Storm's POV

I waltzed straight into the bar and sat down on one of the black stools. I took off my coat and the bartender saw the bloodied piece of cloth tied around my arm.

He raised a eyebrow but said nothing of it instead he said, "Can I get you something ma'am."

"Tequila please." I replied back, I was the only person there, so he immediately served me.

He brought a glass and the bottle of tequila, he placed the glass in front of me and poured.

Just when he was about to leave and take the bottle with him, I put my hand on the bottle and said, "That can stay here."

He smirked and left to wipe down the other side of the bar down.

I silently sat there and enjoyed my drink in peace and silence.

Then of course the little bell above the door rang.

Luca, out of all the people that I hate, trust me their is plenty, came in and sat down next to me!

I was beyond fucking pissed, and had it with him, I just ignored him, since he's here he can give me a ride back to the hospital.

I sat there and poured myself a second glass, while he just stared at me like a fucking creep.

"Whiskey." Luca said to the bartender.

The bartender nodded then grabbed a glass and poured the whiskey, he sat the glass in front of Luca.

He locked gazes with me, took a sip of his whiskey, put it down and opened his mouth.

But before he could say anything my phone started to ring, an unknown number, must be Didg, he doesn't let anyone into my phone if I don't know the number.

With my gaze still on Luca I brought the phone to my ear, answered and said, "What do you want?"

He chuckled, "Just wanted to see if my best friend survived the shooting."

"Of course your being a fucking creep and spying on me." I said into my phone. I heard a chuckle.

I paused then said, "Hey I'm going to China in exactly 48 hours from now, could you arrange my flight. Oh, and I'll need my apartment in Shanghai ready." I heard some hurried typing.

"Done and done. I sent the team for your apartment to be there on the 24th and the flight on the 20th at 3:00 in the morning, same airport as usual." He said after not even a minute.

That's perfect since today is December 17th, well 18th, since it's past midnight. I'll have just the right amount of time to take care of somethings.

"Great! I'll be over tomorrow around two okay?", I told him.

"K, love ya girl, be safe." He said.

"Always, love ya too." I finished then hung up.

Luca and me never broke our gazes, I studied him, his gaze held many emotions that I couldn't make out, unfortunately for him I lack emotion except for my brother and a select few, he is my world and my world is in danger.

I already thought about leaving him in New York while I visit China. I am nervous to leave him here but Luca better keep him safe, if not I'll have his balls and shove them down his throat, that's a promise.
