He was far from a war hero, even though he finished his service with seemingly no errors. Westley knew what he’d done and he knew it was struggling to catch up with him, but like with most things in his life, Westley didn’t care and showed no remorse. The people he fucked over and the lives he took were all just “Occupational hazards” and “ Casualties” that came with life. Everyone stepped on people to get tot he top, he was no different, and he enjoyed the spoiled that lacking morals afforded him.
Tonight said spoil was ring side seats to a boxing match, to which the precursor was a steak dinner and pricey brandy and the after party? More drinks. He was a fan of dives in spite of the lack of luxury, the poor Louisiana boy in him finding comfort in the plain every now and again, so when he spotted a neon sigh he made a sharp right through the door and a beeline for the bar. Digging his wallet out of his picket, Westley slapped a hundred on the bar. “ Heineken. Open a tab.” He ordered before leaning on the bar, glancing around and a stool or two away, spotting a face he couldn’t forget. It wasn’t like seeing an old friend, as what West did to Lachlan was just plain shitty, but the asshole in Westley wanted to say hello anyway. Still, he’d changed -- his new job had him dressing better and he’d grown and shaved hair in different places among his head and face. Would Lachlan even recognize him?
