Helping Mr. Gang Leader try and fix what was happening
Helping Mr. Gang Leader.Chapter 92: try and fix what was happening . By the time she and Ezekiel got back to the car the street had thinned out enough that Gianna could get the car turned around and headed in the direction that Ezekiel pointed her in.A quick look in the mirror revealed to Gianna that she was as dirty looking as Ezekiel, skin and clothes covered with dark splotches of soot and dirt. And they both smelled horrible, too. Chances were they were tracking the smell into the car, and getting rid of it would be difficult, but that certainly wasn’t at the forefront of her mind.The so called safe location, the rendezvous point, was towards the eastern portion of Mariposa’s territory, and the second floor of a mostly empty office building that was in desperate need of renovations.It was, in retrospect, a good meeting place. No one from the outside was going to think anything was going on in the inside.“Gia!”Gianna was only a few feet through the door when Giovanni smashe
Helping Mr. Gang Leader a gaping hole left behind
Helping Mr Gang Leader .Chapter 93: a gaping hole left behind. Clearing her voice, Gianna said, “My parents, when they first started trying for kids, wanted a girl first. I know that’s a little odd. Most parents just want a healthy baby, or, let’s face it, a boy. But my parents wanted a girl. They had a name picked out that they agreed on long before she was ever conceived, and there was never any doubt in their minds that they’d be having a girl first and foremost.”Gianna marked the steady rise and fall of Dante’s chest. It was a nice change from the stuttering that had come for so long hours ago.“I have a sinking suspicion,” Gianna told him, “that my parents only wanted one child. As you know, my father has a very intense, stressful, and time-consuming job. And my mother, like me, never let her health condition get in the way of having a career. Did I mention she was an editor at a local publishing house? When she was young and single, she’d spend fifteen hours there in a day s
Helping Mr. Gang Leader It’s not a perfect system
Helping Mr Gang Leader .Chapter 94: It’s not a perfect system. Gianna told him, “You have to have a heart. You have to be patient. The people who raised him, the people who loved and cared for him and were Dante’s world, just died. I can promise you from personal experience it feels like a piece of him just got ripped out and there’s nothing but a gaping hole left behind. Do you even understand that?”Gianna wondered if Sal really did. Sal, from what Gianna could tell, and compared to Dante, was relatively untouched. His parents and sister were perfectly fine, minimally exposed to danger, and they probably even had someone around the clock watching their residence. Sal hadn’t lost what Dante had. There was no way he could possibly understand that kind of loss.“And I’m telling you,” Sal said, face set, “that Dante is the leader of Mariposa. He is the face and the support of Mariposa. He is what keep the gang going. And now, more than ever, he needs to be out there, visible and stro
Helping Mr. Gang Leader Prepared for what
Helping Mr. Gang Leader .Chapter 95: Prepared for what.Gianna dropped to her knees in front of Dante, catching his hands in a grip and demanding, “Don’t you dare for guilty for not hurting an innocent little girl.”Dante looked away. “If I had, if I’d just sacrificed one life that meant nothing to me, I could have saved my grandparents, and the twenty-six-other people who died. You tell me, which lives are more important? The twenty-eight total, or the one? And what about the property damage? And everyone who’s scared now? Don’t you tell me that I didn’t make the wrong call by backing away from the most important information I’ll ever have on Maddox.”Palms sweating, Gianna said, “I could never love a person who is capable of ordering the death of an innocent child, regardless of the circumstances, consequences, or context.”Dante’s shoulders slumped even further, and he admitted, “I’m done, Gia. I’m just done.”Standing once more, Gianna took a deep breath. Then she told Dante, “
Helping Mr. Gang Leader dead men can’t tell secrets.
Helping Mr. Gang Leader . Chapter 96: dead men can’t tell secrets.. Gianna came awake with a gasp and a flush of pain. She jerked instinctively, sucking in a deep lungful of air, and then several more, eyes darting around the room.Oh, god.She was somewhere very bad.From across the room Clyde looked towards her, breaking off the conversation he’d been having with Hagrid. He said a few, soundless words to his companion, then began making his way to towards Gianna.Panic, in the meanwhile, was an overwhelming dagger to the gut, stabbing Gianna over and over as she looked from the dried blood on the floor of the room she was in, to the plain, gray cement walls and the flickering light above her.This was the torture chamber that Mariposa always joked about, knowing it existed in some form, but never having any hard proof.Because people who came into this room—this room that was cold like an ice house and probably several stories underground, didn’t come out. At least not breathin
Helping Mr. Gang Leader Internal bleeding, if there was any
Helping Mr. Gang Leader . Chapter 97: Internal bleeding, if there was any.Gianna was scared for herself. She was scared that this was how her life ended, unfairly and without the kind of closure she thought she deserved. But compared to hearing her brother’s name come out of Hagrid’s mouth? It was nothing compared to the new fear that Hagrid would be hurt by Infinite in any way.If they were willing to do this to her, how much worse would they do to Giovanni?They’d do more than just destroy her little brother. Because with Giovanni, who was a member of Mariposa, it would be personal.Clyde joined Hagrid in front of her, head tilting as he asked, “You want us to believe that you don’t know your brother’s friends are Mariposa’s core members? You want us to believe that you haven’t been hanging out with Cypher obliviously, like you’re some naïve little kid?”Gianna’s eyes widened, hopefully in a believable way. “No! I would never let Giovanni associate with a gang! And I’d never kn
Helping Mr. Gang Leader Organized Chaos
Helping Mr. Gang Leader . Chapter 98: organized chaos .Gianna tried to give the most helpless, hapless shrug she’d ever managed in her life. “I know he’s one of my brother’s friends. I guess you’re telling me he’s a member of Mariposa right now, but I really didn’t know. I just thought he was some punk kid who thought his stupid nickname was clever. I put up with him for the sake of my brother. No other reason.”Without warning Maddox scooted forward to the front of his seat to peer at her. “What if I think you’re bullshitting me?”Gianna felt her heart give a stutter, but after that it was back on track, so she was able to breathe some kind of relief and answer, feeling faint, “Then I assume you’ll have your dogs drag me back to where I was before. And you’ll hurt me until I tell you a different story.”With a shrug, Maddox asked, “Don’t you think this is a good option for me? I let Clyde flex his more … eccentric interests, and I learn the truth. I shouldn’t have to tell you peo
Helping Mr. Gang Leader a gang leader’s fault
Helping Mr. Gang Leader . Chapter 99: a gang leader’s fault .“Giovanni. It’s me.”Giovanni’s end of the line was silent save for a large exhale of breath. Then he exploded. “Gia! Where the hell are you? We’ve all been frantic with worry. I went by the clinic and you weren’t there, and no one had seen you! I even tried with dad! And you wouldn’t believe how bad Cy--”“Giovanni!”Maybe that was the bigger plan at work. Maybe, Gianna theorized, Maddox was hoping that calling Giovanni was going to expose her in some way. And it was entirely possible if Gianna didn’t get a handle on the conversation right away.“Gia?”Swallowing hard, Gianna kept her eyes on the table in front of her and said, “Giovanni, it’s very important that you listen to what I’m about to tell you. Don’t talk. Just listen. Do you understand?”It took a moment for him to reply, “You’re scaring me.”Good, Gianna thought, the more scared the better. It would prompt him into acting quicker.“I’m okay,” Gianna said. “

Helping Mr. Gang Leader Start Living
Helping Mr. Gang Leader .Epilogue: Time to start living .If six months ago, when Gianna had been worried that her father would pull funding for the clinic, and that they’d have to close their doors to an ailing public who needed them, anyone had told Gianna that not only would her clinic be surviving, but also thriving and expanding, she would have laughed and then likely wept.But with the summer heat beating down outside, Angelo sending post cards regularly, Harry a fulltime practitioner at the clinic, and full community support, the clinic was now officially relocated to a building that was three times its original size.It was a surreal moment for Gianna, walking through the front doors of the new clinic that was set to open in less than two days, looking around at what her hard work and dedication had finally landed her.Infinite being flushed out of the area, regardless of how it had happened and the part Gianna felt she played in it, was the best thing that could have happe
Helping Mr. Gang Leader Crying
Helping Mr. Gang Leader.Chapter 109: crying for the rest of my life .Maddox was in the apartment.Maddox was in a personal, private space that was supposed to be safe. And if he’d gotten past the men standing guard outside …Wiggling her toes a little against the water, Gianna asked quietly, “What are you doing here?.”She didn’t want to wake Dante. She couldn’t. If Dante came out here to where Maddox was with a gun, it would only put him in danger. Gianna couldn’t risk that. She wouldn’t.“It’s all gone,” Maddox eased out, moving forward fully into the light, gun raised to Gianna’s chest level. “It’s gone and it’s your fault.”“My fault?” Gianna questioned. She shook her head a little. “No. I …”“Clyde,” Maddox said morosely, more like a sad wail than anything else. “Clyde. He’s gone.”Gianna took that as confirmation that Clyde was likely dead.“I didn’t kill him,” Gianna said evenly.Maddox looked … worrisome. From where Gianna was standing she could see that Maddox’s eyes wer
Helping Mr. Gang Leader Maddox
Helping Mr. Gang Leader . Chapter 108: Maddox .“Gia!”Gianna was jarred away from her conversation with Rio as Giovanni nearly barreled into her side, exclaiming, “This party is awesome!”“You just like it because of the food,” Gianna accused, but she gave Giovanni a playful nudge to the shoulder. “Go ahead and eat as much as you want. I hear that the person who’s supposed to be looking after your eating habits hasn’t been doing a good job.”Giovanni made a surprised squeak, damaged eyebrows going high. Rio scoffed.With the speeches over the floor was quickly becoming a small dancing area, music playing softly. It was a sure sign that the night was starting to conclude.Giovanni dashed back to the food table and Gianna turned to Rio, asking, “Do you want to dance?” She would have loved if Dante had been able to come. Truthfully, Gianna was a bit desperate to finally be able to show off the person who held her heart. But Dante had been extra busy with Axel lately, and she was tryi
Helping Mr. Gang Leader Unrequited Love
Helping Mr. Gang Leader . Chapter 107: Unrequited love: The most painful kind of love to be trapped in .There was something to be said for persevering through adversity.Because for the first time in a very long time, Gianna managed to have an amazing Christmas.Christmas time for Gianna was typically not a huge event. She knew a fairly large number of people who celebrated the holiday, both religiously and in the secular sense, but with Gianna’s reduced family size, there weren’t a lot of people to celebrate with. She might go to a party or two, and see Giovanni for a few hours, but that was it. Most years she bought Christmas presents for the people she knew—almost in a compulsive way, and received a few only from the people she tended to be closest with.When she’d been a child, it had been the house keepers and nannies buying both herself and Giovanni presents with a prescribed budget from their father. Gianna couldn’t remember the last time her father had handed her a pres
Helping Mr. Gang Leader Mariposa takes care of family
Helping Mr. Gang Leader . Chapter 106: Mariposa takes care of family .For the first time in a while, Gianna saw some kind of amusement in her father’s eyes. The kind of emotion that Gianna thought had been carefully cut out over the years.“I’ve lied a lot over the past week and a half,” Her father said, looking Gianna in the eyes. “I lied about where my information about Infinite came from. I lied about Mariposa’s association with what happened. I lied about Mariposa’s identities. I lied about you being there at all, other than coincidentally, and I falsified information to make certain people disappear from the records. Not only that, I’ve … provided certain incentives to other individuals to make sure no important names ever come up or can be tied to this.”“Oh, dad,” Gianna sighed out, tears in her eyes.“Considering I deployed the national guard,” his father continued, “to offer back up to one gang over another in a conflict that spilled out onto the streets and ended up inju
Helping Mr. Gang Leader A medical mystery
Helping Mr. Gang Leader . Chapter 105: a medical mystery .Gianna screamed. She screamed her throat raw until it was painful to even breathe, and then she kept screaming, eyes locked on Rio’s body.“Shut the fuck up!” Clyde demanded, stalking towards her, the gun still raised.No. Not Rio. There was no way Rio was dead. He couldn’t be.“I said shut the fuck up!”Gianna couldn’t. She couldn’t stop screaming. She wasn’t in control of her body anymore.Clyde fired off a second shot, inches from Gianna. The bullet imbedded into the ground and Gianna fell quiet maybe out of an inability to do anything else, more than the fear.“Christ! Finally.” Clyde let out a long breath.Gianna gasped out a sob, and then she was crying openly, reaching out trembling fingers for Rio.Blood was seeping out around Rio’s body at a slow crawl, but from the way he’d fallen Gianna couldn’t tell where the bullet had gone in. She couldn’t even properly address the injury. She couldn’t do anything but collapse
Helping Mr. Gang Leader Infinite bastards
Helping Mr. Gang Leader . Chapter 104: infinite bastards .The moment she injected the morphine into herself, feeling the buzz of the drug kick in, chasing away the pain, she sighed in relief. It made her a little loopy, relaxing back against the bed in a useless kind of way, but she was so thankful to be free of the pain she’d felt constantly for a day, that it was worth it.And it was hard, so terribly hard, with how exhausted she was, and lonely and scared, but after that Gianna forced herself to sit up and keep going.In the other syringe she loaded a likely lethal dose of sedative. It was hard to tell though, even for a doctor, as Infinite employed various sized people. The dose she’d filled would kill someone like Donald, put someone like Clyde into a coma, and likely only knock out someone Hagrid’s size.She wasn’t looking to kill anyone, but if they sent Hagrid after her, Gianna couldn’t take the chance that a smaller dose would barely have any effect. Hagrid was strong, in
Helping Mr. Gang Leader Karma?
Helping Mr. Gang Leader . Chapter 103: Karma? .When they locked her back in her room that night after the phone call, instead of taking her downstairs, it was absolutely clear to Gianna that they planned to use her as bait. They were going to dangle her out in front of Mariposa in the coming days and reduce her to mere fodder.Gianna, who cared more about Giovanni and Dante, and the rest of Mariposa, than anyone else in the world, was not willing to let that stand.She wasn’t just going to roll over and let things happen. Infinite had the advantage now, but Gianna was creative. She was creative, and above all else, she was desperate.So that night, using a pair of grooming sheers she found in the bathroom, she tore up the sheets on her bed. They were thick and of an extremely high quality, the kind of thread count that Gianna had grown up sleeping on. The best money could buy. But most importantly, it meant the material didn’t have much give. And she could wrap her ribs tightly an
Helping Mr. Gang Leader Gia is Mariposa now
Helping Mr. Gang Leader . Chapter 102: Gia is Mariposa now . “For Gia, right?” Giovanni asked, staring hard at Dante. “We’re going in for Gia, right?”And not for Maddox. The second half of the question was left off, but implied all the same.Rio said hotly, “If I come across that bastard, I’m going to take a shot.”“You’re not alone,” Ezekiel interjected.“Of course,” Dante said, voice going rough. “If any of us has the chance to end this by cutting the head off the snake, take the shot. But this is about getting Gia out. Leave Axel and his men to gun for Maddox. If we get Gia out, then we can hit Maddox later, on our own terms, and without him dangling someone we love over our heads.”Jovani leaned back, unease on his face, and said, “There’s one thing I’m really worried about.” He looked to Sal. “The cops.”“They could be a problem,” Sal agreed.“They will be a problem,” Jovani corrected. “They’re not just in Infinite’s pocket. They’re owned by Infinite. There isn’t a cop on th
