"Just seeing he's not playing possum." Ronan feared as he picked Billy up off the street. Rue got the casino door.
"God damn outlaw! I should have killed you!" Billy cursed pushing away from a surprised O'Boyle.
"But you didn't." Ronan smiled. "Guess if you die I'm gonna get your girl."
"Like hell..." Billy went for his gun. It fumbled out of his hand as a deadweight. Billy passed out cold and fell into his foe's arms.
Rue couldn't hide her anger as they carried Billy into the lobby. "Ain't you a big man kicking him when he's down!"
The staff rushed to help. O'Boyle and Rue got Billy to the sofa.
"You should thank me! I gave your boyfriend something to fight for."
"Go get the Doc!" ordered Rue. Jujube nodded pointed to a porter and he was gone.
"And if he dies his last thoughts will be that I betrayed him!" Rue's anger rose as she placed a cushion under Billy's head.
"Betrayed him... with the likes of me? Best make sure he doesn't die. Don't want your boyfriend dying thinking that!"
"Stop calling him my boyfriend!" Rue shouted, her eyes piercing Ronan's gaze.
The staff looked on in shock.
"STOP!!" Jujube shouted. He pulled Rue to one side and whispered ...
"This man may be dying, Boss. You can't be fighting with this... floor manager."
- He looked at O'Boyle with contempt. "I'll stay with Billy. Take Pale face to your office.
You're the boss. You know what needs to be done."
"You're right," Rue sighed. "This needs to be sorted out. Call me when the Doc gets here.
This won't take long."
She turned to Ronan. "You come with me!" She led him to her office.
