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,…-

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…-

Isaiah was a little taken aback. Looking beside him, Mickey was also frozen with a bewildered expression. “Why all of a sudden?” Isaiah asked, trying hard to sound nonchalant. 「Just because. I was curious about my subordinate's face.」 “Since when was the FBI your subordinate?” He deliberately threw Bran's words back at him, trying to buy time, but it was useless. 「Why are you dragging this out?」 “What am I dragging out?” 「Is there some reason you can't show me?…-

Kestrel paused, his hand hovering over the beer can on the table. He blinked, staring at Isaiah for a moment before speaking. “This is too sudden.” “Getting fired two days before D-day was plenty sudden too.” “Ah, that’s true.” Kestrel nodded. As if finally able to move again, he took a sip of beer and put the can back down. “You worked well together for months, so I wondered why they would suddenly request a replacement right before the biggest job, just two days…-

“Isaiah.” Morgan rose from his desk chair. “Welcome. Sorry for calling you so late.” “It’s alright. I was planning to stop by tomorrow on my way anyway.” Morgan nodded and approached. He patted Isaiah’s shoulder as if telling him to sit first, then sat down himself on the visitor sofa opposite him. “The reason I asked you to come today is…” Morgan hesitated, which was rare for him. He even wiped his mouth area once with his hand. This was a gesture he showed when he…-

“What?” Mickey exclaimed with a startled face. “Wh-What are you suddenly saying……!” “I told you not to make me repeat myself.” Isaiah warned lowly instead of answering. As if pretending he hadn't understood, Mickey quickly stood up and threw off his suit jacket and shirt. Then, stealing glances at Isaiah, he took off his pants too. “Why aren’t you taking off your underwear.” “I, I have a girlfriend!” “So what? I have a boyfriend.” Mickey’s face went…-

“What…?” Isaiah narrowed his brow unconsciously. “What does that mean?” Mickey looked quite troubled. His restless blue eyes clearly held the anguish of someone who knew he shouldn't reveal such inside information but couldn't help but speak. “It's exactly as it sounds.” Wiping his sweaty palms on his thighs, Mickey spoke in a hoarse voice. “On D-day, that's the day after tomorrow. Martino will strike the Kalisz family as they leave the church. To be precise, he'll hit…-

Isaiah went to the foster father's bedroom on the second floor, picked up the rifle, and approached the window. The lights were still off. Without moving the curtains, he opened the window just about half a handspan. He precisely shouldered the rifle's stock between his shoulder and chest and inserted only the muzzle slightly through the window gap. Through the night vision goggles, the residential alley, now appearing entirely green, was illuminated by yellow headlight beams. Then, a black Ford sedan came…-

As Isaiah placed the gun with the slide pulled back onto his chest, Chester glanced at it sideways, then belatedly licked Isaiah’s blood from his own lips. “By the way, is this blood?” “Yeah. Welcome to the world of HIV.” “What? Don’t be ridiculous.” After shouting with a flustered face for a moment, Chester realized Isaiah was joking and calmly said, “Well, since I’m infected anyway, let me do it.” It seemed like asking to ‘do it’ was practically stuck to this…-

Day Fifteen As soon as it turned 9 AM, there was a knock on the door. Isaiah instinctively grabbed the pistol he had tucked under the cushion. “Who is it?” He asked, pressed close to the front door, without pulling back the slide. Soon, a clear voice called out from outside. “Hello, it’s Alejandro. I’m here to clean.” Isaiah held his breath and put his eye to the peephole in the door. Through the peephole, he saw a man wearing an old gray tracksuit. His hair was shorter and his…-
