Little Doll

Chapter 42: Pillow action

Hmm...

2 days later

Alec

"Most patients get dizzy or faint at the sight of needles and blood, but it's not very often patients watch their own blood tests" the nurse laughed as she pressed a piece of gauze against the small needle entry point.

"This motherfucker loves feet, so he's not grossed out by anything" Leon laughed as he took another sip of water acting as if he hadn't just passed out from his own blood test.

"I have to say I'm surprised you fainted, considering your line of work, Leon" I laughed out before gritting my teeth in pain at the wound that was still very much healing.

"Oh, are you a doctor or nurse?" the nurse asked Leon as she placed the cold compress back on his forehead.

"Let's just say a unique kind of surgeon" I winked remembering back to all our years together hunting down evil people. Especially human traffickers. The fun we had operating on them.

"Oh interesting" the nurse smiled as she gathered up all her equipment.

"I-I was caught in a weak moment. Fuck off Alec, I've had literally no sleep for 4 days" Leon cursed out as he threw the damp compress at me.

Throwing it back at him, I picked up my duffel bag and pulled out my laptop and placed it on the small table.

Leon and I wouldn't be leaving the hospital any time soon, but it gave us time to prepare and plan.

Checking my phone, I smiled at the short text from Hank.

"We've landed".

My gang adored Arabella and had high tailed it over here upon my command. But I knew they wouldn't have travelled alone. Guns, ammunition, explosives and everything we needed to get Arabella out.

This rescue mission was important to all of them, but for Hank he was not sparing any chance of anything going wrong.

After losing his wife in a gang crossover, he was unstoppable when it came to crimes against innocent women.

He was exactly who we needed to save Arabella.

"Mr Cappello, the Dr Virdu has asked me to remind you that he needs to speak to you after he's finished with his medical rounds. Someone will come to collect you when he's ready to see you".

"Yeah, fine" Leon groaned as he rubbed his eyes.

Fuck. As Leon sat himself up, I felt my breath hitch in my throat at the sight of him. He certainly looked like someone who hadn't slept properly in ages, but he was looking more and more unwell.

"I'm so fucking close to self-discharging. What's the point in all these blood tests and scans. I'm fucking fine" he groaned as he ran his hand through his hair.

"They are obviously wanting to make sure you're okay. We both need to get back to our optimum levels if we want to successfully rescue Arabella" I reassured him, but he was so restless.

"I don't fucking think so. Coffee is not your go to drink right now. You're having tea instead" I interrupted him as he was about to ask housekeeping for a coffee.

"I would have punched you in the gut, but considering you had a metal pole sticking out of it 3 days ago, I will resist" Leon chuckled as he accepted the cup of tea instead.

Thanking the elderly man on Leon's behalf, I clicked open the tracker app to see Arabella in the same place.

God, watch over my angel whilst we get ready.
