new damn well that wasn't going to happen. I got where he was coming from and there was never any doubt I'd be settling down as well. When my niece, Kadence, came along a few months later there was no question one of us was the dad. And since I've never touched her mom, we sort of put two and two together.
"It hasn't been an easy adjustment. Even now, four years later we get antsy and want to get away. But there's something to be said for carving out a life here, you know? There's no question Isaac adores his daughter. You can see it everytime he looks at her. I don't think he realizes it yet, but Hayden means a lot too him too. He might be the smarter one when it comes to figuring out how things work but he's dumb as a stump when it comes to people. He cares about them both and why shouldn't he? They're his family. Our family. We're just doing what we can for them.
"It's weird looking back on everything now. Where we started and where we're at now? It's like night and day. I never thought we'd end up on a farm somewhere, Isaac working maintenance, me in security, with both of us married. Yeah. Couple years ago I met a girl too and, holy shit things moved fast. Her name's Grayson. She's wonderful. Not at all the kind of girl you'd think would end up with an asshole like me. But, yeah, that's where we are. The five of us just doing what we can for each other. It started out with just two names on the list. Ricky and Isaac. Now we've added three more and I don't think either of us could be happier.
"What's that? Yeah, you're right. There is a reason I've been sitting here telling my life story to a stranger. I was just killing time. You know that girl you were talking to earlier? The cute blonde who wasn't interested that you called a bitch for turning you down? That's my sister-in-law. And that, right there; the pissed off looking guy that looks just like me? Yeah, that's my brother and he really wants you to meet that lead pipe he's carrying."BEHIND THE MASK...
