Harvey Guillén

He says he wants to recruit thousands more members.

And he starts saying the quiet part out loud.

That the BBC needs to be a national organization of kids close to their inheritances.

One that can expand and create companies all over the world.

In places like Hong Kong, Hamburg, and Rio.

Meanwhile, in Joe's loyal circle, people start talking about buying what they call an ice house, which is a retreat they can escape to should things really hit the fan.

And Joe starts buying books like Hitman, Technical Manual for Independent Contractors, and Black Bag Owner's Manual, too.

Which brings me to the person Joe buys those books for, Jim Pittman.

Jim is Joe's bodyguard.

They met while Jim was working security at some event Joe attended.

They got to talking and Joe ended up hiring Jim to teach karate lessons, one of the BBC's many random extracurriculars.

He then brought him on board as his personal security guard.

Jim is 5'8 and 210 pounds of solid muscle.

Joe tells people he's a former All-American NFL football player who also spent some time working for the mob, and none of that is true.

That's just a backstory he invents.

Why?

I don't know.

But Jim really is a karate guy.

He's good at it.

He's won lots of competitions.
