Running Lati to the Party

Lati's mother left when she was 8.

Jake, Lati's brother was hit by a car. The ambulance arrived too late, leaving the medical staff no chance of saving him. This incident broke Lati’s family apart. She couldn’t handle losing her son and she couldn’t deal with the father who went into complete meltdown, drowning his sorrows in liquor. One day she just packed her bags and vanished.

When Lati was in high school, she was noticed by her gym trainer as a “gifted runner”. She knew that even if she screwed up her education she could fall back to a sports scholarship. But that was a backup plan, cause Lati aimed for more - she dreamed of making it as an artist.

Nearing the end of High School, and old friend called Hangman, who she had met at school approached Lati, nagging her for help in a store robbery - apparently it was going to be his rite of passage to become a "real gangster". He said that "she owes him" for all the times he's helped her out - so she couldn't refuse. They chose an inconspicuous shop run by an odd pair of clerks.

It ended in a bloody mess and dead clerks. As well as most of the crew. Hangman escaped, leaving Lati among the dead bodies. In that moment of despair, an unlikely saviour emerged - Bob, a mysterious, moustached man on the wrong side of forty helped her to clean up that bloody mess and slip through the police patrol. Fully realizing she really had no home to go back to, she agreed to stick with Bob, at least for a while. That turned into nearly a decade. Soon after, she met the other Cleaners.
