Chapter Fourteen
Wraith
It’s not doubt that the motherfuckers who shot Grey Eyes were working for Valentino’s son. They ended up drawing the attention of the police which caused some students to be arrested for hosting an illegal race. I kind of feel bad for Zachery because now he may not have a future.
I’m currently in the waiting room at the hospital, waiting for them to allow me in his room to see him.
I was fuming at first but this little time away from Grey Eyes has calmed me down, has let me become rational because I wanted to go find Jamie and torture him all the way to hell for messing with what’s mine and trying to kill me.
“Hey, how is he?” Frani asks, bringing me out of my thoughts.
I shrug.
“I’ve been kicked out here while they work on him.” I reply. “But they removed the bullet from his body successfully.”
“That’s good, that’s good.” Frani nods.
She walks behind me and sits down.
“So, when are you going to confess your feelings for him?” she asks.
“What?” I ask, turning to look at her.
“You’ve been obsessed with this man since the school year started.” She said. “And even though we’re not blood related you’re still my brother and I know my brother... you like him... a lot.”
She crosses her legs as she looks at me and chews on her peanuts, peanuts I didn’t know she had.
“You don’t know what you’re talking about.” I grumble, sitting forward once again.
“Well I mean if you wanted him as one of your little bitches you would have fucked him already but you haven’t yet.” She says.
I look at her.
“So you know my fuck schedule?” I ask.
“Dude it’s obvious when you’ve had a fuck.” She chuckles. “Especially when you bring the boys home, you pick some noisy bottoms.”
She then laughs as if she made a hilarious joke.
“I don’t see nothing funny.” I grunt.
“And you need a fuck.” She adds.
I flip her off.
“See!” she chuckles.
Fritzi enters the waiting room at the same time as the doctor.
“Hello Wraith.” Doctor Kim said. “You are now allowed to visit your boyfriend in his room, as you know we removed the bullet successfully and we were able to stitch him back up perfectly.”
I get accusatory looks from Frani and Fritzi I restrain myself from telling them to fuck off.
“Okay thanks doctor.” I said. “And will he be able to go home tonight?”
“No, we still need to keep an eye on him for the next two to three days and then we can discharge if everything is normal.” Doctor Kim responds.
“Okay, thanks again.” I smile.
She smiles at me, my sister, and cousin before exiting the waiting room with me on her heels, heading straight toward Wraith’s room.
“My cousin is finally settling down!?” I hear Fritzi say teasingly. “Congrats man!”
“Shut the fuck up Fritzi.” I growl.
When I brought Grey Eyes here he told the doctors I was his very sexy, very hot boyfriend that he loved with his whole heart so the doctors approach me as his spouse.
I didn’t think to correct the mistake because I was more focused on trying to get him help.
It just slipped out of his mouth because he was very much still drunk.
Before operating on him they cleaned his system too, which was a relief.
I get to Grey Eyes’ room and see him laying in his bed sleep.
My dark angle flutters his wings when I see him, peacefully sleep.
He wants to claim him as his but even I know that’s far from happening.
My phone vibrates in my pocket and I pull it out.
It’s a notification from the camera I set up in Grey Eyes’ room.
I pull up the app and see a strange guy in his bedroom.
He’s cautious of his actions, I can tell by the way he’s moving.
“Whose bedroom is that?” Fritzi asks as he peers over my shoulder.
I ignore his question as I watch the man look around the room.
I hid the camera good so you won’t be able to see it unless you tear the room up, which he isn’t doing, therefore he isn’t aware of me watching him.
I screen record the footage as I watch him prepare what looks like a bomb and he’s setting it up in a way that if anyone steps into Grey Eyes’ room it’ll trigger the bomb. Fuck!
“This is Grey Eyes’—Harshal’s room.” I said. “He has a roommate and she may—”
“Trigger that motherfucker.” Fritzi finishes for me. “I can go find her and distract her from going to the apartment while Frani goes to disarm the bomb and possibly kill that asshat.”
The guy turns and I see a symbol on his shirt. I zoom in and read the name underneath the symbol.
“Isn’t that the symbol for that Spanish gang here?” Frani asks.
“Damn straight.” I confirm. “They’re after Gre—Harshal because he got in their business when he was trying to help someone and I think I may have to send them a message.”
I look Frani directly in her eyes.
“Kill this fucker and cut his head off and give it to me.” I demand.
She nods.
“Got it.”
She then exits the room. I look at Fritzi.
“What’s his roommates name and what does she look like?” he asks.
Exiting the live footage I rummage through other recordings I have of his room and find one where she’s talking to him on his bed.
“Her name is Brunelle.” I state. “Keep her safe.”
“Got it.” He says, heading for the door. His hand is on the doorknob when he stops and turns to face me. “Wait why do you have a camera in his room?”
“Just go.” I growl.
Fritzi just gives me a wide grin before leaving the room to do what I asked him.
I sit in the guest chair and just watch Grey Eyes sleep peacefully.
I then use my phone to hack into the city’s cameras.
I watch Frani and Fritzi go their separate ways and watching them makes me realize something, something I hope won’t have to be but if it does I guess I’ll be prepared.
My right hand finds its way on the bed and finds his hand.
I lace our fingers together and subconsciously kiss his hand.
After making sure my family is fine I look at Grey Eyes before getting up and exiting the room.
Heading for the gift shop I pass the entrance of the hospital.
I already don’t feel comfortable leaving Grey Eyes alone in his room unconscious and seeing a man dressed in all black enter the hospital doesn’t help ease my worry.
He’s Hispanic and looks like he means business as his eyes search the place.
I blend in with the people around me as I watch him approach the front desk.
I wish I could hear what he and the receptionist is saying but unfortunately, I’m too far away to hear their conversation.
Nothing seems out of place so I shrug it off and continue to head to the gift shop.
I’m welcomed in by the staff when I enter and head straight for the flowers.
Searching through the various flowers I spot blue roses and pick them up.
I then head to the plushies and search through them.
I find a mini teddy bear and grab it before heading to the register to pay for my items. I also slip in some candy for myself too.
As I exit the gift shop with my items I notice the guy has left the front desk.
Walking back and entering Grey Eyes’ room I see him stirring.
He’s frowning in his sleep and I smile. He must be dreaming and he looks adorable.
I have no doubt he’s dreaming about me because that adorable little frown on his face looks so familiar, especially when I mess with him in math class.
I sit the roses on the nightstand and the teddy bear against them.
Leaning over him I kiss his forehead before sitting down in the visitors chair.
“Keep dreaming about me, Grey Eyes.” I smirk.
As if he could hear me he hums before shifting to lay on his side.
I then notice someone walk past the door.
Sitting up straighter I look at the door for a long moment but nothing out of ordinary happens.
Pulling my phone out my pocket I check on Frani.
The room is a mess and I think I hear banging and clanking coming from another room.
I hear her grunt and a loud slap follows.
Is she fighting the son of a bitch?! Looking up I see the man I saw at the front desk standing in the room, looking directly at Grey Eyes with a gun pointed at his head. He looks at me and says,
“Boss said he sends his regards; it’s a shame he had to die so young.”
I’m up and out my seat in a flash, standing in front of Grey Eyes so the bullet would hit me instead.
“And who is your boss?” I ask.
“I’m not allowed to give you that information. But he did say if anyone stands in my way to kill them too.” He responds. “I’m sure he’d be pleased to hear that you’re dead as well.”
I snort. “Fucker.”
Doing a high kick I knock the gun out of his hand and tackle him to the ground.
I hear the gun clatter to the floor and it fires.
Straddling the man I punch him multiple times.
He blocks some of my blows but most of them land to my liking.
With one hand he goes to grab something but I catch his arm and twist. The sweet sound of bones cracking echoes in the room and it sounds like classical music to my ears.
The man shouts in pain as I hold his now broken arm in an abnormal position.
I reach into my pocket and grab my pocketknife.
Flicking the blade out I bring it to his finger.
“I’m only going to ask one more time.” I threaten. “Who is your boss?”
“That’s... classified.” He strains through tears.
Snapping his finger, making it loose and floppy I begin to cut it off.
He tries to fight me and snatch his hand back but I kick him in the head before putting my knee in his mouth, to muffle his annoying shouts and cries.
I hear his jaw pop as it tries to accommodate my knee in his mouth and he bucks on the floor until I fully cut his finger off.
Grey Eyes stirs in the bed before yawning and sitting up.
“What all that noise?” he asks.
