Backstory: Gavin grew up in a small household with only his parents and younger sister— who he always protected. His parents didn't have a lot of money, so Gavin resorted to breaking the law to support his family. He's been in and out of jail since he was fifteen, but he never stays for long. He fell in with some bad people, dealing drugs to get money. However, he never took any of the substances, causing the group of dealers to beat him and kick him out. Gavin was kicked out by his parents once they learned what he'd been doing— and he was left with nowhere to go, until he was discovered by a police officer. The officer took him in and let him intern at a police station, where Gavin eventually became a cop.
