BIA Ch. 130
Whether he knew Samuel was holding his breath under the covers or not, Bran spoke to his lover in the same affectionate voice. “Do that. Think of me when you see a gun, Isaiah. Even if it’s just for that reason, don’t shoot guns anymore.” It was strange. He had seen several of Bran's lovers before, and heard the sweet nothings Bran whispered to them many times. Sometimes they were so ardent it made his face flush, sometimes so sweet it made his whole body squirm. But never before had his…-

The Last Day At the jarring alarm sound, Samuel’s eyes snapped open. It felt like he’d only closed them for a moment, but it was already eight o’clock. He quickly found his phone, turned off the alarm, and sat up. There was no one else in the room. Chester had slept in another room, and Bran… had probably woken up long ago. At least an hour ago, surely. He was an extreme short sleeper. He wasn't the type to need much sleep originally, but the sleep disorder he started suffering from a few…-

The scheduled flight departure time was 9:20 AM. After arriving at the airport, checking in, and waiting, Hagan, who had been contacted by Samuel, showed up. He looked more like a clergyman than a lawyer. To think that with such a kind-looking face, his livelihood involved researching how to commit illegal acts while skirting the law. It truly was a world where you couldn't judge anything by appearances alone. Samuel took him to a cafe inside the airport and returned alone about thirty minutes…-

“Bennett Wiseman.” Isaiah answered, leaning his head against the car window. “Because Bran wasn’t the first agent the FBI infiltrated into the Kalisz family. The fact that his father was there before Bran means someone else will likely be there after Bran too.” It would probably continue like that. The Kalisz family was the only Irish mob among Eloy City's major organizations, and compared to La Cosa Nostra, they were a relatively easier group to penetrate. “And it was standard…-

BIA Ch. 126
It really was a pointless worry. If he did that, his identity would be exposed too. Would he be crazy enough to do such a thing? Besides, if it went that far, Chester would have no choice but to deny it with his life on the line. To reach a reasonable compromise, he needed to give these guys some breathing room. Isaiah ground out his cigarette butt with the tip of his shoe and deliberately sneered. “Shut up, you ungrateful little shit. I tolerated your shitty techniques and even your premature…-

"And straightway coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens opened, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon him." Pastor Benjamin, with both hands raised high and his voice booming, finally stepped down from the pulpit. As the emcee announced the hymn number, people began to sing in unison. In that moment, Pastor Benjamin, who had fully descended the stairs, stood before the congregation. There, a vessel filled with holy water was placed. Bran was the first to rise and approach it. He knelt on…-

BIA Ch. 124
It was five in the afternoon when they landed at Eloy Airport and retrieved their luggage. Fortunately, thanks to Jack sending a car, they didn't have to stop by the rental car agency and deal with nonsense about mobile driver's licenses or cell phones. Instead, they had to face an FBI agent waiting in the parking lot with a sour face. “Do I really have to play chauffeur for you?” The large, shaved-headed man cursed as soon as he saw Mickey. Getting out of the driver's seat, he slammed the door…-

Day Sixteen The nurse who took the application form looked at Isaiah’s face and confirmed once more. “The patient’s name is Joseph Cole, correct?” “That’s correct.” “And the guardian’s name?” “Isaiah Cole.” The nurse flipped through the multi-page application, her eyes scanning only the signature sections. “Have you heard the full explanation from the attending physician about stopping life-sustaining treatment?” “I’ve heard everything, and we’ve…-

BIA Ch. 122
“But you must have been surprised to find him in the mafia.” Was I surprised? Isaiah wondered, scrubbing his hair with soapy hands. It felt more like sadness. Did he decide to follow his father's path after all? Can blood ties truly not be overcome? Can a person never defeat fate, no matter how hard they struggle? All sorts of thoughts ran through his mind. “In a way… yes, that’s right. He did follow in his father’s footsteps.” “Exactly.” After thoroughly scrubbing his scalp,…-

BIA Ch. 121
Isaiah put a cigarette to his lips and took a long drag. But he couldn't taste anything. “Of course, the higher-ups haven't thought of connecting this to you. They know Bran pays special attention to you, but they believe it’s because you’re from the same facility. Plus, a slight sense of moral responsibility. So they think the reason for Bran’s sudden change in attitude is because he’s conscious of Chester. Because someone who was completely off the radar suddenly started making his presence…-
