Michael went upstairs to his room to make true to his end of the deal. Avery's scent wafted into his lungs, soothing his grazing nerves. Sitting on his desk, he pulled the telephone closer and punched in the hospital number. On know who he was, the flabbergasted receptionist referred him to the head physician.

On connecting, he stated his business in a formal tone, saying who he was and why he called, of course, excluding details of his deal with Avery. A bank account was sent to his mail, to which he responded in tow.

He went down to the kitchen to inform Avery the deal was done. She released a sigh, but the calmness flew out the window immediately it set in, when she was hell bent on going to the hospital to be with her mother.

Michael held her back and convinced her to , at least, change into something more lady-like, if she didn't want people asking questions. He coaxed her into having breakfast, unwilling to let her leave on empty stomach. It was eleven a.m. with grey clou

    "Can we not go out in your car?" Avery shifted on her feet, her hands parked into the front pouch of the grey hoodie she was wearing. She was afraid of being spotted in public with Michael, after his fake engagement with Nicki that half of Empire City probably knew about now. "I have a very bad idea about this." Despite herself, she could not stop gawking at Michael's luxury home. He has a good taste for the good things of life. The villa was furnished to first class standard, shimmering with modernity and high tech electronics. His garage was another wonder in itself. Wider than her father's bungalow, it housed a row of exotic cars that could embarrass the Mayor's entourage. The striking thing about him was that the cars where all painted in black. From the Boxster Convertible to a sleek Lamborghini Aventador to the Toyota Urban Cruiser. Her mouth rounded in awe when her eyes settled on a black shiny car behind the SUV. Sweet Mary... Is that a Grand Tourer?! She knew Michael wa

    Three years... Three agonizing years of waiting and watching her mother on the hospital bed, fighting for her life. She'd prayed, cried, and kissed the rosary on her neck more times than she could count. It was her mother's gift to her, a potent charm she'd held unto for most part of her life. When a year passed with no obvious progress, she kissed the rosary and returned it to her mother's neck. Hopefully, a miracle would bring her back someday. Today happened to be the day. "Mom?" Avery stiffened, staring at her mother's pale face, jade oasis beaming under the fluorescent light, reflecting life and home . "You're awake?" Avery was stunned all right, but that Michael and Dr Tancredi both had a look of bewilderment on their faces. Brows creased, Michael observed the touching scene play out, as Dr Tancredi skirted past him to Dianne's side, plugging the earpiece of her stethoscope to her ears. "Are you alright, Mrs Sallow? Can you hear me? Do you feel pains in any part of

    "What's up, Pedro?" Michael asked, sitting on a bench in the corridor, tapping his foot agaisnt the tiled floor. The nauseating smell of antiseptics and tablets filled his nose. He scrunched his nose, willing his mind to veer away from the thought of puking on the hospital floor. "Is Beatrice going into labor?"Pedro grunted, and Michael chuckled. He could imagine Pedro rolling his eyes from the other end of the line. "Fuck, no. She's barely into her third trimester. You'll understand better when you have a wife to worry about.""There you go again," It was Michael's turn to groan. Pedro had always wanted him to get married, but he was not ready to commit himself to some special woman. As long as Khalid was on the loose, a woman in his life would be a distraction. "I know this is not a social call, so what's up?" he asked, diverting from the topic.Pedro was not the sociable type. He'd rather send a text than put a call across. He didn't want any part of their conversation fleeting in

    They stepped out of the ward to the waiting area. Families and friends dotted the area, representing one patient in the hospital. Due to the state of things, the front row benches were jammed with people. Michael, being the charmer that he was, found a spot for them beside an old lady, facing the parking area. She spotted his bike in no time where he parked it in the morning.The hospital was as busy as it was in the morning, with nurses and doctors going about their businesses in a haste.It was dark already outside, as street lamps and car lights illuminated the busy road yards away from the hospital. The moon hung behind a cushion of grey clouds, serenaded by a host of twinkling stars, adding a milky sheen to the alluring night life of Empire City. If it were another time, Avery would have admired the beauty. In spite of Michael's constant assurance, Avery could barely hold it together. She was either mumbling to herself or biting her fingernails. Her side was glued to Michael's a

    "What?" Avery and Michael chorused. "How did they get to know?"Pedro sat up straighter. "Be careful what you upload on the Internet. Stalkers and haters are everywhere, and the both of you seem to have them in abundance." He called the waiter to come to the table. "I'm so hungry. I've not had a decent meal in ages.""You've not answered my question," Michael groaned. "How did they know we were in Lighthouse Hospital?"The waiter, an average height brunette with a jotter came to their table, grinning from ear to ear. She scowled at Avery for having two handsome men to herself. "How many I be of service to you, sir?" she slurred.The waitress bent to her waist, retouching the lace of her sneakers. Pedro hissed, rolling his eyes. He sent Michael a knowing look to which the latter replied with a tired shake of his head. He didn't know if it was the sudden news of Nicki and Shawn at Lighthouse Hospital that got him pissed as hell, or the dumb waitress who didn't know she was intruding. T

    Pedro's house is what you would describe as simple and cozy. Surrounded by a white picket fence and a garden on both sides of the walkway, the bungalow resembled a humble abode curled out from the countryside. Light poured from the porch, illuminating the step and the door. Being a gentleman, Pedro opened the door and ushered her into his house."Babe, are you home?" Pedro called from the foyer, as he pulled his shoes, dragging his suitcase with him. Avery got rid of her sneakers and followed Pedro into a warm living room filled the aroma of curry and fried chicken. A glass center table stood in the middle of the main area, surrounded by a collection of black leather cushions. The TV was on; but not too loud. The host was talking about some natural disaster happening in the Middle East. "I'm in the kitchen!" That would be Pedro's wife."Babe, meet Avery, Michael's..." Pedro zoned out, unsure of the right term to describe her and Michael's relationship."Secretary," she waved at the

    "Nooo!" Avery jerked with a start, covered in a reservoir of sweat. The top of her plain tee was soaking wet, despite the cool weather. It was raining cats and dogs, the stone drops pelting down in torrents. It took her a while to recall where she was. Lighthouse Hospital... the Italian restaurant... Pedro... Nicki and Shawn... Pedro's house. She was sleeping in the guest room, until a bloody nightmare ruined her sleep, scaring the shit out of her."Michael!" Her chest heaved, rising and falling at a fast pace. It was pitch black outside. Thunder clapped, ripping through the rain drops followed by a sheet of lighting highlighting the naked street. Taking her mind away from the rain, she spotted the bedside clock on the nightstand, ticking rhythmically. 2. a. m.The first thing that came to her mind was to call Michael. Her hands and lips trembled, like a junkie needing a fix. She rolled the quilt aside and moved to the edge of the bed, turning on the lampshade to find her bearing

    Eight hours ago...Michael stepped out of the Italian restaurant. Above him was a bed of heavy grey clouds, floating with a promise of a heavy downpour. Taking in a long pull of the fresh air, he sauntered to his bobber. The air was cooler, compared to the compressed one inside the restaurant. The restaurant would get a one star review from him. They were misinformed that they were coming to a brothel. Though, Michael would never pass off a good opportunity to release some fluid, Clara rubbed off on him the wrong way. Bad customer service. Repulsive attendant behavior. Dirty party tricks... It officially marked the end of his visit to the restaurant.Dismissing his anger, he returned to the distress at hand."How do I get in undetected?" The mission may appear simple to an ignorant spectator- confirm Dianne is safe. What skipped their mind was that there was neither a simple or difficult mission. Anything could go wrong at any fucking time, which meant roughly fifteen year minimum

    Michael curled the gown up to her waist, exposing her dripping pussy to the coolness in the room. Her pussy was bare before him, wet with need and a deep penetration. He made her cum several times in the hospital, hitting her sweet candy till she became lightheaded, like a junkie in his own paradise, basking in a sky of rainbows and sunshine.However, Avery felt she was being selfish with her needs. Michael needed all the rest he could get. His body was still repairing itself from the damage it had accumulated."Michael," she began, "I think we should-" Avery gripped the sheets for support, as the tip of his tongue passed over her soaked front. Heaven collided with earth, sparking a colourful hue at the back of her head. The euphoria it brought slammed her against her will, her tongue plastered to the roof of her mouth.He swatted her ass with one hand, introducing his middle finger into her pussy, sliding it at a painstakingly slow temper that got her reeling for orgasm.

    At first glance, Avery burst into tears. Michael's face was swollen, and his left eye was bandaged. His house was magnificent alright, but Michael's grave condition didn't give her luxury of time to admire the beautiful patterns of the mansion. He blended modern and classical art into one, donning the corners with ornate indoor plants in vases of varying sizes.The cushions matched the curtains, and the walls of each room were painted white, save the elongated kitchen in a soft green hue, decked with all kinds of equipment for any recipe of choice.He slept noiselessly on his king-size bed, twitching at some point, but that was all about it. Days ticked slowly by, until a week passed on them. Pedro and Belinda force her to take a break after the third day. She hadn't slept well, and honestly her stomach could use a nice meal.Her mother called on one of those days- she could not recall which day it was- to check up on her.

    Two nights ago...A cold wind breezed into the ward from the open window. Avery brought her knees to her chest, lying on the hospital bed, rubbing her shoulder with her arms. Tossing her hand to the side, she was met with an empty bed. His side of the bed felt cold and unused, as if he never slept in it.Sitting up, she winced at the slight ache coming from her lady parts. Michael was almost gentle on her, being her first time. He dominated her, and yet gave her time to get used to him. He was simultaneously rough and smooth, teaching her how to bend to his lead, at the same time, deriving peak pleasure. Despite herself, her body wanted more of his violent caresses. He made her squirt uncontrollably, muffling her moans with his lips...and huge dick. Thinking about him alone made pooled water between the thighs. She closed her legs, shoving the need to the back of her head, as she focused her mind on finding Michael's.Forcing her eyes open, she sat up with a frown registered on her

    Michael woke with a startle, chasing his breath. He had a nightmare. In the dream, Khalid had Avery in a headlock with a gun pressed to her head. He ordered him to stand down if he wanted Avery alive. He dropped the gun to the ground and raised his hands in surrender. But Khalid, being the devil that he was, shot Avery in the head and made him watch her fall to the ground."Avery!" He yelled, panting profusely. He was alone in a brightly lit room. Aside the rhythmic pulse of a heartbeat monitor, coupled with the pacing of his heart, the room was pin drop silent. It took him a while to get used to his environment. The Underground.Sitting on a hospital bed with IV tubes passed into his hands, he disconnect them from his body, and rolled out of bed. His legs buckled, making him crash to the ground, with some tools clattering to the ground. Sordid pain wracked through his body, but he would not be deterred. He had to see Avery to be sure she was okay.The door opened almost immediately.

    Wham!"Make him pay for what he did to your brother!" Yoshiro fueled the big guy, urging him to pummel Michael more. "Hit him harder!"The big guy went berserk. He removed his suit and rolled up his sleeves. His torso was fully tattooed to the neck. He wore a suspense belt above the sky blue dress shirt soaking with stinking perspiration. "Is it a crime to take a shower?" Despite himself, Michael scrunched his nose, as the smell grew pungent. "If your punch doesn't kill me, your stench will."The big guy yelled as another swing connected to his Michael's face, tearing his left brow. He spat on Michael and rolled up his left sleeves. "Fuck!" Michael grunted. "You could have said you don't want my advice. I could have saved it for someone else."The racking sound of bone smashing bone filled the air. Zip-cuffed to a metal arm chair, Michael doubled over, spitting and coughing out blood, his hands fisted. He was right about the big guy. Unfortunately, one of the guards Michael killed

    Michael and Pedro crawled into the warehouse unheard...or so they thought.Hiding behind a row of old stacked sacks, they squatted with the rifles in hand, ready for assault. Michael scanned the surrounding. They were relatively hidden, as the halogen lamps above them were not working, covered in cobwebs."Have you connect into their server?" Michael asked, scanning the area with the gun raised. Pedro's fingers tapped away at the screen. "I'm in, baby," he grinned, wiggling a brow. "Pedro did this one." Michael rolled his eyes. "Be serious, Man. You're in the field now, not in the base."Pedro snorted. "Always uptight. Can't you take a jo-"Michael raised his pointer to his lips, shutting him up as Khalid's voice filtered into their ears, gruff as they remembered. Michael's jaw ticked, his finger firm on the trigger. "Not to say I don't trust you, but I have to know if those diamonds are real," Khalid said, whipping his nose with his thumb, as his manner was. On a Safari hat, he wa

    "Pull up here," Michael instructed, wearing the nose mask. "We can't go too close, or we'll blow our cover.""Understood." Pedro killed the engine. They had a three yard distance to cover to the warehouse. "We will be needing a gun?"Michael halted. He bit back the rude remark simmering in his chest. "Are you asking me that now? What do you think we're here for? Take pictures of the ?"Pedro pulled up by the shoulder of the road and killed the engine. "I'm scared, okay. I'm freaking the fuck out.""Told yah!" Michael shrugged. Pedro touched him in the arm. "I'm serious, man. You're not helping."Michael laughed. "You'll pull through. Have a little bit of faith, and a little bit of fear."Pedro exhaled slowly. "This is my first rodeo. I- I don't know what to do." He raked his hands through his hair. "Any kind words?"Michael released a breath. He was short on time with the mission. The longer he spent motivating Pedro, the slimmer his chances of nabbing the Khalid. Drug dealers wasted

    "How're you feeling?"Pedro asked Michael, passing him a coffee foil cup.Michael collected it from him. "Much better than before." He sat beside him in the reception. The number of people in the hall had reduced by half. He counted ten of them, including himself, Pedro, and the receptionist behind the desk. He left Avery to sleep in the ward and came down to meet Pedro. Belinda had returned to the restaurant, and Zephyr was keeping guard of the hospital with some trusted hands. The only person absent was Dianne. His pulse picked up a pace. "Where's Dianne?" he asked Pedro."Sleeping in her ward." he replied. "Don't worry about her. I asked Zephyr to watch over her. She's fine. "The tension melted from his shoulders. He took a sip, welcoming the warmth flushing down his parched throat. Latte. Just what he'd been looking for. "How did you know I'll be needing this?"Pedro release a breath. "Because I'm a genius?" "Because you're a genius." Michael cackled. "You know me too much."Pe
