Moved by hatred

The sound of the gunshots continued for a further two minutes. Livia closed her eyes thinking about the dog and all his life projects. Livia cried because she wanted to find a good man and start a family. She started screaming when someone touch her shoulder. 

"Please, don’t kill me!" She asked.

"It's me!" Enrico murmured.

Opening eyes slowly, Livia saw the man who spent all day threatening her. If those shots didn’t kill her, at some point, Enrico wouldn’t hesitate to kill her.  Livia wiped her tears in silence, fearing for her life. 

"Hey, are you okay?"

"Because of you, they blew up the medical clinic. I invested my money in this place, and you just destroyed everything". Her eyes were full of tears.

"They are entering the clinic". He looked at the door of the room when he heard the noise of the break-in. 

"Who are they?"

The energy electricity has been cut off.

"Stay here under the table".

Enrico walked until the door and opened slowly. He went quietly down the hall and entered the room where he spent the morning with Livia. Paying attention to the stairs, he waited for an average-sized man to approach. He covered his rival's mouth and broke his neck.

As soon as he got the body out of the way, Enrico picked up the scalpel and the sharp objects from the silver platter. He heard the voices of opponents calling the name of the late partner.

Enrico waited two seconds after hiding next to the pharmacy cabinets and attacked, before the man yelled, he cut the jugular with the scalpel. He smiled while the man suffocated with his own blood.

He hid behind the door. The flash of the lantern illuminated the two bodies thrown near the bed. Before the third man asked for help, Enrico struck a blow 

The stitches broke, the warm blood ran down his arm and mingled with the blood of his enemies. He was so focused on protecting Livia, he barely felt the pain in the wound. 

Lookwise, the breath was calm when Enrico heard more voices.

After taking the pistol and a pillow, he ran to the bathroom of the clinic, it didn't take long until his next rival appeared.

Enrico threw himself on the ground when the door opened and the man fired. He cut his opponent’s heel with the scalpel and knocked him down.

The man managed to unbalance him by taking him to the ground where they started a body fight. Enrico rolled on the ground, ran his arm around his enemy’s neck and hanged him. He stole the gun from the man’s hand and shot him in the head. He enjoyed it when executed his sixth opponent without mercy.

In less than a minute, Enrico surprised another enemy, he shot the back of the bald opponent’s head. He liked to eliminate his rivals this way because he knew that bulletproof vests would prevent him from finishing the job.

He stood up while wiping blood and brain tissue from his abdomen and face. When he left the room, another shot went through the room and hit the wall.

 Moved by hatred, he stretched out his arm and shot his target in the knee. He hid when another opponent appeared, trying to give cover to the boy, who held his knee and screamed in pain.

In the second shot, Enrico pulled the trigger and shot the man who was still standing. He took a few steps for the young man who was begging for his life, but without mercy, Enrico killed him. That was the ninth man he was killing that night. 

Livia’s desperate cries caught his eye. He ran into the room where he saw the woman against the wall. Across the room, there was a fat man pointing a pistol at Livia.

"Is it your girlfriend?" He showed a yellow smile. "Don't worry, I'll play with her first, and then I'll kill you.

The moment the man raised the pistol, Enrico ran desperate, Livia closed her eyes tightly. 

It  all happened so fast that she only felt her body being pushed sideway, while Enrico felt the impact of the projectile on her arm. He wouldn't let Livia pay for his mistakes.

Enrico knew he couldn’t waste time with pain, he was trained to turn pain into hate. Furious, he took the pen next to him and ran to attack the man, who tried to shoot, but the gun jammed.

The rival gang member felt the fury of Enrico’s attack push him against the wall, the forearm pressed the man’s face to the side as he pushed the tip of the pen against his rival’s neck. He continued to strike him furiously, the blood splashed on his face. 

"Please, stop!" Livia said, crying.

He threw the lifeless body on the floor. 

Enrico went to the woman who was still crying, he pulled Livia behind the table and sat on the floor next to her. Both were silent, waiting for more attacks. He hugged her for almost ten minutes until he was sure there was no one else in the medical clinic.

Livia was terrified, it was difficult to catch her breath in the face of such savagery, but needed to recover to treat Enrico’s injuries. Despite the way he acted, holding her hostage in his own clinic and threatening her life, she was still a doctor committed to her oath.

  The bullet had been grazed, but it was enough to aggravate the existing wound in the patient’s arm. Livia found herself once again containing the bleeding and cleaning the cut to make a new suture. 

"Aw!" He complained when she closed the last point. "Do it right! . 

"I know what I’m doing." Livia replied, furious.      

The fact that man was always giving orders and making threats, without showing any gratitude and respect for her, made Livia furious. Not all the care given to him was able to soften the rudeness. 

 After activating the power generator, Enrico went to the entrance of the clinic, the door full of bullet holes was a reminder of what could happen again. Looking around, he decided to use the front desk as a lock to prevent others from easily getting in.

"Stitches will open again".

"You’re my doctor, you’re here to take care of it!"

"You should take it easy".

"Listen, I need to make sure everything is locked up, because your life was at risk the moment you rescued me on that sidewalk. Now, stop tormenting me and get something to eat".

Enrico turned his back and went to check if the windows were still locked. 

Livia saw his back wide and couldn't help but think how well his body was toned, quickly shook his head trying to abandon those inopportune thoughts. 

"Don’t you know the magic words?".

"What the fuck is that?"

"You should said Please and Thanks"

"Stop disturbing me and give me something to eat, I’m hungry!".

Livia grunted in anger, left that place. Enrico was abusing his patience and crossing all limits, but she couldn't afford to contradict him.

She took two packets of cookies and threw them to Enrico as soon as he entered her room.

"I prefer fettuccine".

"Oh, I’m sorry! I didn’t know you were coming to dinner," she smiled.

Still in his underwear, he sat on the bed while eating the cookie. He frowned as he felt the pain, which this time was a little stronger.

"Take those pills you gave me earlier".

"Argh!" Livia frowned.

"Hey, take the same drugs! I can’t take ibuprofen".    

Disgusted, Doctor Ricci stepped hard down the hall, she went to the cabinet and smiled while taking the vial of ibuprofen. What if he had allergies? Livia gave him a smile. Maybe that little jar could help teach that guy a lesson. 

"What is that?" looked at the syringe in the doctor’s hand. " Where’s the pill?"

"Some bullets hit the medicine cabinet in the shooting." She omitted her true intention".  You throw yourself in front of a bullet and now you’re afraid of an injection?" Livia asked.  

"Don't Joke with me!"

"I'm not a joker. This remedy is applied intramuscularly, in the region of the gluteus".

"Oh, no! You won’t touch my ass".

"So stay there enjoying your pain".

Enrico smoothed the bandage on his arm, the blood wasn’t as hot as when he fought those men. At that moment, the pain was unbearable.

"Come on!" He stood up and turned his back to the doctor.

"Put it down a little more!" Livia said, and showed the syringe.

"Do you want me to be naked?"

"No, I won't. I’ve seen enough for today!"

Livia pulled the fabric of the black boxer underwear and she applied the fluid slowly and deeply to the upper outer quadrant of Enrico’s gluteus.

The man swallowed hard trying to contain his ugly face. Despite being a brave man, he always hated injections since childhood, but didn't want Livia to laugh at his weakness. 

An hour later, although the pain was relieved by medication, Enrico began to feel a small discomfort followed by itching and redness that spread throughout the body. The man scrambled on the bed, scratched his neck and then the belly. It was already beginning to bother him. Enrico sat down quietly while scratching his arms. 

Livia was reading, across the room. She saw the discomfort of her patient, but inside she boasted to see her revenge work.

"What medicine did you apply?"

"Painkiller". She hesitated.  

Turning her eyes to the book, she continued with her reading while Enrico lay down again. Slowly, he relaxed and, even with itching, fell asleep.

A few hours later, someone knocked on the door of the clinic again. Livia was frightened, she moved on the chair and looked at the sleeping mobster.

 Livia was still reading when she noticed the sound of the knocks on the door of the clinic. Frightened, she kept her ears open to what was happening outside. She looked at Enrico and saw that the gangster slept soundly. Livia was thinking of waking him up, maybe it was some rival gang member trying to attack him. She stood up,  her heart was fluttering in her chest, the sound of the knocks on the door was louder.
