Pete didn't know what to do when Vegas disappeared behind the room to the operation room. Vegas was shot four times and the doctors were not sure if he'll make it. They said they'll do their best, of course, but they were not sure if their best will be good enough to keep Vegas alive.
Pete had no idea what to do. Vegas could not die. His and Pete's new lifes barely even started. This could not be the end of it. Also Macau needed Vegas and... Macau, Pete realized that the boy did not know what happened, yet.
He knew he did not want to leave the hospital, in case... in case of some news about Vegas's state but he knew Macau should be there with him. Macau had the right to be there with him. He hoped that he was not making the wrong decision by leaving the hospital wing and going to the minor family's compound.
When he got there he found only a handful of bodyguards there.
When they saw Pete they all stood up, guns ready in their hands, but they didn't point their guns at Pete since they saw his hands were empty.
"Where's Macau?" Pete asked
"That's none of your business" one of them said. Pete could tell he's just protecting the boy and he understood that but he really wanted to get back to the hospital as soon as possible. Wanted to get back to Vegas as soon as possible.
"I need him to come with me" Pete said
"Over our dead bodies" one of them growled
"Vegas is the only one we would let Macau leave with" another added
"That'll be quite difficult since he got fucking shot!" Pete snaped
"What?"
Pete and the bodyguards looked at Macau who just entered the room, curious about the commotion. Macau at Pete's words went pale. The idea of Vegas being dead crushed him and Pete, without thinking about it, quickly went to him and pulled him in a hug. The bodyguards didn't shoot him immediately only because as Pete was going towards him Macau met halfway so they saw the boy wasn't in danger.
"He's not dead" Pete said while hugging Macau
"I am sorry. He got shot, but he's still alive. They're operating on him as we speak" he added, hoping that he's right, that Vegas was still alive.
He looked at the bodyguards and saw that the news about Vegas didn't leave them calm. They looked worried about Vegas. While Pete was looking at them one of them mouthed "Gun?" to him, wondering about the head of the family. Pete shook his head a bit to let them know he didn't make it, but he didn't want to say it aloud in front of Macau, not yet anyway. Pete noticed that Gun being dead didn't seem to bother the men as much as the news about Vegas.
"I'm taking Macau with me" Pete told the men and pulled back from the hug, but still kept his hand on Macau's shoulder to remind him that he was there. To remind Macau that he wasn't alone.
"Macau?" one of the bodyguards asked, clearly not sure what they should do now
"It's ok. Pete is... it's ok...I am coming with Pete. I'll be...I'll be safe with him" Macau nodded a bit, clearly having trouble focusing on thinking at that moment, too worried about Vegas.
The men looked at each other and nodded a bit
"Hey..." one of them looked at Pete
"Should we expect anyone..." he started, wondering if the coup will have immediate pay back or not
"No. No one's coming here" Pete shook his head
"Ok" the men muttered
"Look after Macau, ok?" another man told Pete who nodded while guiding Macau outside to his car
