The Bloody Angel

They stood in front of the door to the med-bay. He was thinking whether to take her with him or not, but he didn't have much of a choice - she had nowhere else to go. Their old room was now Libby's and they didn't get new one yet.

She squeezed his hand. "Is everything okay?" He nodded with quiet sigh. "You know that I will love you, no matter what you will do in there. I knew, who I was about to marry and I wouldn't be here, if I didn't like that person." She said with gentle tone.

He turned to her and took her arms gently. "I know that and I can't appreciate it more. You helped me see who I really want to be. Part of me wants to keep you as saint as you are. I don't want to rip your soul with who I will be in that room. That man might get the person he wanted to see and you don't deserve to experience that. I just want to find you a place where you will be safe and the only place for that would be the playroom, but you spent enough time in there." He pulled her to his chest and laid his head on hers. It made him feel better to be able to hug and feel her hug him back. He felt better when she relaxed in his arms.

She sighed gently and smiled up at him. "It's completely fine. I managed to spend time with them before, I can be there for little longer." She knew he didn't have much of a choice. There was no other safe place for her.

"Once I'm done with this, you're going to be stuck with me for the rest of our lives," he kissed her head and squeezed her one more time.

She blushed and laid her head back down to his chest. His heartbeat was faster than before. "Are you excited or scared?" She looked up from his chest.

"Scared of you going back to that room and sad that I'm going to tell that man that he killed his own daughter. I'm scared of losing you because I'm not there to protect you," he sighed and squeezed her closer. He didn't want to let her go. "If anything at all goes wrong, scream as loudly as possible." He buried his face into her hair. He wanted to be sure that he knew when she needed him even more than before.

She pinched his cheek. "Don't worry. I will do my best to get to you if someone tries to hurt me in any way." She stuck out her hand for the keys. He gave them to her with sad sigh. "Hey, give me a smile. It's going to be okay, right?" She did her best to seem optimistic, because she could clearly see that he needed some encouragement.

"The person that killed Libby is lucky as hell that they didn't kill the right target, because they would wish to die quickly." That was when he realized how much she actually meant to him. He knew how much he cared about her, but he didn't know why nor how much she cared about him. "I am reserving you for a cuddle session for once we have our new room."

"Ooh, can't wait," her cheeks went little red and she left him to do what he needed to do. He prayed for her to get to the playroom safely. He never knew how much one person could change a man. He learnt that lesson that day.

He opened the door behind which he found mister Hunt laying in the bed. "What can I do for you, Jessie? I'm guessing you didn't come to tell me to get well soon." He asked with convincingly friendly tone.

"Like hell I am. Last night I learnt that you ordered few men to kill my wife, because you thought I am not crazy enough. Well let me tell you something, you can be bloody glad that the last dumb dumb failed and killed the wrong person. Can you imagine the difference in this conversation? I can see one huge difference - you're still alive. On the other hand, the person they killed isn't that good of a choice for a person to die either. All of this is because of you. All of this is on your shoulders." Jessie screamed at Josh. "You're responsible for death of innocent girl." He got pissed so easily and he wasn't planning on letting Josh off any easier than he started.

Older man furrowed his eyebrows. "Yes, I want that crazy boy back. I invested in you and I want all the investment to come back to me." He said with tone that indicated that he meant every single word. "I gave you roof over your head, wife, food, family and now you're repaying me with doing exact opposite of what I'm asking from you." Josh said with very angry voice.
