The pounding in my head feels like a thousand hammers slamming into one spot.My body aches and a slight ringing noise brings the sound of my name being called to light."James!"a very distressed voice called.I try to open my eyes to see who it is, but it's to no use ..
It's like I am completely drained of energy ,gah my head.
"James!"The voice calls, and I can recognize that it's a female voice."He is perfectly fine,I am sure he will wake up soon."A male voice informs the very much panicked female voice,"So he is alive?"the female asks, and the other man , I am assuming a doctor, confirms.If that beeping I hear is a monitor,and that man informing that female is a doctor , this means the mission to find Danté went horrible.I try to think back about what happened my head pounds as I recall the last moments before black consumed me.
I was in the warehouse ,with Leo ,we were fighting Danté's men.One of them tried grabbing Leo ,I got in the way and I felt a sharp pain on my head ,and then it all went dark.So I was taken out?By what?A gun?Did someone knock me over the head with something, because if so then I need stronger training.
A very familiar voice booms,"Elena he is alive and trusts me even if he was dead his fortunes wouldn't go to you,it would probably go to charity."Leo.Leo is here, and Elena is Leo, my best friend,Elena..what the hell does she want?"Whatever,Leo."Elena's voice says, and the noise of clacking heels disappears."Man,I am so glad you dumped her ass ,because daaaaaaammnnn."Leo talks to..unconscious me?Somehow I manage to open my mouth,"Me too ,bud."
Finally my body allows me to open my eyes and I met with a very bland ,white hospital room.oh and Leo who is smiling from ear to ear,"You know if I knew he presents would've woke you up I would have had her here 3 weeks ago."3 weeks?3 Fucking weeks?!?"3 weeks?"I ask my voice cracking."Yeah you have been out for like 24 days now..."no wonder my throat is dry and my voice sounds so...weak."What the hell happened?"I ask sitting up but quickly throwing the idea out of my head when a sharp pain shoots through my side.
"After you tried stopping that man from getting me, you were shot down." So I am not weak. "As soon as we took care of those guys, we brought you here.It was the nearest hospital."Right,yeah, are all the way in Verona."When can I get out?"I ask him, and He chuckles, rubbing the back of his neck,"Doctor said, "No action until you are FULLY healed.And I think I agree with him."You have got to be kidding me? "And how long until I am fully healed?"I ask, raising an eyebrow, and he smiles, a cheeky smile.
" 12 weeks!"I yell .Leo looks like he's enjoying this.The moment he told me I'm not allowed any action for 12 weeks I was boiling over,"and after those 12 weeks ,you aren't allowed too much physical movement for 4 weeks."Oh.My.Goodness.4 months?4 Months of not doing anything. Four months!?!"I can't.. I have a job to do,I have to find Dante and make sure he gets what he deserves."Leo, something on his phone.
"Your mom told me you'd refuse to rest,so I came up with a plan."He is probably gonna strap me to a chair and make me watch that disgusting Barbie movie.Isn't he?"Don't worry, James,it's nothing bad.We got you a caretaker."No,no,"your mom met her last year at one of her hook clubs."No,no,no,no,"You will love her,your mom already helped her settle in at your place so that when you arrive all you would have to do is relax,and Emily will take care of it."A caretaker?Do I look nine to them?I can take care of myself!
"I do not need some old wrinkly cow looking after me."He snorts,"of course... except you will just love Emily.Come on, I will tell the doctor you're awake, and then we will see what he decides to do with you."Hopefully kill me.Gosh,a caretaker?Seriously?As he walks put I look at the clipboard next to me and reach out with my one hand and take it.I read out all my injuries...fuck,no wonder I have to rest for so long.4 Broken ribs?A gunshot wound on my side and in the back of my head?Damn..how did tht bullet miss my brain?and the cherry on the cake , a broken finger.A finger.A FINGER.
Holy cow.Someone save me.Fuuuuccckkk.
This is going to be the most torturous four months of my life.An old lady taking care of me.Not being allowed to hunt Dante down.I.Hate.My.Life.
