Beau's Backstory

"Shoot him."

He hesitated, the gun trembling in his small hands.
Tears were threatening to roll down the boy's face.
His eyes met with the man's.

A fear of dying.
Like an animal that was being hunted down, and it's predator was closing in.

"I'm so sorry!" Beau cried out, tears now falling to the floor, and he pulled the trigger.
He looked away, and felt a thick liquid splatter on his face.

"No!"
A door behind Beau opened and a beam of light lit up the room.

A woman came running in, and quickly pulled Beau into a hug.
"What did you do?!" she yelled; it wasn't directed at Beau, but at the man sitting in a corner of the room.

"It's good he learns to just get rid of empathy as soon as possible," the man replied, standing up from his chair.

"No! This is the final straw! I'm packing up our stuff, and I'm leaving! With Beau!"

Beau was still crying, hugging his mother tightly.
"Let's go, okay Beau? Mom knows a place where we can stay together!"
She smiled at her son, but glared at her husband.

". . . I don't think so."
Another gunshot.

Beau's eyes met her eyes.
But they were already dead.

His mother fell to the ground, a gap in her head and a puddle of blood quickly formed on the ground.

". . . N-no. . . Mom. . . mommy. . .? Mommy! No!"

"You shut the fuck up or I'll stick this gun down your throat," he hissed at the crying woman.
Peeking out of the window, Beau made sure to check if they were being followed or not.
They weren't.

The van was filled with people, from beyond borders, all wanting to leave their home country and live in Europe.
Men, women, children.
Human trafficking.
Just a side job.

"Breaking news. A young man has just been arrested, he's the suspected son of leader of the mafia that has been terrorizing England for the past years. We haven't yet gotten any updates from a spokesperson of the FBI concerning his real identity. What we do know for sure, is that if this is in fact who we think he is, he's guilt for over 30 murders at least. He's also active in human trafficking and is suspected to also be in the drugs business. This, people, is equal to winning a lottery to the police and FBI. This is the first step to one day catching the whole gang."
