Even after a video call with his kid distracted him from the devasting shit going on around town, it was only a momentary relief. So, like most nights, Boone turned to his one true love; booze. And like any other toxic relationship, it left him feeling pretty broken up the following morning. A hangover's best cure, however, was even more alcohol, which was the reason why he stepped into the gas station. Tired eyes scanned over the premises behind red tinted glasses, taking note of the single customer inside, before landing on Aisha just as she delivered whatever special they had going on. Her focus was on the book she was reading, so she hadn't noticed it was him, which had an amused smirk tugging up the corner of his mouth.

Boots lightly scuffed along the floor as he sauntered toward the opposite end of the station, making a beeline to the coolers lining the wall. He settled on his favorite mid-morning snack; two beer in each hand, the neck of each bottle fastened snug between his fingers as he turned on his heel and approached the cash register. Three were set on the countertop, while he cracked open the fourth with a quick twist of his wrist, the cap tossed into the garbage bin behind the register.

"If I buy four, will you read me a story?"

It had been a long night of nothing for the brunette, but still she couldn't bring herself to sleep. The deaths in Hidehill hanging over every resident, it brought a chill to her spine to be alone in her trailer. Which is why this morning at work she was sat on top of the back counter behind the cash register, hair in a messy bun and book in her hand. She barely even noticed the bell above the door ring as someone entered inside the gas station until she caught a glimpse of someone out the corner of her eye. Not bothering to look up from the book in her hands, she waved over towards the drink selections. "Drinks are three for the price of two." She mumbled loud enough for the other person to hear, not caring much about what they were really there for.

Half eaten burger in hand, his chewing paused momentarily. How did the culprit set up not one, not two, but three displays of unspeakable horrors? Boone had been so exhausted from trying to focus on anything other than the gnawing ache in his gut, it hadn't crossed his mind how there were so many people around, yet not a single one witnessed a damn thing.

"Dunno. Must be one cocky son of a gun to be doin' all that, not giving a fuck about getting caught," he finally spoke up after taking a sip of his milkshake, washing down the bite of burger in the process. It was then blue hues shifted to the other, eyebrows furrowed in thought, "or maybe they knew they weren't gonna get caught."

"How do three wind up in the hotel rooms and nobody notices? Like, not one single person saw the fucker taking bodies into rooms and setting them up into freaky fuckin' scenes to be found?" Dilara was struggling to wrap her head around the whole situation. The only one of the three she really knew was Carmen, her neighbour who she got along with and often borrowed each others things. She just didn't understand how the shadow had time to set up the bodies like they did.

without having a hope in hell from the get go, boone was a raised in a household that always had some form of drugs or alcohol ( usually both ) at his parents' disposal at any given time. so he was exposed to these addictions at a very early age and would eventually follow the same path, but to a lesser degree.

as the apple of his parents' eye, for some reason, he could do no wrong. when, in fact, he did very wrong, at any given moment. boone was a labelled a problem child by his teachers. it started off with him being an annoying punk kid, disrupting class and clowning around with his friends. but as he got older, the problem grew with him.

fist fights were a common occurrence whenever he was in attendance at school. so if he didn't skip, he was sent home regularly. however, he never let his parents know the difference ( if they'd even notice anyway ) and he'd stay out on the streets all day -- drinking, smoking, wreaking havoc on the small town -- until school was let out and it'd be time for him to go home. as a result, he was held back a couple times in different grades.

eventually, boone would flip a final fuck you to the system and drop out of high school. who needs big brains?? certainly NOT him. instead of pursing a fruitful career like every other kid on the block, he acquired the necessary license to become a long haul driver because 1) he wanted to travel and 2) what else was he gonna do.

rootin great rapport via walkie talkie channels with all his trucker buds, tootin his loud ass horn down the highway at every little car that tried to cut him off, boone was content with this way of life. until he met some girl at some bar, somewhere along the way home. then he was apparently in love.

when word spread of this, he inherited ( rly was given ) a whole ass house in horwick from a relative. rumor has it some shady business was going on in there and so having boone and his aforementioned gf live there was all a cover up to keep the cops from sniffing around. but whatever the reason, he didn't care. he got a free home, away from his parents.

while boone wasn't exactly your all american, golden boy or best big brother, he felt guilty ditching his younger siblings, and made a point to keep his door open for them if they ever needed a place to crash. he wasn't the affectionate type by any means, but he tried to be a better influence than their parents ever were.

without ever having any real big bills to pay, thanks to the house, boone did well to save up a huge chunk of his earnings. so when his girlfriend ended up having a baby, he quit his long haul job and bought the gas station in hidehill. everybody needs gas, so he thought it was a great investment. big brains.

having owned fast gas for nearly a decade, he's been through all kinds of ups and downs. his girlfriend left him for an accountant and moved across the country with their kid, he lowkey became an alcoholic by trying to drink his sorrows away, and the gas station got robbed one night, which resulted in him almost getting shot for trying to fight off the assailant. safe to say now, he keeps a shotgun tucked away for future intimidation ( which he may or may not legally own ).

he's lowkey insane. like homeboy has no qualms when it comes to protecting his territory and his people, and is no stranger to violence.

however crazy he may get, he has a soft spot for his family & employees. to make up for being so shitty when he was younger, boone does his best now to help out where he can and looks out for his own.

drives an old ford bronco, but also owns a loud af dirtbike that he rips around on at night to 'clear his head'.

checks in on his parents every so often bc as much as they tainted his childhood, they also showed him some sort of love in their own fucked up way.

still drinks almost every night, so he's always at a bar or lounge. would probably sing karaoke if he was drunk enough.

does a video call with his kid every day ( or every other day ) and faithfully pays out child support. while he misses his son, boone knows he's better off growing up away from hidehill.
