And that was the reason why I hated the press the most. Because the right to know about it belonged to Mika's family to the rest of the people who cared. Because I knew your image could be going viral out there. And that this was not fair to everything she represented to us. Mikaela was more than just a woman who was brutally killed. And she deserved to have had respect. But there weren't any. I felt disgusted."I was talking to them at the time of the broadcast," I told Colton, and due to the lack of surprise in his reaction, I noticed that he also already knew about that fact. I sighed. "And I didn't think they were showing that to the world. If I knew, I would never answer. I would never have given them the chance to show that they had a power over me that I didn't even know. And they took advantage of the cue I gave. And I was weak, Colton. I finally understood what they meant about killing all my fears, to become strong. Because I was weak when I saw you and Mikaela. I let you se

Istanbul was like another world. And, in parts, I understood why my father chose that place. It wasn't for the ease with which ships from other countries could cross the ocean without drawing attention. It was not because the government of that place was not so committed to offering basic conditions for its population to survive. It was for beauty. Because he thought he deserved to be ruling a place that was beautiful enough so that no one was suspicious of what was happening under the carpet. And if no one reminded me of my reasons for being there, I would have sworn that it was just summer vacation. The sun would make me think of days of walking and holding hands. And the music that played on every corner, through the voices and instruments of street artists, would make me want to dance until dawn came.It wasn't like Boston was a destroyed and unattractive city. No. I valued the beauty of my country. It was just that Turkey made me think like someone who should travel more often. I

"What I know is that you didn't even tell me your name, but you've already shown yourself to be the kind of person I would never agree to work with "I spoke in a laughing tone, but giving my best look of reprimanding the man. He didn't even seem shaken, and kept cleaning and watching his bullets. The projectiles would be shining when he finished, especially at the time he was illustrating the ammunition. "But if you want it that way, then we have a deal. I also don't make a point of helping in this way, especially if you need it. In fact, I don't even want you to try to include me in any of the missions that are not strongly linked to the Brotherhood. The police know I don't want to get involved in investigations. I don't want to have to take unnecessary risks. I believe this must be your job.”"Names are irrelevant," he said in a cold and distant tone. His fingers pulled the tip of a projectile, and when he brought it close to his eyes, I noticed that the golden tone really shone. "A

When I returned from the shower, my roommate was still eating, but now he was already in the dessert pudding. He didn't watch me again. He continued with his head down, eating non-stop. I sat in front of him, watching his face. He didn't look back at me, he was so focused on the food that anyone could say he hadn't eaten for days. I served myself a little bit of everything, but I didn't eat.When I felt the pendant of my necklace touching my throat, I thought again about my trip to the American embassy. I was greeted by more police officers and an ambassador, and after a long conversation about all the possible advice they could give me about the mission I was starting, I was taken to a room where they asked me for the item I used the most often. I took off Mikaela's necklace and waited while they nailed a small ear that was no more than a degree of rice against the snake pendant. The necklace was still as usual, but now I knew that the police could listen without difficulty from my s

"This makes me think of the psychological terror that my brother's return gave me "I commented with a low laugh, only when the necklace hit my neck by the movement, I realized that the police would be listening to every word said; that they expected me to ask the reasons why the Brotherhood wanted that man's head so much. I just wanted to vent, I didn't even notice that I was pulling out truths that he never revealed to the world. "He died for the first time when I was very young, very young. And I thought for all the years that he deserved to have had a longer life, and that I would love to meet him. I remember all the times I prayed, asking for his return. And I remember all the times I was against the right people to support him. I criticize the Brotherhood, but I did the same for my brother for many years. I wanted him, wherever he was, to be proud to see me keep his image intact. I even had my first accident because I was upset with a friend who criticized him. I never wanted to

"I know," I commented in a brittle tone. I didn't like having to imagine that kind of life. Nothing affected me more than seeing children begging. If even in the United States, being one of the largest global powers, it was common to see something like that. Nothing would free Turkey from the same scenario. "But I wonder... If there was an opportunity, if there was enough for everyone, would the Brotherhood cease to exist? Wouldn't anyone be interested in work for the simple pleasure of killing? I don't believe that Aslan is one of the kidnapped children who are grateful for the food on the table. I don't believe that most of my brother's henchmen were people who really needed the money and a good life. I think it was a choice, but not for the same reasons. And that's what makes the police work difficult. That's why we're both partners.”"We have to filter the real innocents," said the man, and I nodded lightly. He sighed, again crossing his hands below his chin. "In this case, I thin

"How are the bids made? “I murmured, taking advantage of the sounds of the shoes hitting against the floor as people occupied the chairs around. Osman drew my attention to the arm in our chairs. There was a small green button on each chair. So I assumed that the thing should be given with a squeeze on the upholstery. That's why most who sat, kept their arms very tightly closed around their bodies. I watched the surroundings more closely, a small black curtain was hidden at the back of the hall, and you could see a few feet under the cloth. Women should be grouped there. Next to me, the policeman moved, as if he were uncomfortable, but as I was by his side, I could hear the commands that the police captain gave in his ears by the tiny listening. I turned to Osman, and he watched me only after taking a very long look at the entrance door. "You seem more nervous than ever. And keep looking at the places like that... We are a team. If you get nervous, I'll go too. Don't make me ruin every

The arrogance of the leader name of the Brotherhood would be his downfall. He never thought that the police would appear, even more so in large quantities. He never thought that a simple auction "which always took place on days of the week known to people" would cause the police to invade the place. Of course, it would not take long for his sources to inform him of what happened, but, by then, hopefully we would have released the kidnapped children. Aslan had no chance. And worst of all, he left his soldiers and friends, or brothers as they were called, alone. He didn't set up an escort outside to see if they would be okay. He didn't send people to watch the sales and make sure nothing went wrong. He left the people who trusted him the most without any protection. And the strangest thing about all this is that they still remained faithful to that rotten Brotherhood.The police easily surrendered the members of the Brotherhood in that hall, and managed to arrest all the rich who were w
