[ birth, death, life, growth and youth ] "so tell me some information about yourself please? birthday, full name and occupation will be enough" "okay then, the name is elliot grayson casey, though i must admit i do prefer to be called eli. i was born on the sixteenth of november about 10 minutes before my twin brother elijah. funny story, oficially he was born the day after me. i was born at five to midnight on the 16th and he was born at five past twelve on the 17th, it happens more than you think. to make it easier on my parents, and to make sure that there wasn't any sibling rivalry for our birthdays our parties were always held on the 15th. that way it wasn't either day. thinking back we probably wouldn't have cared to long as we got the presents and cake, but who knows. i work as a fireman along side my brother. my mother hates the fact that we picked a dangerous career but my father was all for it and that was the only encouragement we needed. plus my mother has six other children to worry about besides us." "have you always lived in this part of town? if not where did you live before and why did you move here?" "next time give me a second to answer the first question before bombarding me with a second. i could have saved you the trouble of asking it. i was born here, i've lived here for the past twenty three years and i will probably live here for the next sixty. i can't think of a better place to raise my child and the thought of leaving my family isn't something i like the feeling of so i'll be staying around. if you stay, get used to seeing me." "tell me a bit about how you grew up, i noticed that you have a lot of thick file of hospital records, why?" "because i was a child. simple as that. my parents let my siblings run around and do things that would hurt us to teach us not to do them again. that's the sort of childhood i had. my mother kissed every scraped knee till the age of eight and she and my father doctored us through illness, though my father did it with a little more humor than my mother, she liked to worry a lot. but as for the hospital records, i don't know why you thought they were important for this interview, but i broke bones a lot. i fell out of a tree when i was six and broke my leg, i broke my arm playing football, dislocated my shoulder in a scrimmage hockey game at my high school and if you had more time i'd sit here and list every other injury i've had since you think it's so important. did you get a look at my grades too? they might be important" "as a matter of fact i did, would you care to tell me about your school years?" "what can i say. it was school, you either love it or you hate it and i'm afraid i was the latter. that's not to say i didn't try but i knew what i wanted to be from the day i turned eight and saw a fire being put out and a woman being brought from a burning building. now i don't know about you, but something told me i wouldn't need advanced chemistry or some world class math skills to be a fireman. common sense and a general understanding or education would be enough so clearly i was right. i tried my hardest, my parents knew that so they didn't push. i did however do very well in sports. i played football though my last three years of high school and i dabbled in hockey for a while. if there was any kind of sport game on during lunch or in my neighbour hood i was usually playing in it. which explains all those hospital records you thought meant something horrible." "i didn't assume they meant something horrible, but a child's future is at stake here. you have to convince me the child is better off with you and your family. hospital records sometimes put up a red flag. yours did" "clearly, take a look at my ex wifes records. they'll be about the same." "we're not here to talk about your ex wife. we're here to talk about you" [ mother, father, brothers, sister and cousin ] "now you mentioned your mother, father and six siblings. tell me about them?" "okay that i can tell you about. my father is a doctor. he works on treating people with spine injuries and nerve damage. he's worked at the hospital here since he finished medical school and i don't think he plans on leaving any time soon. my mother was an interior designer, i know she did want to be a lawyer but her father convinced her that the court room was no place for a woman and that because she had his money and my father she didn't need a big career. which is one of the reasons why i think my father made her let my brother and i chose the career we did, she didn't really like her job and he didn't want that for us. though it's been about eighteen years since she last worked because after elijah and i were born six more kids followed us, and my youngest brothers are only 14 so she's a stay at home mother, though i don't think she minds that all too much, i know it bothers my dad when he's away from home a lot. do you need to know their history too? or would that be taking things a little too far. none of them have ever been arrested. that i know of" "no that's fine. your file mentions a cousin who lived with you?" "yeah my cousin lived with us. his parents were killed in a car accident when he was five and my uncle and aunty put it into their will that he was to live with my father if something happened to them, and he did. he doesn't feel like a cousin any more, we call him our brother and he's probably going to be a huge part of my child's life, he's in medical school which has made my father really proud and he doesn't have a criminal record so that shouldn't be an issue" [ house, career, romance, travels and animals ] "so you currently reside in your own residence? is it paid off?" "yes it is. it was a wedding present from my father. before you say anything it's in my name and it can't be taken away from me. my father hoped that me and my ex would fill it up with children. it will be where me and my son live if i get custody of him. which is more than my ex wife has. she's renting a small apartment in new york that there isn't enough room to swing a cat in" "i'm not concerned about your ex wife's residence, mr casey" "well you should be shouldn't you? your going to plead my case to the judge to try and show him that ranger is far better off with me and my family rather than being dragged around the city to auditions that my ex thinks she'll get. i have a solid job a permanent house and the support of my family behind me. she's got five dollars to her name, a family that doesn't want a thing to do with her because she married me and she doesn't have a job she can rely on. these are things you should be concerned about!" calm down and lets get these questions finished? "you're lucky i'm not allowed to hit you." "small blessings. now tell me how your ex wife was the last few years of your marriage" "it wasn't bad. it only got bad when she realised that having a child would hinder her career and that's the most important thing. okay! don't look at me like that. fine. we weren't married all that long but it was good. we were planning children and our careers and just making plans for the future that i thought she wanted to be a part of. we made sure to go travelling while we were young so we wouldn't get the itch to go travelling when we had a family. we went to europe and australia and we lived in south africa for six months. this was three years ago and then she fell pregnant so we came home. things were okay for a few months after ranger was born but she started getting frustrated. i was working at the fire house by then and the long hours with him were driving her insane but she wouldn't ask for help or let people know. she'd just take it out on me when i got home. she wanted to get back into trying to find acting work which, maybe in hindsight i didn't take as well as i should have but we had a baby and he needed at least one parent there. we got into a few fights over it, she couldn't handle fighting and the baby so she decided to divorce me. though i think it was more of an empty threat because she looked shocked when i agreed. it was the only thing to do though. she packed her bags and left, she didn't take him with her. that's something you could tell the judge too, she left him with me when she left. she's been gone for a year and now she's back wanting him again. that's not what a loving mother does. "i'll note it. you work long hours mr casey, how are you going to look after a child?" "i'll make it work. i have the support of my family behind me, my mother has told me she'll help, my brother and i work alternate shifts and he lives with me so he'll be around when i'm not there. it might not be ideal but i can give him the family and the security that a child needs. "you might not come home one night. that's not a very secure job" "and my ex could get hit by a bus, that's not a very secure way to travel." "now that's a horrible things to say" "it's the truth isn't it, whose side are you on anyway?" "your son's. we're done here for today. be available throughout next week for the meeting with the judge" [ love, hate, wonder, secrets and information ] likes: - sleeping in. - hot chocolate. - watching cartoon movies. - the disney channel. - watching his son learn new things. - spending time with his family. - any kind of food. - playing sports, mostly football. - sailing. - going for long runs. - his job. - the fact he works with his brother. - watching his son sleep. - sleeping with ten pillows on his bed. - wearing only his underwear around his house. dislikes: - the fact his son is growing up. - his ex wife and her trying to take his son. - the colour yellow. - sheets that aren't clean. - sleeping anywhere but his own bed. - fish. - talking too deeply about emotion. - the worry he feels for his son. - smoking. - he doesn't like drinking all that much. - pillows that aren't soft. - slippers. - when anyone in his family is sick or hurt. - sad movies. - sand between his toes. secrets: - he hates clowns. - he and his brother eliah once switched places in exams, eli is better at english and lijah is better at math. - he used to like changing the clocks in the house to make people loose time. pets: - he has two dogs varlo and gypsy - he has a kitten too, though he doesn't really know why. lynx his brother owns him. personality: - he is protective of those he loves. - he doesn't like talking about his emotions. - he cares for most of the people he meets. - can be cynical at times. - he can be lazy when he feels like it. - he doesn't tend to think hard, he leaps before he looks. - he doesn't believe in things he can't see. - he's empathetic and will offer his ear to someone who wants to talk. - he doesn't trust people very well, it takes a little while to earn his trust. - he's fickle. his family may have money but he likes to live off what he earns. - he can be a little forgetful about trivial things such as taking out the garbage. - he's got a temper but can keep it under control pretty well. - he doesn't like to complain, he puts his head down and gets on with a job. - when you get to know him he's a sweetheart. - he doesn't like offending people but he will when he tells them the truth. - can be blunt. he doesn't see the point in dancing around something someone needs to know. - reckless. he runs into burning buildings for a living after all. - proud of the family he comes from and he carries his name with pride. - fatherly. he loves his son with all his heart and would do anything for him. - sarcastic. he's got a sharp tongue a lot of the time. mother's name: - lorella casey nee parkerson. - 46. father's name: - harrison casey. - 47. sibling's names: - elijah casey. - 24. - tanner casey. - 22. - archer casey. - 21. - lucas casey - 19.
