A/N Inspired by all the kids running around on their holidays, a look at how different characters spent their summers. This first chapter is Vin Tanner in the ATF universe
Vin Tanner (ATF universe):
Aged 5- Vin hid under the desk in his Mama's room listening to her cough, his knees drawn up under his chin he would wait until she called for him and then he would come running to her and they would go to the park or to get an ice-cream. She would call for him if he just waited.
Aged 10 - Vin spent the summer holidays in the woods or at the reservation, quick to offer to help and even quicker to disappear before he became unwanted. Vin spent the summer anywhere his foster father was not.
Aged 14 - Vin learnt to shoot his newest foster father's rifle under the heat of the Texas summer sun and the wary eyes of his guardian who would offer a half smile of pride every time he hit his targets. Vin hit a lot of targets.
Aged 17- Vin spent his summer on the streets of Denver living day to day searching out food and shelter.
Aged 20- Vin spent this summer under fire and returning fire, watching men on both sides of a bloody conflict die under the unmerciful pounding of bullets.
Aged 25- Vin joined the ATF in August by September he had not 1 but 6 new brothers and they had one of the most impressive arrest rate in the history of the organisation.
Aged 27 - Vin spent his summer on holiday hiking in the mountains with Chris.
