Secret Weapon (Eustass Kid x Reader : Modern AU)

19.5 His Punishment

Bonus chapter because I'm in a good mood.

***
When Law and Bonney get to the house, they instantly know that something is wrong. For one thing, there are no guards at the gate, nothing. Law opens the gate since Bonney is driving and they go inside. The guards are down on the ground, clearly beaten up, and of course, Law's first thought is that Doflamingo has invaded this place.

He picks up the sword that he has taken to carrying with him at all times now due to the constant threat that he's facing. Bonney has two guns out at the ready, and both of them make their way to the house. The front door has been forced open, and tentatively, they enter.

There is a trail of blood from the outside going all the way into the kitchen. There, Killer sits there on the floor, supported by a wall, trying to make a call on his phone.

Law rushes over to him, to check his wounds. "Hey! What happened to you? Shit!"

He blinks, "Thank goodness... can you get Kid upstairs? He... collapsed in the living room..."

"Is he hurt too? Just what happened to you?" Law asks in alarm as he sees the injury on Killer's back.

"No, he's just sedated..."

Bonney rushes to the living room where Kid is collapsed amidst scattered and broken furniture. The whole place looks like someone tried to destroy it with a bulldozer.

Bonney tries to wake him up, but he seems completely out of it, so she tries to help him up instead. He's too heavy, so she resorts to dragging him up the stairs with a half-hearted apology. At the same time, Law supports Killer on his shoulder and helps him up as well.

Both Law and Bonney come to an abrupt stop when they see the door to your room crushed to pieces and looking inside, they see the bloodstained broken window.

Horror clouds Law's face as he tries to read the situation. It comes to him. You must have been discovered. He is suddenly fearful for your life, what could possibly have happened to you.

"Answer me this... your life could depend on it. Did he kill her?" Law asks Killer.

"No, I got her out... wait how did you...?" Killer looks at him and shakes his head. "Of course you knew... you took the fall for her last time..."

"It looks like you took an even bigger fall. Come on, I need to stop your bleeding and get all the glass out." Law takes him to the med room, relieved that you're okay.

While Law is busy with Killer's treatment, he hears a banging sound coming from Kid's room.

"Is he awake already? It hasn't even been an hour, I thought Killer said they gave him three vials!" He asks Bonney.

"He's half awake, don't ask me how. Tolerance, probably or just anger." She says. "I locked the door, but if he keeps banging on it with his metal arm, then it's gonna break."

"Well, then we just have to give him another one then."

"Until when? The medication can only calm him down for so long." Bonney argues. "You're the doctor, you should know what to do."

"I'm not a fucking psychiatrist, okay?" Law scowls. "Even still, I know that this is the worst case scenario for someone with his condition. Betrayal, abandonment, all his paranoia has come to life. I don't know if we can contain him."

"Come on, you betrayed him and he was able to put that aside and work with you again, so..." Bonney starts, but Law shakes his head.

"That's different."
