One evening, he came home to find that Erin had company. Seated at the kitchen table was his sister, laughing quietly and speaking with Tarko Farn, one of his contacts at the chop shop. Keenan knew Tarko to be a drug pusher and to have a history of physically abusing women, so the fear he felt when he saw the way that Tarko was looking at his sister was logical. What he couldn't accept was the way that Erin was looking at Tarko. After biting his tongue throughout the entire conversation, Tarko was bid good night and sent home. It was then that Keenan admitted to Erin his activities of the past two years. Tearfully, he admitted to his sister that he'd dropped out of flight school, started working for the black market, and he begged his sister to stay away from Tarko. The resulting fight between the twins was the lowest point of their relationship. Erin agreed to stay away from Tarko, but she also stated that now that Tarko knows where they live she didn't feel safe at the house anymore. She gave Keenan an ultimatum: She would move in with one of her girlfriends for two months and if Keenan wasn't back in flight school and completely away from the Black Market by that time, then she would be forced to turn to the police to protect him. After a long, tearful hug, Erin packed a suitcase and moved to the other side of town, and Keenan began the long hard road of going straight.
Keenan immediately cut himself free of the Black Market's jobs, despite fairly regular requests to pass on envelopes. He was never intimidated back into the work, but the requests came often. He took on more hours at Pete's and was in contact with the admissions director at the flight school. Keenan was doing exactly what his sister demanded, and their phone conversations were becoming increasingly more civil. He wanted his life back, and he wanted his sister back. However, the Raios family was not blessed, and tragedy struck once more. Shortly after a phone conversation that his sister was going to move back into the home, the Cylon Holocaust began. Today nothing stands where his sister was staying, and Keenan has lost hope that he could find his sister's remains.
Since the Holocaust, Keenan has been living the life of a refugee, doing small technical repair jobs when allowed. Hiding the truth of his flight experience out of guilt, feeling unworthy of a flight job, he's kept his head down. However, the dark humor of fate hasn't been lost on Keenan. His sister died, but Tarko and a few other shady faces he's seen had survived. They never speak, but they have made eye contact more than once.
Now that there is a civilian ship and privacy, the Black Market is growing, and they've started to ask Keenan if he's in for the work. Keenan has been turning them down, but the pressure has been increasing. He offered to help pilot the Elpis, and it was suggested that he enlist in the Navy. Not immediately wanting to do so, he resumed his bar tending job at Colonial Pete's, but all it did was put him in contact with more of Tarko's people. After being forced one evening to pass an envelope to a client upon fear of Tarko harming him, he immediately enlisted and disappeared into basic training among the fleet's military vessels.
His life as a criminal is completely off the record, and aside from his sister and the criminals involved, his actions have gone completely unnoticed to date.
