Frank continued driving down the empty highway, silent, looking into the backseat of his semi-truck every once in a while to check on the mysterious infant, that miraculously came with its own car seat. Frank’s eyes started to water as he started thinking about what had just happened. Then he began to feel guilty, he missed his thirteenth anniversary for this? Frank knew his wife wanted kids, but her own, not some kid who got mixed up within a huge illegal drug deal, she probably couldn’t take care of kids right now either.

The two people who were carrying him stopped, placed him on the ground, ripped the cloth bag off his head, and let go of his body, and then Baruch fell to his knees. When he looked up, Andrew Gurule was pacing in front of him, “Sonny boy, Baruch, god son, darling child filled with potential, why must you fail me like this?
