{ The Past-- September 2004, Quantico, Virginia, United States }
In early 2000s, Keith Hutchins was discharged from the military. He was looking to jump to another government agency, such as the FBI.
Around the same time, Robert Smith was working at the FBI headquarter. But, Robert wanted to retire. After dealing with many disappointments with the world, he was mentally spent at that point. But he can't come up with a convincing reason for his request, because everyone saw him as a 23 years old young man in great shape. He could voluntarily quit, but then he would lose his retirement fund and insurance. Ideally, he wanted to have a decent retirement, too.
