Blackjack had been put in there when he was twenty years old, he met RJ almost immediately while walking on one of the beaches. When Blackjack came across him he was covered in blood and dirt and was sitting on the sand looking out into the water with tears in his eyes. When Blackjack first approached the boy he got sand thrown in his face and RJ took off running. Blackjack ran after the boy and followed him all the way to an old abandoned house that was hidden behind trees and piles of garbage. When Blackjack entered the house he was ambushed by RJ, the boy jumped onto his back and began to choke him. Blackjack grabbed the back of the boy's head and flipped him over his body then knelt to restrain him. GET OFF ME! ,RJ yelled. WHAT DO YOU WANT? Calm down kid I'm not gonna hurt ya ,Blackjack stated as calmly as he could. I may be a prisoner but I'm not a bad guy ok relax. After a few minutes of struggle and a lot of convincing RJ had calmed down and sat still, the boy looked up at the man who had followed him into his house. Who are you and how'd you get in here? RJ asked in a quiet tone. I'm Jack Ryan and I'm here because I liked to play cards for money and drive cars really fast ,Blackjack said in response. So you liked to gamble huh? What was your favorite card game? RJ asked curiously. Blackjack, it's easy to play and made me a lot of money ,Blackjack told him. So your name's Jack and your favorite card game is Blackjack ,RJ smiled and laughed a little. I know....I'm gonna call you Blackjack from now on I think it fits and since you've found my hideout I can't let you out of my sight, you might tell the crazies where I am and they'll take me away. Blackjack laughed at the boy's comment about his name, That's fine with me kid ,he told him. When the boy mentioned the crazies Blackjack gave him a look, Crazies huh? What do they want with you you're just a kid? By the way why are you here? I was born here, my mother was put here while she was pregnant with me she told me it was because the police thought she was protecting my father who was wanted at the time so they put her in here ,RJ sighed. But she's dead now and I'm all alone the crazies killed her....they did it right in front of me, I ran to the beach to hide in the lifeguard tower until they left me alone. I'm sorry to hear that kid, listen I'll stay with ya if you want me too, I don't have anywhere to go and this place seems pretty safe for the most part and you could probably use the help ,Blackjack offered. From that day on Blackjack never left the boy's side, they hunted together looked for necessities and other things they could use. When RJ grew up enough the two left the safety of the house more often, Blackjack taught him how to fight and shoot a gun, even how to fight with a knife in his hand. They stuck together through everything for ten years and now there they sat in the same house they introduced themselves to each other in, the boy now a young man and the man ten years older. Blackjack knew of RJ's history and who his father was but he never looked at the man any different like most people probably would, RJ was the only family Blackjack had and he would die for the man and he knew RJ felt the same. I win again ,Blackjack stated with a grin. Well that's no surprise, we've been playing this game for ten years and I still haven't beaten you once ,RJ replied throwing his cards to the table. Blackjack lit a cigarette and stood up, it wasn't a real cigarette it was made of tobacco and rolling papers but it was something considering he had come in there with only a pack. The man learned to grow his own tobacco and make his own cigarettes over the years. Blackjack grabbed his belt and put it on, he checked his pistol to see if it was loaded before putting it back into his holster. He then picked up his shotgun and put it over his shoulder. Where are you going? RJ asked looking at the man confused. I'm going to go fishing I'm hungry and we're out of food and it's too dark to get any fruit from the trees outside so I'm going fishing ,Blackjack told him in response. Alright whatever you say man just be careful and make sure no one follows you back ,RJ told him before leaning back in his chair. Blackjack grabbed his net on the way out of the house, his shotgun pointed out in front of him as he walked. Exit to North Bay Village
