I had always been taught to fear them. Always told that what they believe was the opposite of what was true.

But for some reason, I felt caught in the middle. I didn’t necessarily agree with everything my father and his family believed.

It probably didn’t help that my golden retriever Sadie had been given to me just a few years earlier. The boy had seemed nice and trustworthy. Only later did I find out it was the bosses son who had given her to me.

I always wondered if they would ever try to recruit me to their side.

Even though the truth scared me, I knew what the answer would be.
