“I'll share the sentiment next time a fucker shoots you in the butt.” After mutters something at my reminder of how she acted when she was shot on her ass cheek and leaves.
I ignore Mercy grinning at the mention of the incident as she begins stitching me up. Then After wasn't the dead bitch she is now. She was full of life, still a hard ass but one who smiled and cracked a joke now and again.
Now her jokes only muse her at the expense of someone else. But fuck it, she is my sister for all intents and purposes. Never looked at her as anything more.
“We're done here, let's go check on the patient, call your girl up, find out how far she is, Venus needs to get an I.V up.”
Mercy washes up her hands while she talks to me and I pull on my cut and rip the rest of my sleeve from my arm off.
Mercy used to be a nurse for the military before she decided her life belonged in the field, not caring for the injured. She became our eyes and ears, got a shit straw of luck when her in-tel got her sister and team dead. Now she hides her pain and hurt behind her nosy ways and optimistic but lethal attitude toward life. She is one of the few of us in the club that has retired from the special ops. And maybe the only one who didn't let that life alter the one she lives now.
I wait for Mercy to leave the bathroom, then take a leak. Once I am done I pull my phone out and do as she requested, “How far are you guys?”
“About another ten-fifteen minutes,” Venus says in answering instead of Quinn who must be driving.
“Be quick, she needs fluids asap.”
I clip the call and take a deep breath before I enter the room with the woman who wrecked my life in every sense of the word.
“Marone, he is the only one Lucca trusts. Don't think he'll leave anytime soon.” Beggar's dry and scraped voice steals my attention as I walk back in the room.
