The Gangster And The Hacker

Chapter 7

I tried to open my eyes but groaned as my eyes were attacked by the excessive light.

Whoever opened the windows to let the light in was going to die a slow and painful death.

I was pulled out of my thoughts as I saw the scene in front of me. I sat back amused, as the leaders of one of the deadliest Mafia in the country argued over strawberries and bananas. Are they for real?

"You never know what might happen!" Benjamin exclaimed, shaking his head wildly.

This guy needs to tone down the theatrics.

I mean I know he has majored in Drama but honestly, he should be banned from acting. Alas, no one can do that. After all, his side career was acting during university.

I wonder how the fuck did the professor tolerate him through the uni. That fucking university even gave him an extra credit certificate. For his 'admirable' acting skills.

"But the doctor said she will be fine!" Riley hissed.

"And who f- asked you to do all of this?" Jasper asked, trying not to swear.

One would think they're stupid high schoolers rather than cold-blooded mafia men. 

"Ummm… Hello?" I asked hoarsely. Yet, they were talking about whether 'strawberries have Iron in it.'

Wait, what?

"She may die of iron deficiency! So I bought strawberries!" Benjamin exclaimed.

"She is around our age, not a 3 year old! She won't die in one day because of iron deficiency in one day, Ben! You didn't have to buy 12 dozen of them!" Riley exclaimed.

"Can anyone tell me what the hell is going on here?" I asked, not realizing that I swore in front of kids. The adults didn't hear me anyway.

"Aunt Annie!" They yelled and tackled me as if I were a quarterback. And… the adults finally saw that I woke up from the deep slumber!

Finally.

"By the way, you swore just now so you have to give the three of us 10 bucks to keep our mouth shut." Ray said. 

"And still have you open your big mouth in front of your mother? No thank you." I replied raspily, taking the glass of water kept at the side table.

"What happened and-" I was about to ask about how long I was asleep when I saw that my favorite pants were ripped below the knee!

"Who the fu-dge ripped my favorite pants!" I mentally patted myself for the save as Jasper smirked at me.

"Your right leg was covered in blood and to remove the bullet, I had to rip it. Sorry, Love." He said, stressing on 'Love'. He wanted to piss me off. And it worked.

I took a deep breath. "Oh Honey… it is not your fault." I said, stressing on 'Honey' and giving him my best puppy dog eyes.

He gulped, clearly getting the message. Because I'm sure that in the past week, he must have realized that my puppy dog eyes are not cute.

"What did the doctor say?" I asked.

"You didn't lose much blood. But you lost consciousness because of the lack of Iron in your body." Jasper said.

"When did he go away?" I asked, coughing a little.

"Just now. He asked you to call him after you feel better." Benjamin said, handing me another glass of water.

"Meow.." I heard the meows and knew it was Louis trying to climb the bed. I was about to bend down to pick him up, but couldn't do so because of the excruciating pain I felt.
