always never safe

Helping Mr Gang Leader .Chapter 69: always never safe .The rest of the morning brought more well wishes and happy comments from patients, an easy flow of unrushed patients, and steady routine.During lunch Gianna holed up in her office and called Dante, eager to hear his voice and talk about even the most mundane things.“I miss you,” Dante said, and before she realized what she was doing, Gianna was whispering it back as fiercely as she could.They’d seen each other earlier that morning, Gianna waking up sore in the best way, and Dante wrapping around her like an octopus with a vow never to let ago. They’d changed the sheets on the bed together, enjoyed coffee, and kissed so much that Gianna’s lips had gotten puffy and red.It had been perfect, especially in a world that had so little perfection in it.And Gianna almost regretted telling Dante she wasn’t in love with him yet. Because there’d been nothing but love in her chest for Dante who’d stroked her hair back from her forehe

Helping Mr Gang Leader .Chapter 70: directly into the lion’s den .Walking through the clinic felt like walking to the gallows. Nurses and patients stopped to wave and greet him, all of them with smiling faces, and Gianna grinned back out of sheer willpower alone. But it felt fake and hollow and her balance was such that she worried she’d tip over, or her legs would give out.But there was a show to put on as Stetson bumped and prodded her along, and Gianna understood the consequences for failing to be convincing.She was almost to the front door, almost to the point of no return, when she saw Angelo coming through the door, the last bits of his lunch in a white bag hanging from his fingers.“Gianna?” Angelo asked, clearly not expecting to see her. “Where are you going?”Gianna felt Stetson’s impossibly large presence behind her and redirected the conversation, asking, “A little late getting back from lunch?”Angelo looked at her sheepishly. “Sorry. Traffic was bad. I’ll stay a lit

Helping Mr. Gang Leader /K.B

Helping Mr. Gang Leader .Chapter 71: time is ticking.. tic toc .Clyde turned his full attention to Gianna and brought a hand up to cup her face. It was nothing, absolutely nothing, like the way that Dante touched her. And as Clyde’s fingers traced over her features, a calculating look on his face, Gianna began to feel more and more ill.“I want you to know,” Clyde said finally, “that I think you’re very, very pretty. For a doctor, you’re about as pretty as they come.”Gianna tried to hold her ground.“And,” Clyde continued, “I happen to appreciate pretty things.”Stetson made an irritated sound and ambled off down the hall.“I don’t …” Gianna tried.“I’m going to let you in this room in a second,” Clyde said, leaning forward toward her in a far too intimate way. He was so close to Gianna they were nearly on top of each other, Clyde’s mouth a ghost of a breath away from being on Gianna’s. “And if you do anything wrong, I’m going to make you substantially less pretty.”“Wrong?” Gia

a threat is a threat

Helping Mr. Gang Leader /K.B

Helping Mr. Gang Leader .Chapter 72: a threat is a threat .Taking a strong, reassuring breath, Gianna rallied herself to action, rolling up the sleeves on her shirt and turning to Clyde to ask, “Who spends the most time with Maddox?”Clyde and Hagrid looked between themselves, probably more surprised at her assertiveness than anything else.But then Clyde shrugged and asked, “Why? It’s probably me.”Gianna leaned back over Maddox to start her examination.She could see immediately why the doctor who’d treated him previously had suspected a simple cold, or even the flu. Maddox had an elevated temperature, was clearly shivering despite his fever, and was much paler than any human looked when they were healthy.“How long has he been like this?”Maddox crossed his arms and stepped nearer, thinking aloud, “He started complaining of a headache about three weeks ago. Then it was stiffness in his body about five or six days after that. At least that’s what he said.”Carefully, Gianna pull

better than any kind of violent reaction

Helping Mr. Gang Leader /K.B

Helping Mr. Gang Leader .Chapter 73: better than any kind of violent reaction. Maddox said, “So you’re the doctor I hear so much about all the time.”“And,” Gianna offered back bravely, “you’re the gang leader who threatens my clinic from time to time.”Maddox’s face was blank for a moment, making Gianna fearful, but then he was laughing in a harsh way, something that turned into a deep cough.It seemed, at least a little, like the tension in the room was broken, and for that Gianna was thankful.“Clyde said you’ve had a headache for a while? And some stiffness?”Maddox gave a dry swallow, shifting a little in the blankets that cocooned him, then clarified, “In my neck.”Gianna froze. “Did you say in your neck?”Confused, Maddox nodded. “Sometimes my back, too.”Gianna felt a sliver of hope. “Can you tell me if you know of any recent rashes on your body? If not, can you give me permission to check?”Maddox asked, “You want to take my clothes off?”Hagrid interjected, “Boss, don’t

nothing to lose

Helping Mr. Gang Leader /K.B

Helping Mr. Gang Leader .Chapter 74: nothing to lose .“What are we doing here?”Stetson ignored her, which Gianna guessed was better than any kind of violent reaction, like Clyde or Hagrid might have given.There were tons of men cluttered around the garage, some of them talking to each other, but most of them standing tensely.Something was happening.“In,” Stetson gestured to a nearby car.The backseat was empty when Gianna climbed in, and Stetson came in after her, shutting the door firmly and gesturing for the driver to start the car.“We’re going to Mercy West,” Stetson said finally when the car drove forward a bit, one more in front and one behind. “Maddox will meet us there. You’ll perform the test, administer the treatment, and you won’t say anything unnecessary to anyone.”Gianna looked at him a little flabbergasted, mouth hanging open. “Did you just … have you commandeered a hospital?”Stetson snorted. “No. of course not.”Probably even Infinite couldn’t take over a hosp

violent way of saying I love you

Helping Mr. Gang Leader /K.B

Helping Mr. Gang Leader .Chapter 75: violent way of saying I love you .They were zipping away without warning after that, cutting down narrow streets, taking corners too fast, and putting a real distance between themselves and Infinite.Gianna had no clue where they were by the time the driver of the motorcycle was pulling into an abandoned looking warehouse. But her heart had calmed significantly, and she was less scared even as the heavy door came down behind them in the well-lit area and several more boys were spotted standing around.With weak legs Gianna got off the bike and looked between the half dozen men in front of her.The motorcyclist turned off his bike, popped off his helmet revealing a face Gianna didn’t recognize, and asked one of the other men in the room, “Everything go okay? When I got the doctor out of there, things were getting pretty dicey.”Gianna looked immediately to him. “You know who I am?” Gianna shook her head. “What’s going on?”One of the men, looki

necks on the line for her

Helping Mr. Gang Leader .Chapter 76: necks on the line for her . “I should go back and put a bullet in his head for this.”Gianna had to laugh a little. “It’s not so bad. Trust me, I’ve had worse. Not a lot, but worse.”Finally, Rio’s fingers went down to her chest, tapping just as gently over her beating heart. “And this?”.“Just fine,” Gianna assured. She toed off her other shoe. “And I don’t think you understand why they took me. It wasn’t about Mariposa at all.”“Not about Mariposa?” Rio demanded.“No.” Gianna shook her head. “They took me because they needed a doctor and apparently my reputation is just a little too good.”“A doctor for what?”.It felt like she knew confidential information. It felt like what she was going to tell Rio was something that would change the game irrevocably.At a near whisper, despite them being the only people in the room, Gianna told him, “For Maddox. For Infinite’s leader.”Rio looked shell shocked. “He’s hurt?”.“Sick” Gianna corrected. “I th

team work makes the dream work

Helping Mr. Gang Leader /K.B

Helping Mr. Gang Leader .Chapter 77: team work makes the dream work . By six in the morning, with the whole of Mariposa’s most important members congregated in the safe house’s living room, things were already spectacularly chaotic.“I’ve got coffee,” Ezekiel announced, he and Jovani being the last to arrive. “And Jovi has food.”Gianna wasn’t one to shy away from breakfast, but her stomach was still all twisted up from the previous day’s events, and mostly she was enjoying the comfortable sofa she was sitting on, Giovanni’s head in her lap in a sleepy way. Gianna’s fingers drifted through his hair lazily as Dante paced in the background talking on his phone, and Rio talked quietly but urgently to Sal.“Coffee?” Rio’s head popped up, veering away from Sal. He made grabby hands that made for an adorable sight. “I want coffee.”Ezekiel bypassed him completely with a devilish grin that was completely deliberate, and handed a tall cup to Gianna, asking, “How do you like your coffee?”

life is a kaleidoscope

Helping Mr. Gang Leader /K.B

Helping Mr. Gang Leader .Chapter 78: life is a kaleidoscope.Rio reached for the tablet and moved the map over to the adjacent area from where Infinite bordered the cobras. He explained, “This is the dragons territory. Infinite has never really had a problem with the cobras, to the best of our knowledge. They’re not friends, and they’re certainly not allies, but they don’t bother each other and rarely have conflicts. But the dragons is just like any other gang in this city. They’re looking to expand, and they’re looking to gain power. We just offered them a great deal they couldn’t turn down.”“That deal,” Dante said, “is simple. They align with us, and help us nose Infinite out on the tenth, and in return Mariposa gets the cobras’s territory, and the dragons gets all of Infinite’s previous holdings with one example.”Gianna let out a deep breath. “That’s …”“Ballsy,” Jovani supplied. “We know. And potentially really, really catastrophic. But hey, it’s not like we have a lot of ch
