[b]Background:[/b]

Growing up, Kelly had what many could think to be the perfect childhood. The classic picture of an upper-middle-class family. Summers were spent vacationing in countries far away, and holidays were had with the whole of the family in a large cabin nestled deep in the woods. He and his brother attended only the best private schools where they and their mutual friends would get into all kinds of mischief, all of which was simple fun in the end, and on weekends, Kelly and his mother would spend their time tending to the little vegetable garden in the backyard while listening to audiobooks and various podcasts as they came about. It was a storybook life for Kelly, but every story has its conflict...
When Kelly was fifteen, his mother was the victim of a deadly, and truly horrible, crime. The offender was never caught.
Things changed after that. Kelly's father, a doctor, buried himself in his work, taking on extra shifts and rarely ever being home, let alone having time for their yearly trips abroad. His brother, going into college, became obsessed with criminal law, and immersed himself in his studies, vowing to one day make right what had happened to their mother, in one way or another. Even his friends, once always by his side, seemed to suddenly disappear into their own lives, just when he needed them most. At the end of it all, Kelly was alone...
It wasn't until a few years later, after a major collision off the side of a highway late one stormy night, that the depression was finally noticed, as it was quickly found that the crash wasn't so much of an accident as one would hope. After some time in the hospital, Kelly eventually made his way back to school, and in honor of his mother and their shared passion, he set his focus on agriculture. Through his studies, Kelly was able to begin healing, as he found new meaning in life, and somewhere along the way, he decided to set his focus on using his education to assist others.
He worked hard through his classes, though, unlike his brother, Kelly managed to still make time for social activities, and it wasn't long after receiving his bachelor's that he met the man he would one day wed. A storybook meet-cute, as fitting to Kelly's life as it could ever have been, and the proposal a few years later was as magical as any fairytale. It was a dream come true, and Kelly refused to be woken up. So long as he kept his head down, did as he was asked, and covered up the bruises, there was nothing to worry about! ...Right...?
It was an argument over his plans following the receiving of his master's that finally brought Kelly back to reality. Set on helping others, Kelly wanted to enlist to aid in assisting far-off countries, but Viktor did not approve. In fact, the man that Kelly had loved forbade it. The words Viktor spoke that night burned into Kelly, and he had finally had enough of the man's controlling ways. There was no screaming match. No hands were thrown. Kelly simply got up, packed a bag, and left. When Viktor grabbed him to stop him, Kelly gave only an ultimatum and nothing more, "Touch me again, and I'll call my brother before I even think of calling the police."
It wasn't long after the divorce was settled that Kelly settled himself into his seat aboard the C-130, and he prepared himself for what would turn out to be the ride of his life.
