BIA Ch. 78
As soon as he stepped into the bathroom, he grabbed the showerhead. It took a while to warm up, but thankfully the hot water worked fine. However, no matter how much hot water he poured on it, the ink on his back wouldn't come off. It didn't even smudge when he scrubbed it with body wash, so it must be some kind of special ink like henna. "Damn it. What the hell did you do to my body?" Isaiah cursed, looking at his back, which had turned red from all the scrubbing. He got even angrier thinking…-

“Hey.” Chester suddenly spoke. “What did Bran say to make you switch sides?” “What do you mean, what did he say.” Isaiah, who happened to be thinking about Bran, deliberately answered more indifferently to hide his flustered feelings. “He said he would pay more generously than WD. That’s all.” “What, that’s it?” Chester made a dumbfounded expression. “That’s it.” “Is money important?” “To a guy who works for money, what else is…-

“Should I give it to you?” As he asked, opening the front door, Chester spoke to Manny, who was behind him, instead of answering. “Don’t come in, go buy us something to eat.” “Yes? Where should I go… what should I buy?” Manny asked, looking flustered at the sudden order. Isaiah went inside and explained to Manny. “When we came in the taxi earlier, there was that big bookstore. The one with the yellow sign.” “Oh, the one in front of the bus stop?” “Yeah. Right…-

Day Six The flight from Eloy to Virginia took a little less than three hours. He took off at 7:50 AM, arrived at Richmond Airport at 10:30 AM, and after taking a taxi, reached the WD headquarters building a little after exactly 11:00 AM. “Isaiah, what’s going on? You did not even call.” He went straight to the director’s office on the 4th floor, and Morgan’s secretary, Howard, exclaimed with wide eyes. “I have something to talk about with Morgan.” “He’s with a guest right…-

Isaiah got out of the car and immediately crossed the street. As he opened the door to the bar and went inside, thick cigarette smoke greeted him. Through the smoke, he could see a few regulars, drunkards, sitting at their usual spots, drinking beer and vodka and chatting. As always, no one gave Isaiah a second glance. Isaiah walked up to the bar and ordered a Roy Rogers right away. The middle-aged man who owned the bar and was also the bartender glanced at Isaiah’s face, then spoke without stopping…-

Even when faced with a gun pointed at him, Bran didn't seem surprised. Instead, he smiled and said, "You had bullets left?" Only then did Isaiah remember that Bran had been the one who emptied his gun case. Seeing that there weren't any spare bullets, he must have roughly guessed the KTW bullet supply situation on this side. "Want to check?" Instead of relaxing his stance, Isaiah gripped his gun even tighter. It was to show that he had the grip safety engaged. Bran looked at Isaiah and…-

“What, why are you throwing it away?” “I don’t take pills.” He spat out the words curtly and flopped onto the bed. Then, feeling uncomfortable in his clothes, he got up again. Taking off his coat and then the jacket he was wearing underneath, Isaiah asked Chester, “You bought this outfit too, right?” “You know it well.” Chester puffed up his chest, acting smug. “Who would wear clothes like this except for you.” Isaiah tossed the discarded jacket into the wooden…-

“I told you to bring cash.” “Who carries cash these days?” “Useless.” Isaiah clicked his tongue and went into the apartment building first. “What, you can just pay with the fee included!” Manny grumbled from behind, as if he felt wronged for being cursed at. The taxi driver loudly wished Isaiah a good night, not Manny. “Hey, you’re back, right?” Manny shouted, running into the building as soon as the fare was paid. Instead of answering, Isaiah silently went up the…-

“You son of a bitch, wanna die?” The driver of the car that honked hurled insults as he passed. Behind him, cars whizzed by, cutting through the dark road. As if pushed, Isaiah retreated to the shoulder of the road, forgetting to catch his breath, and habitually patted his back pocket. His gun was gone. “Shit…” No wonder the back of his thigh felt empty when he was running. Even while cursing, Isaiah calmly patted himself down again. But the gun was nowhere to be found. Not even…-

BIA Ch. 69
The man had pulled his hat down low, obscuring his face. He wore a black jacket over a gray hoodie, and the moment Isaiah saw that very common gray hoodie, he felt a strange thump in his chest, like his heart had dropped. “What’s wrong?” Bran asked, noticing the subtle change in his expression. “No. It’s nothing.” Isaiah tried to sound nonchalant as he sliced his sandwich. In the meantime, the man shuddered and headed to the counter. Afraid of making eye contact with him, Isaiah…-
