Queen of the Barbershop // BWWM

9.

After Ghost got the news that Alex was going to be have to be housed at the hospital, she got the name of the hospital and she drove her new family member to the shop. Camilla had put her paramedic uniform shirt back on and Ghost was going to give her some new clothes to wear and she was going to tend to her bruises. Camilla had fell asleep in the position she had curled up in and Ghost watched her as she drove back to the shop. When she arrived at the shop, she unlocked the car and she lifted Camilla in her arms. She could see that Camilla was taller than her, but she was thinner than her. Ghost knew that it wasn't healthy for her to be that thin. Boris opened the door and he noticed the tall frame that Ghost was carrying into the shop. "Boss, where's King?" Boris asked, not seeing Alex anywhere. Ghost pressed her lips in a thin line. She then decided to tell him.

"Alex was shot by a stray bullet, but he will be fine. The bullet didn't hit anything major," she tells Boris, who nodded his head in understanding. His questioning gaze turned to Camilla and Ghost smiled down at her. "This woman is named Camilla. She will be our new family member, so treat her well," she tells Boris, who grinned at having a new family member. Despite her happy demeanor, she had to fix up Camilla's wounds and when she knew that she would have to bandaged up Camilla until she looks like a mummy. She wordlessly carried Camilla to her office and Boris didn't follow, noticing both the angry and the gloomy gaze that was in Ghost's eyes. You can help her, boss. He thought, knowing that Ghost would like to tend to Camilla alone for the time being.

When Ghost laid Camilla's limp body on her desk, she slowly pulled up her shirt to see the bruises. Ghost couldn't handle seeing the bruises marring Camilla's perfect skin. She grabbed the bandages from her first aid kit and she started to wrap the bandages around Camilla's body. When Ghost was finished with her, Ghost couldn't believe that the woman looked like a fucking mummy. The only thing that wasn't bandaged up was her face and she had small bruises on her face and so, Ghost had put small bandages on her face so the bruises could heal.

Ghost let Camilla rest in her office as she slowly left the room. She told Boris to guard Camilla as she slept and to let her know when something changes about her. Ghost went outside and she started to smoke a cigarette. "Hey, Boss. Rare to see you out here smoking," Richard tells Ghost, who turned to him. The man wasn't smoking for once in his life. 

"It's rare to see you not smoking," Ghost tells Richard and the man chuckled. 

"Well, it's rare to see you smoking," he shot back at her and Ghost smirked at him. She then sighed. 

"Look, Boss. We're your family. You don't need to hide anything from us," Richard tells Ghost, who then started to feel selfish as she knew that Richard was right. Because they were her family, she knew that they deserved to know everything that happened. She then smiled up at Richard, who hoped that he wasn't going to die for telling Ghost his feelings. 

"Why are you so scared? I'm not going to shoot you. You've helped me out a lot. Gather the crew. I got some things to tell you guys," she commanded Richard, who nodded at his boss. Boris looked at her with a questioning gaze and Ghost nodded her head at him. He nodded back and he went back to her office to help Camilla get up. 

When Boris walked Camilla to her, Ghost readied her arms so Camilla could fall onto her. When Camilla was safely into her hold, Ghost muttered sweet words into her ear. "Now, Camilla, I want you to meet your new big brother. His name is Boris," she introduced the gentle giant to Camilla, who was frightened of his large posture. She shyly waved at Boris, who smiled softly at her. 

"Hello there, Camilla. I hope we can be friends," Boris made his intent know to Camilla and when Camilla heard him, a large grin filled her features. She held her hand out and Boris took her hand in his large one and shook it. 

"There. That takes care of the giants that we have," Ghost joked with Camilla and Boris, who both giggled and chuckled respectively.
