Benjamin held out the ring toward James. His eyes held nothing but seriousness, the smile was gone.
This has gotta be a trap. How the fuck did he come up with an idea like this?
James's thoughts swirled between the possible outcomes, accepting Benjamin's loyalty and the problems that would come with it.
It wasn't just a problem for him but for the others as well.
He had loyal men, and how would they react if he accepted a federal agent so lightly into his family?
It would make him look like a snitch, or worse, that he had made a deal to save his own ass.
James's hand twitched at his side. All the movies, all the documentaries he had watched, every single one of them ended the same way.
If they accepted a deal like this, they all died.
"How interesting." James grabbed the ring from Benjamin, who watched him carefully.
It was a gold signet ring, a beautifully crafted one.
