I beat that guy up in two minutes tops and by the end he was probably on the verge of dying. "What were you doing here huh? Tryna rob me or kidnap my daughter or something?" 
" no, please, I wasn't gonna hurt you! I was sent by someone"
" who was it?" I'm so curious who's tryna get into my house.
" I can't tell you"  I raise my fist and he flinches
" no wait! Fine! He's a leader of some gang around here, they're called the devils hand!"
" and his name is??" Just get to the point dude.
" his- his name is mr. Olsen"
" oh yeah I'm totally gonna know who that is from his last name!"
He sighs, boy this dude gon get the worst of me if he don't open his stupid mouth.
" his name is Ajax Olsen"
"Ajax Olsen?" 
It can't be the Ajax I met today, can it?
" what is he tall around 5'11, dirty blonde hair, caramel eyes, broad shoulders?" I stare into this guys soul, please tell me it isn't.
"Uhm yes it is. How do you know?"
"Are you shitting me rn, I know him."
"Is it that guy that was at the bookstore?"
"Shut your mouth for a minute mason."
What the hell do I do now?
"What does he want?"
" he wanted me to asses the inside of the house, and I told him I don't know how to do that but he told me if I don't he'd kill me."
I don't know what to do.
I know what it's like to be stuck in a gang but I've never dealt with it head on like this.
"Mason"
" uh yeah?"
" weren't you a part of some mafia? Can't you help?"
" I mean I can, I'm still part of the mafia, I'm the fucking leader eve why wouldn't I be a part of it anymore?"
"I don't know, chill, I was jus asking"
Ok so time to make a great plan.
"Uhm sir what's your name?"
" it's Harvey Denver, pleasure to meet you I guess?"
"The pleasures all mine mr. Denver. So, do you have any way to stay away from the gang for a few days?"
" I mean yeah no one knows where I live and I'm only an assistant so I'm not well known."
" great! Mr. Mason over here will keep a few guards at your house to protect you, I promise you'll be fine and out of the gang soon!"
"Really?! Oh miss, you are an angel! My wife and daughter are my only loves on this earth and I never wanted to be a part of this gang, it was only because we were short on money that I had to join and you don't know how many years ago that was."
"Oh mr. Denvers, please it's no big deal! Here let me clean your wounds and you can go home!"
I took mr. Denvers inside the house and called angie and told her to keep lily at her house for a couple hours, she has her own kids so she'll have some fun. I cleaned poor mr. Denvers wounds and Mateo decided that he owns the house and starting watching tv on the sofa, he even made popcorn for himself. I roll my eyes, I'm at a loss for words, I haven't seen him in years and suddenly all the things I wanted to say at him I haven't even had a chance to say yet. Mr. Denvers leaves and I let him know that the guards will be at his home in a bit, Mason had called them while We were going inside. I turn to the sofa, grab the remote, and turn the tv off.
"Heyy!! I was watching that!"
"Get your ass up! i need to bandage and clean your wounds. Your even worse than mr. Denvers!"
"Im fine" he says coldly
Now what happened? Did he just suddenly remember he hates me or something?
"Yeah I totally believe that, GET UP!"
" I SAID IM FINE EVE!"
I'm done, we aren't gonna start yelling.
I grab the first aid box and sit beside him on the sofa.
"What are you doing"
My attention was just on the tv but I was unpacking the kit.
"I'm doing what I want, you don't get to be stubborn"
"Eve I said I'm fi-"
"Shut the fuck up"
He was sitting at an angle so I was able to easily clean most of his injuries but one of them I couldn't get at a proper angle to clean and Mason wouldn't move his head from the tv.
" Mason look here"
"No I'm watching"
"I- Mason!"
"No"
"Fine"
I knew this was a bad idea but I wasn't letting him leave this house with injuries that haven't been tended too. I get up and straddle him, sitting on his lap, and then I return to cleaning his wounds.
" eve- i- what are you doing"
"Finding ways around your attitude is what I'm doing."
