More dead bodies?? argghhh.
“you really wouldn’t kill some harmless reporters now would you?” I ask him.
“oh my beautiful girl… when it comes to protecting my family and everything we have built there is no law I won’t break and there is nothing I won’t do to protect us. That’s what we are, our essence. It is ingrained in us.” he smiles.

I cough and take a bite of my pastry. It is so soft and flaky. The flavors and the way the butter melts in my mouth is so delicious. I focus on the flavors as I gather my thoughts together.
