Internal Affairs

Chapter One

 Tee uploaded two photos that really illustrate the Beam character in this book.  Very happy.  He looks bad but soft at the same time.  

 Note:

 This book is a fiction book.  I'm also an amateur and don't have much time to research.  I accept constructive criticism outside the plot but 😂 (the plot is something I can't change)

 So enjoy

 Beam looked at the paper in his hands without any expression

 "I've spoken to your father"

 His Division Chief's words made Beam's face frown.  He does not like if someone links his work and his father.  He doesn't like to be thought of as piggybacking on his father's name.  He wants to be recognized for his abilities.  But he is no longer a high school kid who is easily burned by emotions so he tries to hold back.

 "He looks unhappy but he leaves all of his decisions to you," the Division Chief said.

 Beam takes a deep breath.

 "If you don't want to, I will leave this assignment to Earth," said the Beam Division Head while trying to pull the paper in Beam's hand but Beam pulled the paper first.

 "I didn't say I didn't want to," Beam said quickly.

Beam's Division Chief smiled happily.  He knows how Beam and Earth always compete with each other and it benefits him.

 "So?"  asked the division head.

 Beam thought for a moment then nodded.  The head of his division laughed broadly and patted the shoulder of Beam who sat next to him.

 "I know that I will be able to count on you"

 "What are you deaf now?!!!" Said beam to  Earth, which initially only silent while listening to Beam's explanation, looked at Beam angrily.

 "Are you crazy!"  he shouted.

 Beam pulled Earth and closed his mouth as everyone in the restaurant looked at them suspiciously.  Earth sat and pushed Beam's hand.  He looked at Beam closely.  Beam is like a brother to him.  They have been together since childhood.  Inseparable.

 "This is not a game Beam You could die," Earth disagreed.

 Beam smiled and looked at Earth.  He wanted to laugh seeing Earth worrying about him "Our work has been dangerous since we started Earth. Even without this task, we could die at any time. We always joke that everyone has to order a coffin when stepping into this division," he said.

 Beam pulled the sleeve of Earth's shirt.  Earth tattooed the list of names of their friends who died in his arms.  Many rumors circulated that these names were the names of men who had slept with him and Beam always made fun of Earth because of that.  But Beam knows for sure the meaning of these names.

 "One day my name might be written there," Beam said.

 Earth pulled the sleeve of his shirt and closed the tattoo.  He made a fist

 "Not necessarily," said Earth, pouting "It could be me who left  you first," said Earth.

 Beam laughed "ehm ... maybe" he said while drinking beer in his glass.

 Earth sighed.  Both were silent for a few moments.

 "So. When will you start?"  asked Earth

 Beam looked at the rest of the beer in his glass.

 "Next week," Beam answered.

 Earth patted Beam's head softly "Want to go to the beach this weekend?"  asked Earth
