“Good afternoon, Sir. Am I speaking to Mr. Collins?”
Misha frowned at the crisp voice before answering, “Yes. May I know to whom am I speaking?”
“This is Gregory Chase from the Beaufort Correctional Facility. You had indicated that you be informed of any change in the status of inmate NJ50236091, a certain Mr. Christian Bale. Am I correct?”
“Yes.”
“I regret to inform you Sir that the inmate passed away two nights ago.”
“Christian’s dead?” Misha repeated.
“Yes.”
“May I enquire about the cause of death?”
“The inmate was discovered dead when he failed to appear for breakfast. Preliminary investigations put cause of death as suicide. He hanged himself.”
“Why?”
Gregory hesitated, “There has been no-”
“Mr. Chase, please. Did something happen?”
“We will find out once the investigation is complete.”
Misha knew he was pushing, but he needed to know, “Has there been any speculation at all? Any wagging tongues? I’m not asking for concrete evidence before the official investigation is over but anything at all... please?”
The man breathed heavily before answering, “Sir, I apologise; but I cannot help you till the investigation is complete.”
Misha bit his lip, sighing, “I’m sorry. Thank you for informing me.”
“I’ll be in touch again once we know more,”
He pinched the bridge of his nose between his forefinger and thumb but nodded his acceptance, “Thank you.”

Misha leaned back in his chair once the call had ended, staring with unseeing eyes at the city skyline visible from his window- it appeared he would have to write that recommendation after all.
After another minute he retrieved his phone from the desk to scroll through his list of contacts.

Across town Javier glanced up from his crossword as his brother’s phone buzzed. Jeffrey Dean glanced up briefly after reading the message to meet his twin’s eyes, “It’s done.”
Javier answering smile was full of teeth, “Good.”
Nobody messed with their boys.
