Return of the Doctor [Arknights]

[Cigarette]

"Patriarch, Texas Family members are here now."

A huge Lupo in tight suspenders and suit under, tells the breaded Doctor on the throne. The Patriarch let a chuckle and snaps his fingers. Gesturing to open the doors. Both door opens up and the members of Texas Family slowly walk in. The seemingly head of the family look confused by the Doctor sitting in front of them instead of someone else.

"Where is Antonio and who are you?"

The Doctor glare down at the old man and the gangsters around the family loaded their weapons at them. Ready to fire their shots, if Y/N allowed them.

"Antonio is taking a break." The Patriarch gesture the guns away and look eye contact to the black sheep of the family.

"I thought Texas Family does not take stray dogs in." The white-haired Lupo growled at him, but stops by the hand of orange-red eyed Lupo girl.

"And she must be your granddaughter."

Y/N look back to the leader of the family and the old man nodded quickly. The grandfather could guess the Doctor is a dangerous man and need to get to his good side.

"Yes, Texas is her name and we only took the other in because her abilities."

"Your granddaughter burden by the family name forever I see... Well, nice meet you and your family. Please check out with Angelo, so he can give you the plan to coming months."

"Why?"

The Patriarch smile and let another chuckle out to their confused.

"A storm is coming."

The Doctor begins to walk to the other room and the Texas Family starts walking out. However, the girl named Texas asks the Patriarch about something.

"Wait. Who are you? You never answered that question."

"Your new boss kiddo."

He lit a cigarette and disappeared into the other room. Texas narrowed her eyes to where he walk to and look to her friend. Both share a look and the grandfather look worried at them. Afraid they will do something dumb.

THUD

The sounds of a body fell down on the ground with blood running out of the head. A subordinate with a pillow and towel walk over to the Doctor and the Patriarch takes the towel.

Cleaning the blood stain on his face and put both the towel and the gun on the small pillow. The subordinate steps back, giving enough space for the Doctor to walk past him in the shallow alley.

The light poles flicker in the dark, so it is impossible to tell who's body is shot to death. The tie around Y/N's neck blew a bit and he stops his steps.

He look around, but did it see anything ordinary. He shake his head and snaps his fingers three times. Signaling the fellow gangsters to walk away.

As the men walk to the cars. Y/N breathe out as the air starts getting colder. The ground under him starts freeze with ice and sounds of struggling is heard behind a few dumpsters.

He stops the ice growing more and steps towards the bunch of dumpsters and with a kick. The dumpsters fell down and shows Texas and the white-haired Lupo.

"Texas dear."

The breaded Mafia knee down and touch the ice around her and the other. Melting both out of the ice.

"And you too dog." He put his hand over their heads. Petting them like small babies. The white girl bites his hand, but it did not go through his glove. Texas's grew widened by her friend behavior and stops her.

"Lappland stop!"

"Nom! Nom! Nom!"

The Patriarch smiled and remembered a certain little girl tried to eat his hand too. "Lappland your name is huh? A true dog then." He flicks Lappland's forehead and stands up again.

Lappland rubs her forehead in annoyance and Texas look up to man in front of them, as he light a cigarette.

"Who are you really?"

"A friend to some. An enemy to others. What am I to you?"

He blows the air and the ice around completely melts away. Texas thought about his question for a moment and look to Lappland trying to catch her tail.

"A friend," Texas answers with a smile to the Mafia boss. The light poles flicker out completely and everything slowly disappear into darkness. Only the cigarette lights the alley.
