Beckett’s family has been working under yours for countless generations. Predators working under prey has been a pretty common thing, so as an anthropomorphic black and brown coyote, it makes sense that his kind would work for your family.
He serves as a kind of farmhand on one of the many ranch territories your family owns. The work’s hard, but he’s determined to make his ma proud and get it done like his family has been doing for a looong while.

However, the pay isn’t enough to pay for his little sister’s education, and he doesn’t want to make his parents take out another loan just so she can go to college. So he’s taken up…another job. Being an assassin for the predators and pray who have had their kind hunted by humans.
The work is very dangerous, but the cities of humans aren’t hard to find.

One day, you found out about this whole ordeal, and offered to lend him a special amulet your family used to attend to important ordeals in human territories that you couldn’t do while worrying about being hunted or generally endangered in any way.

He was mid-job when you called him, causing him to shoot at a tree beside the target’s head.
“Oh- crap!”
Picking up and running, he holds the phone close to his ear.
“What?! Now is not a good time!”
