A few hours later, Jamie's finished with her X-ray and is getting prescribed some pain medication, one hand still draped over her ribs.

"Take one every morning when you wake up, and one every night before you sleep." The doctor tells Jamie and she nods, getting down from the bed and straining a bit from the pain.

"Jamie!" Yasmine Davenport rushes into the room and pulls her daughter into a big hug, who grunts.

"Momma, you're hurting me." Jamie whines and Yasmine pulls back and grabs both the cheeks of her daughter, kissing her face all over.

"I'm sorry for being a grumpy bear my sweet sweet sugar bear. I love you so much and I didn't mean to yell that day so please forgive me?"

"I do forgive you." Jamie kisses her mom's cheek.

"Thank you." Yasmine says to the siblings waiting patiently in the corner and Jamie also looks at Hitter and his sister Crow mutters painfully,

"Yes. Thank you for saving me."

"Anytime." They say simultaneously and then Yasmine wraps an around Jamie and leads her out, not noticing when her daughter glances behind her and meets the gaze of a certain masked male, before looking away again and treading forward.

"What was that?" Crow, being the one who did notice asks, nudging her brother who shakes his head then makes his way into the room where his doctor friend still stands, cleaning up. "Are we back in her good graces?"

"We were never in her good graces."

"True. But still, she gave you a look."

"A look that's reminding me to stay away. She was practically planning fifty different ways to kill me when I was with her in the car. Lani." The female doctor turns and smiles.

"Hi Mr. Mask. How are you today?"

"Grazed by a bullet, but doing great!" He exclaims with fake enthusiasm while taking his jacket off and revealing the blood seeping through his shirt.

"Hitter, you didn't say anything!" Crow smacks him right where he's injured and he grunts and smacks her hand back with a glare. "You could have died standing there!"

"The blood isn't even coming out that much."

"Okay kids. Take your shirt off for me." Lani snaps her fingers and Crow reaches for her hem.

"Who me?" She smiles teasingly and Wolf cringes when Lani actually seems to consider it, yanking his off tossing it aside.

"Not you." He answers for them both, knowing that the two have flirted since the moment they met two years ago. Why they haven't pursued it is because Lani has a license she doesn't want to incriminate by being so close to...well, a criminal.

.....

"What were you thinking sugar?" Yasmine asks her daughter, who just finished telling her why she went to look for Emerson Prescott.

The mother and daughter are in the back of a Rolls Royce, cruising down the city and heading to the quieter part where Yasmine's mansion is located.
