With this pic I’m definitely thinking a VIP of sorts but I can’t decide if these guys are bodyguards to keep the VIP safe or security escorting a HVT and there to keep them from being freed.
Either option is a good one. I’m also trying to decide if these two guys know each other well like partners or just got hired for the same job.
One option I could use is these guys used to work together, they’re both former SWAT team members and went into the private sector together. They made a name for themselves really quick.
Maybe they fought off an attack by The Death Jesters on a target. It’s not impossible but it’s rare. Plus, maybe it was a complete fluke on their part. Right time right place sorta thing. This caused their star to shine bright and they got big gigs quickly.
Something they weren’t prepared for.
Thus, in this picture they’re bringing their client to a big meeting when they get hit in broad daylight. The driver gets killed and these two get their asses kicked and bones broken. Their client is killed afterwards.
So now the opposite happens, they’re fired by their security firm and stuck in the hospital with bills to pay and no work. Maybe the only work they can get once they’ve recovered is watching over a rich Daddy’s Boy (The tool from last week) #ThanksWade (Here to help)
Next we’ll have to dig into their background more so we can get to know them better. Maybe one has an ex-wife that he sends money to every month because he feels guilty about whatever happened between them. Maybe the other has a gambling problem which is what got him into the private sector to begin with. Both are skilled and work well together but they’re not great.
At least not yet. ?
