wonder if Brandon planning to get married and have kids was an early sentence to the grave, so the there would be no more male kids from their blood line ?.
That is the only reason I can think off why he got the bullet. He was a decent guy.

Spending much of my youth in Chinatown gambling dens,the gangsters where pretty much united in telling me that he pissed of some high powered chinks and his murder was about saving face.
