Python

Blue's POV.

"So, are you going to tell me who tried to kill you ?"

"You mean who tried to kill us." He replied and I looked at him with a curious expression.

"What do you mean ?"

"The sniper was sent to kill the both of us."

"What ?!" My eyes widened.

"After he shot me then he would've went for you."

"So you're eating my head off about taking the bullet that was also meant for me ?" I raised my eyebrows at him.

"Do you see any bullets on me ?" He arched his.

I looked at him as the confusion settled. If the hitman was supposed to kill the both of us then, why didn't he shoot Kenny afterwards ?

"My men located and shot him after he fired the first shot." He answered the question that was in my mind.

"So you do have people following me ?" I crossed my arms expectantly.

"It's for your protection."

"I don't need bodyguards Kenny. Call them off." I retorted seriously. "I can protect myself. I can't go around knowing there unknown people following me. I just need you to respect my privacy."

"Okay." He replied simply.

"You gonna call them off ?" I asked, suprised that he didn't even put up a fight.

"Yes."

I mumbled an okay before positioning myself properly, feeling the sting of the wound on my stomach intensifying.

"Did your men kill him ?"

"No. They've kept him hostage." He brushed a loose strand behind my ear. "We found yours and my pictures in his possession, which leads us to believe, we were both his targets. He doesn't wanna speak... I guess I'll have to visit him myself."

Who would want to kill the both of us ? I mean I know Kenny stepped on a lot of toes and pissed off many people when he was establishing and building his mafia. I know I stepped on a lot of toes as Blue and pissed off a lot of people as Python. It's no suprise when someone wants to kill us, but someone who wants to kill the both of us ? at the same time ?

This person knows about our relationship. He even knows where were are. There's no doubt he doesn't know the reason for us coming to Italy. Which means he or she knows about our children. This person knows too much. We need to find out who he is.

The door opened and the Kiara and Kai got inside holding chips and biscuits. They positioned themselves on the bed with me, and seconds later the doctor also entered.

"Evening, and how are you feeling Ms Cooper ?" The middle aged blonde woman smiled.

"I. I'm fine." I replied. "When am I getting discharged ?"

"Well you might have regained consciousness but that doesn't assure you're all healed up and ready to go." She came closer writing something in her board looking at the heart monitor. "The surgery to remove the bullet was a success but you still need to recover in the hospital.

She continued looking at both Kenny and I. "We need to monitor the damage done by the bullet and run multiple tests. A gunshot wound to your abdomen may cause damage to your liver, stomach, intestines, colon or spine. We need to check for any infections and-"

"You know I just asked when I will be discharged, not a lecture." I interrupted. I was trying to stop her from mentioning all the risks and uncertainties that could've occurred. Kenny's jaw was clenched as he looked at me. I lied about knowing I'd survive this, I just didn't want him to beat himself up and blame himself for my condition.
