Thread: RP: TEARS: THE PURGE [ Horror_Show &  randomname98766789]

Leo Barnes just finished securing the large mansion of a young, famous actor. Leo knew the young mans parents from high school. They stayed in contact afterwards so they knew about his time as a police officer, his specialty in security, and his time working as a bodyguard. At first glance, Leo did not look like too much of a threat. An aging man in his late forties did not sound threatening. Plus, he was not overtly muscular but he could still kick some ass and throw it down with the best of them. Basically, Leo Barnes was not a man you wanted to fuck with. His skill and level of expertise made him a perfect fit for this job. Not only could he perform these duties but he was smart enough prepare ahead of time as well. Every window, door, and possible opening contained an impenetrable security gate that would roll down at the press of a button. It would withstand all weapons legalized for use during The Purge. Motion sensor detectors and traps were all armed around the house, waiting to be detonated with another button. A newly built in safe room with all of the familys guns, ammo, and essentials with walls and doors made of the same material as those gates. In essence, this mansion would be a safe haven for the night of The Purge. A huge sum of money was going to be deposited into Leo Barnes bank account after the last part of the contract was signed. The homeowners looked over his protective measures and were blown away. He left a descriptive outline of everything they can use and do. They already felt safe and were so thankful for his services. However, they wanted to sweeten the deal. They offered him the chance to come stay with them in person. One, it would provide them even more protection but two Leo could also keep himself safe as well. Obviously his house was fortified but he did not have that kind of budget when working on his own home so the defenses were not nearly as sophisticated. What really got him to budge was hearing about his daughter. She could stay too and that place would be safe for the both of them. At the time, Leo only though it was going to be the actor, his girlfriend, and his parents. Just four people just like he warned the celebrity. Even people you think you might know and trust can turn on you in an instant. Leo knew that better than anyone but not to the extent what could happen on the Purge. After being assured only those four people and himself and his daughter would be allowed, Leo decided that was the best option. Plus, they were getting so much more money, Leo loved helping people, and they should theoretically be safe no matter what. He wanted to provide for Lena in the best way possible. After this night, she could go to college wherever she wanted after her time at the local community college was done. She would never have to worry about money and they could finally afford some of those non-necessities that they want. It was a nice thought considering Leos life had been particularly rough up to this point. His father left the picture when he was only two and his mother passed away from cancer when he was eight. Growing up in a handful of different foster homes, he never learned true love until he met Lenas mother. They were young but ended up marrying in their early twenties. Everything was going well and they had a child together named Lena and she was the bright spot of Leos world. He did everything in his power to make her happy and keep her safe. As time went on, his marriage with her mother perished for some unknown reason. When Lena was about eleven, her parents divorced. Leo caught her mother cheating on him in their own house while Lena was asleep but he never told Lena that it happened in their own home. Leo did the right thing to try and forgive her but it happened again. Finally, the divorce happened and it was rather nasty. His ex-wife continued finding different men to sleep with until settling down with some doctor and getting married again. Honestly, Leo did not care for her anymore. She was scum in his eyes but the only reason he tried to keep anything good between them was for Lena. He never, ever talked ill of her mother in front of Lena even though he wanted to. He took the higher road here and it was just so painful. He never really dated again for found someone else, choosing to get lost in his job and taking care of Lena and ignore the pain. Then on Purge night two years ago, his ex-wife and her new husband were murdered. It did impact him because of how it hurt Lena. Sure, he was sad but seeing how destroyed Lena was really killed him. He knew Lena always hoped they would get back together at some point but it just never happened. Leo even wondered about that, too but he felt powerless. He told his ex-wife to not try and travel in case something like this happened but she just did not listen. Even worse, he still does not have the slightest clue who murdered these two people though he has been trying to find out ever since that fateful night. Tomorrow would be purge night in almost twenty-four hours as Leo finally arrived to their average, two-story home. He thought about the money he was set to make and how big their house could eventually be. Once inside, he shut the door and locked it, wondering where Lena was, wanting to tell her the news. He started to call out her name but heard loud, blaring music so it was pointless. Sighing, he trudged up the stairs and knocked on her bedroom door. Lena? I need to talk to you.
