Chapter 5

Bobby jerked his eyes open, adjusting his eyes he was in a hospital room. His jaw tightened. Mico knew he hated hospitals, and the fact he was in nothing but a hospital gown. He hated the smell; it was too clean and he was going to beat the shit out of Mico when he saw him again.

“Oh, good you are awake.” The Doctor said looking at him. “You had to have two surgeries, we almost lost you on the first one. Who shot you?” His eyes not leaving Bobby’s.

Bobby wasn’t going to answer him. He didn’t want the police involved; he hated the line of questioning. “Don’t worry about it when I am out of here, I will take care of my problems.” Bobby snapped. “I need my phone and my clothes.” He snapped. “If you don’t give them to me, I will walk out of here bare ass.”

The Doctor cocked his eyebrow, “You have only what you are wearing there. Mico told me to call him when you woke up.” He said clearing his throat. “Why did you get shot? With silver of all things.” He asked, “Don’t worry I don’t have to tell the police yet, what you were shot with almost killed you. I am pretty surprised you made it through.”

“I said give me my fucking phone!” Bobby growled. He was losing patience; he would walk out of the hospital bare ass he didn’t care. He could see he was scaring the Doctor and that is exactly what he wanted to do. He slowly moved his feet to the side of the bed, the doctor moved away from him.

“Please stay in the bed, I will get you a phone.” He said handing him the phone and leaving you here alone. I’ll be back, in a moment, very well.” He said leaving the room.

Bobby looked down at the wounds, they hadn’t healed much, and he was in a lot of pain. Did the DeMarco family know something about silver that he didn’t know? Bobby wondered if he killed the Don. He hoped the bastard had a slow death. He smiled when he remembered he shot the bastard in the chest.

Laying his head back, he waited patiently for the Doctor to return with his belongings.

“Here.” He said coming into the room. “There is a phone and wallet only, the rest of them were destroyed when we had to cut them away from your body. The police want to speak to you.” He said handing Bobby a card. “I promise I didn’t call them, I kind of have a feeling you are part of the Mafia.”

“Oh, and what makes that so obvious?” Bobby snapped.

“Since your friend left, there are always guards outside your door. You do realize you are not welcomed in this city per your situation.” He said glancing down at his stomach.

“Yeah, you could say something like that. The only reason I am here is if you’re my daughter and someone close to me. I hate this city; I would rather be back where I am from.” Bobby said looking down at the phone. “Anything else?” he snapped without looking at the Doctor.

When he heard the Doctor shuffle out of there, he dialed Miko’s number. He was going to give him shit for bringing him to the hospital.

“Bobby?” Mico said answering the phone.

“Yeah.” He spoke. “Why the fuck did you bring me to this place? Have I not stressed to you about fuckin hospitals?” he growled.

“You were dying, I couldn’t get the bullets out.” He pleaded his case. “I didn’t think about the hospital until you were in the back with the Doctors. I almost lost you, that is not something I want.”

“Yeah, well bring me some clothes and get me the fuck out of here!” Bobby said adjusting himself, he tried not to wince in pain but it hurt like hell. He needed to speak with his father about silver, or this kind of silver. DeMarco knew something about this silver because it was some kind of different silver.

“Did you find her?”

“Who? Bobby asked confused.

“Your mate.” He said clearing his throat.

Clearly, Bobby didn’t remember. He didn’t know what to say. “Just get here, I want out of this shit hole.” He said hanging the phone up.

It took a while, Mico arrived and closed the door. “How are you feeling?”

“Like shit,” Bobby said slowly getting out of the bed. “I need to shift so this makes it faster to heal. I cannot believe he was smart enough to use silver, silver is a rarity.” He said grabbing his shirt, and then his underwear and pants. He pulled the monitors off him; he yanked the IV out of his arm. The machine started whining.

Three nurses came in, scared out of their minds. “What are you doing!” one hissed at him.

“Getting the fuck out of here. Thanks.” Bobby said standing up, Mico placed his shoes on the floor.

“You are in ICU; you cannot leave here.” She growled walking a little closer to him. Mico stepped in the way.

“Watch me!” Bobby snapped. “I need to find my daughter, me staying here is messing everything up. Now if you’re not going to help me, please get the fuck out of the way.”

The nurses moved away from the door. Bobby walked out, well more like hobbled out. His men watched his back, Mico helped him into the waiting car. Bobby needed a shower and a shift and then he would be good to go.

“Any word on my Daughter?” Bobby asked.

“No sir. But we have men watching everywhere.” Mico said glancing at him. He knew he was probably going to get an ear full.

“Do you remember when I was brought into the hospital?” Mico asked, he was hoping Bobby would remember what he said.

“I don’t know.” He said looking at the window. “I feel like something else happened that night, do you know?”

“Yeah.” He said taking a big gulp of air. “A nurse was working on you, your skin touched and you called her ‘mate’.”

“What?” Bobby said shaking his head. “Are you sure?”

“Yes.” He said looking at the road. “You could have been out of it because of the medicine that they were giving you. But I have a feeling what you said was true, you two touched you called her mate and then fell unconscious.” He said clearing his throat.

“I need to find this woman?” Bobby said moving around in his seat.

“Already two steps ahead. She lives upstate half the time, but she sleeps off-campus hospital suite.”

“Have you talked to her?” Bobby said looking at him.

“No,” he said shaking his head. “I figured you wanted to be the first one to talk to her. She knows your mafia.”

“Great,” Bobby said putting his hand to his head. He wanted to find her and explain to her what he felt. The electricity that went between him and her, he was sure she felt it too. If not, it was going to be harder to explain if she isn’t a wolf.

“You have any more information about her?”

“She is private. The only thing I can get on here is she is an ER nurse, lives alone. It doesn’t appear that she has many friends, if she does then she doesn’t see them much if at all.” He said pulling into their hotel parking lot.

“Do you have men on her?” Bobby knew the answer, but he loved testing Mico.

“Of course, how else do you think I know stuff,” Mico said laughing, he turned the car off and headed inside. Bobby followed him, Mico opened the door to his room. “I will let you shower, call me so we can get a plan in motion.” He said closing the door behind him.

Bobby went to the bathroom and started the shower. He pulled the bandages off, they hurt like hell. He felt sick, but he had to get his daughter before that damn family killed her. He examined the wounds; they were still bleeding a little.

Getting in the shower, he felt better. The steam made his body relax, it finally started healing. He knew he needed to shift, but getting it to heal this was a good thing. Closing his eyes, he tried to remember his mate’s eyes, but everything was clouded. Clenching his fists, he remembered the phone call. He wondered if it was his daughter or if it was a show to get a reaction out of him.

Did Abby know who he was, and Brenda was a lying bitch for telling him she hasn’t said anything to her about him. Was Brenda even dead? These questions lingered in his gut. He finally puked it was a mix of water and blood. He knew puking blood was a bad sign, he just hoped he could get to Abby before she was killed.
