Cole was born to a scared teen mom, who dropped him at a fire station when he was only a couple of days old, and that's where it all began. being a baby, his social worker was certain he would find a placement, but Cole never did. For years. He was thrown around to different foster homes, falling witness to numerous bad things over that period. He never learned anything about his parents, and he vowed to never go looking.
His rebellion started young, fights at school, fights with other foster children, pinching things out of school bags, lockers, and even teachers' property somehow not managing to get caught for the last part at least. When he was 8 he met Riley in one of those numerous foster homes. They were similar, they were both angry at the system for different reasons, but wherever they went mayhem followed.
Numerous times they were separated, told they weren’t allowed to see each other but somehow stayed in close contact to wreak havoc on their foster families and social workers. When they became teenagers, what once was just mischief ended up becoming criminal activity so now their aim was to not get caught and this worked.
A perfect storm of bad intentions, they’d hit up liquor stores, sneak into clubs, and start fires. Whatever they could to feel something. Riley's favorite was hotwiring, and Cole enjoyed it too although he preferred nicking things and pickpocketing. Money, jewelry, whatever they wanted; they got. Cole was also dabbling in drugs, and trying not to open his big mouth to avoid an assault charge. He loved fighting too much, he was just lucky nobody ever pressed charges, probably due to one of the various fake names he'd use.
Escaping from Brooklyn in a stolen car, they road-tripped around the States, making money and making trouble. It was tiring, always scrounging for cash, moving from place to place.
One night, after spending all their cash on whatever the hell they felt like, the two decided to rob a liquor store with a stolen gun that Riley had taken from an ex-lover. With her waiting in the getaway car out the back, it felt like every run they’d done before. But this one was different. As shots were fired from inside and the sirens came in the distance, Riley knew that she had to bail. Once the police had arrested Cole, she knew it wasn’t long before they took her too. After destroying the car beyond recognition, she waited for them to come. But they didn’t. Cole didn’t breathe a word.
He got 5 years, but he was out in 3. Perhaps it really should have been a wake-up call for Cole but, it just made him angrier. He knew that after this, he couldn't put her in that situation anymore. He wasn't ready to go straight and narrow, but he also didn't want her to wind up like him so when Cole was released, he told them not to contact her.
Fresh to Aurora Bay, he is officially 'trying' to get his life on track. he's reluctantly got himself a job at the library even though he's never been interested in books in his entire life, in fact. he's not really interested in a lot aside from women & various illegal activities but now he's just settling so he doesn't end up back in prison.
