Chapter 5

*Poke*

"Mommy, is she alive?"

*Poke*

I chuckled at that.

"Ooo, she's alive, mommy".

I opened my eyes and I saw Saffron sitting beside my bed, ready to poke me again.

"Hey, little one", I said to him. "Hi", he gave me one of those toothy grins.

"How are you feeling, dear?" Kyline asked kindly. "I'm feeling alright, the medicine is doing its job", I answered.

"Saffron, dear, we have to go", Kyline said. "But mommy, I want to stay with her", Saffron whined.

"We're going to visit her soon, honey, we need to go back home in London", Kyline said.

"But", Saffron's voice cracked and his eyes were filled with tears already.

"Hey big guy, it's alright, you heard what mommy said, you're going to visit me soon", I said to him.

"But you're hurt, I want to take care of you", he cried. "I'm a big girl, I can do this", I smiled to him, "How about this, I will visit you next week in London, is that alright?"

His face brightened and my eyes soften. "Yes, yes", he said happily while clapping his hands.

"My family can't take you enough for what you have done, we'll be forever grateful", Kyline said warmly.

"My pleasure", I replied. They offered me a big amount of money and I told them that I don't want it and that someone else needs it more than I do. I told them to give it to an orphanage I kept passing by whenever I walk to clear my head and so they did.

"So I guess, we'll see you next week?" Kyline asked and I nodded my head in return.

"Yeah", I said. "Come on, Saffron", Kyline called out to Saffron, who is still next to me.

"Bye Paris", Saffron said. "Bye big guy", I said to him and kissed his forehead, "I'll see you next week, alright? Be good".

"Okay", he said and went to his mommy. "We'll be going now", Kyline said. "Take care", I said.

They walked out of the room just when Luis and Alejandro went inside.

Darn, I thought I wouldn't see them, yet

"Paris, what don't you understand with 'no trouble', huh", Luis said angrily and I sighed.

"I didn't mean to", I said quietly. "You didn't mean to?!" Luis yelled and I winced, "Are you crazy? You almost died, Paris, do you know what the fuck I felt when Divina called me, telling me that you have been shot twice and your ribs were broken once again".

Alejandro stayed quiet in the side. "Well I'm sorry for trying to save a kid", I said bluntly.

"Were you even thinking about your life, huh Paris", Luis said. "Of course I was", I said.

"Then why the hell did you put your life at risk", Luis said.

"I put my life at risk all the time, Luis", I argued. "That's during your mission", Luis said, "WHEN WILL YOU EVER LISTEN".

"YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT I FELT", I yelled. Luis looked taken back, it's probably because I have never yelled at him.

"Uhm, I think it's safe to say, chill yo' tits man", Alejandro blurted out.

I snap my gaze at him and glared at him. "And woman", Alejandro added.

"I mean, what's the point of arguing about this, what's done is done, and Luis, Paris is nineteen, she can handle herself", Alejandro said.

Oh thank god finally someone said it.

"Since when did you become so smart", I jokingly told him. It was Alejandro's turn to glare at me. "Oh shut up, I'm trying my best here", he said.

Luis was still speechless. I moved my leg and my side started to hurt. "Fudgin' shit", I said and Alejandro laughed.

"Careful"

I looked at Luis. "I almost lost you", he said quietly and I sighed.

"I'm sorry", it was the both of us that said it.

"The doctor said you're all set up to leave", Alejandro spoked up.

"Man, shut the hell up, you like to ruin the moment", I groaned, causing Luis to chuckle.

"It's my job Paris, it's my job", Alejandro said while winking at me.

"Dude is there something in your eye", I said playfully and he groaned. "Stop being mean to me, holy shit", Alejandro said.

Luis and I laughed. "Alright, I'll carry you since I know you hate wheelchairs", Luis offered.

"Oh thank god", I said.

Luis carried me bridal style and led us out of the room.

We made it out of the hospital and head out to Luis's car when suddenly a knife passed by my ear and landed hit the car, making a sound.

The three of us turned our heads and found five guys walking our way.

"Alejandro, go and drive", Luis ordered while putting me down at the back seat and rushed in the passenger seat.

The guys were getting closer and I saw one of them holding gun.

"Fucking duck right now", I hissed and we did just when the guy fired his gun, "What the fuck are you waiting for, drive, you moron".

"This is bullshit", Alejandro cussed and press the gas pedal.

Gas pedal, gas pedal, oh shut it, now's not the time to sing, I scolded myself.

We thought we lost them when we saw a car following us. "I think now is the time to call for a back-up", I suggested. "Right", Luis said, pulling out his phone.

"Mason, pula, track my phone for the location", Luis said.

"Got it, boss", Mason said in the speaker.

We don't usually call Luis boss even if he is the boss, but when a situation is pula, which is code red, meaning one of us - in which our case right now, the three of us - are in danger.

"Trouble loves me so much", I said sarcastically, "I just got out of the damn hospital and guess what? I'm in trouble, again".

"Now's not the time to joke around, Paris", Luis said sternly. "Sorry", I apologized quietly.

Bullets were being fired, targeting us, but not quite reaching us.

"Damn, these people don't have aim", I said and Alejandro chuckled, "Got any gun there, amigo".

Luis handed me a gun and I scoot to the window side of the car. I cocked the gun and stick my head out.

I groaned out in pain from my wounds, but I tried my best to ignore it. I aimed my gun at the enemy's tire and fired it.

"Bullseye", I said quietly when I hit my target. The car was slowing down. "And the final touch", I said and shoot the front of the car.

The car exploded. "Don't mess with the best", I said cockily and went back inside the car, leaning in the seat, "God this is torture".

"You alright, Paris?" Alejandro asked.

"Peachy, just peachy", I answered.

"More cars, focus", Luis snap.

I look back and boy, was he right. There were three more cars following us.

"Where the hell is that back-up you called, I'm going to hunt Mase if I die here", I spat out.

"Poor Mason", Alejandro said while shaking his head and I glared at him.
