Saints Row: Bullet to the Heart

Untitled Part 78

Walking out of the Mission entrance, Ky saw Troy standing near her car. "What are you doing here? And what the hell do you want?"

Troy looked up, smiling slightly. "I want nothing; I just thought I would go with you to the hospital."

"I do not remember inviting you. Thanks, I guess I could use the company." Kyouki unlocked her car and opened the door. Troy nodded, getting in the passenger side.

"I, uh, heard what happened from the reports. I guess 'Li' is going to be in the city?"

Kyouki scoffed. "You act like it's two separate people. That accident was for me, not Ish. I sent Carlos on what seemed a suicide mission when I wanted a warehouse. Like, what normal fucker wants a warehouse. I did it to him, to them."

"Them..." Troy nodded. He suspected right. He was glad, though. Maero and the Brotherhood have boxes full of complaints against them. When Ky first contacted him about arresting the monster truckers, he assumed then she would do something. She held off. Surprised? Sure was, but with the car wreck and dragging, yeah, he will do what he can, legally.

~*St. Matthew's Hospital, Athos Bay.*~

Troy rode with Ky for one reason. He was guarding her, seeing if anything happen while she was simply going to the hospital to check on a friend. Ky and Troy had a quiet ride.

They pulled into the parking lot, getting out. Johnny raised an eyebrow. Troy noticed Gat and gave a small nod of greeting.

"Thanks for the personal guard. You ain't slick." Ky smirked. "Later." Troy stood by the car watching her walk towards Gat.

Kyouki stopped next to Johnny. "G. Just leave it for now. How's Ramon holding up?"

"Go see. I'll be out here."

Ky hummed. "I'll be out after a while. I have something to do after I leave here. Troy had my back. Just chill today." With that, she left the two men to visit two other men who needed her company.

Johnny had to admit, keeping a cop on their roster would be a lot easier to deal with things, such as Ish's accident, though this isn't some random cop, a former undercover who rolled with them for years. The dude was not just any old cop, but the police chief. That didn't sit well. Some history there that wasn't going to fly this time.

Johnny knew better. "You still have feelings for her?"

Troy didn't stop his walking, just slowed to get his message across. "Yeah, I do Gat, but that is my business and not yours." Troy knew better than anything that needed to be said to Johnny Gat was best said at a distance. He went to his car, pulling off without another word. He did what he needed, making sure Ky was safe. With a madman like Maero doing the shit he was, Ky needed all the protection she could get.

Kyouki opened the door to Carlos' room. The swelling in his face was down, and sickly yellow bruises left behind in the healing process. Thankfully, he was peacefully sleeping. Ky patted Ramon's shoulder, alerting him she was there. She pulled the chair closer to his bedside, scraping it on the floor. She paused slightly and then went to sit down.

"Jefa, I want Maero's ass." came a groggy voice.

Kyouki looked to see her friend looking over at her. "Hey hombre, you can take a number. You should get some rest."

Ramon shook his head no. He wasn't trying to rest. Not with how he was feeling. Rest was the last thing on his mind. "I should have known from the garage. Maero is loco. Running behind Los Carnales, Maero needs to be put down like a rabid dog."

Ky rubbed Ramon's back. "I don't want you fighting with your feelings. It will get you hurt."

"Then what am I supposed to do? Not everyone can shut down like you!" Ramon snapped, shrugging Ky off.
