King of Ashes

During Roman’s shift at the crematory, Weldon, the son of the man who owns Jackson Brothers Funeral Home, delivers a body. The men discuss how organized crime and violence in Jefferson Run have escalated as the city’s economy declines. This year alone, Weldon has seen four bodies that were viciously mauled by dogs before being shot in the head.

When Roman returns home, Khalil is waiting for him. Roman and Dante tell the mercenary all about their situation with the Black Baron Boys. Khalil and Roman agree that the best path forward is for Roman to use his financial skills to earn Torrent and Tranquil’s trust and then take the gang down from the inside.

Roman suggests that he and his siblings visit their father together the next day. Neveah grows frustrated because she suspects that she’ll be handling Keith’s long-term care by herself or running the business alone in the event of his death. Roman apologizes and offers to take care of the crematory if she wants to take time off in the future.

Chauncey calls Neveah and reveals that Getty had ties to both the BBB and a rival gang, the Ghost Town Crew (GTC).
