Working for Moreau was never the best job but it was all he had for the moment. All of his other "clients" were quiet for the moment; this was the only way to earn money right now for him. He was not saying he liked the job, in fact most of the time he absolutely hated it. Even for a person in Eliot's line of work Damien Moreau was a cruel man. But he did it for the sake of making a few bucks.
A few months and Eliot found himself still working for Moreau. This was the longest he had ever stayed with one job. He was often send to kill the enemies of Moreau which wasn't exactly fun but he still did it, at least he could easy his conscience because often the people he had killed had killed innocent people, therefore what he did was good in a way. Eventually Eliot got tired of working for Moreau, it was gradual but Moreau started to pay him less and soon the only reason Eliot was staying with Moreau was because he was forced. He had gone to Moreau a few weeks ago saying he wanted out, but Moreau hadn't let him and had eventually threatened to go kill his father, who knew nothing of Eliot's job or line of work. Therefor Eliot stayed. Even though he had fought with his dad he still loved him. After all it was never his father's fault his mom had died. He still loved his father; after all he was the only family Eliot had left. He knew that he would never have been able to live with himself if he had been the cause of his father's own death, so he stayed. Until Moreau gave him a job he would not do.
The job was to kill a CEO and his family because he had found out that Moreau was laundering money through his company and was going to expose Moreau unless he was given a huge amount of money. This job wasn't the normal job. He had to not only kill the CEO, but also kill his 16 year old daughter in case she had heard anything from her father. Eliot could never have killed an innocent teenager just because she might have heard something from her father. But then Moreau offered him something he couldn't refuse. An out, he could leave and none of Moreau's men would pursue him or his father. The offer was too good to refuse so here he was in his black pickup driving down the dusty old road of Jackson, California. He was to go to California and kill the father-daughter pair before the 3rd of June giving him 3 weeks to do the job as it had to look like an accident and in order to do that he was going to have to get the pair to trust him. He thought of what he was going to do when he got to Kansas. He had already figured out what his name was going to be, James Smith, not very original but it would work for now. He had his back story prepared and his ID in his new wallet. He thought about what he was about to do as he passed the sign reading "Welcome to Jackson."
