"Where you headed off to, Dark Angel?" Mackenzie's neighbor, Xavier, joked walking into her house.
"Funny. I have some stuff I need to do." She said pulling on a black motorcycle jacket over her black wife beater and that went with her black leather pants and boots.
"You need some help?" He asked "Haven't had much fun lately."
"Sure. You need to get your shit now though." She said heading out the door and to her Yamaha. By the time she got her helmet on and started the bike up Xavier was already waiting for her.
"What are we doing here?" He asked when the parked in a spot in Little Saigon.
"I need to see if someone is hanging out with the wrong person." She replied looking over at Johnny's house. Through the window she could see Johnny and some brunette.
"At 3:30?" He asked incredulously.
"Don't have time to do it later. I think I found what I came for, though." She said as the brunette's top came off showing a big lotus tattoo. "Come on. I need to get to the hospital."
"You going to be okay?" Xavier asked when they stopped at a red light.
"I'll be fine." She gritted out.
"Just do what you do. Don't think about it just yet. Plan then attack. Remember that. Just like all the other stuff we've done." He said when they parked in the hospital and walked up.
"All I need to do right now is check on V and Jesse." She said as they got to the elevator.
"From high school? The Toretto team V and Jesse? No shit." He said with a laugh.
"That's them." She said walking towards V's room. When they walked in they found Leon, Mia and Vince laughing.
"I wanna know whats so funny." She said with a smirk.
"Are you a dominatrix on your off time?"Leon asked making them all laugh.
"It's too early for that, sweetheart." She replied. "You guys remember Xavier Brown."
"Dawg, Whats up? Been a long ass time." Leon said slapping hands with him.
"For real, man. Hey Mia." Xavier said giving her a hug and a kiss on the cheek.
"Hey X. How have you been?" Mia asked with a small smile.
"Not bad. You look like you've been doing." He said with a small smile of his own. Mackenzie just shook her head with a chuckle.
"So what were you doing?" Vince asked focusing her attention on him.
"Just checking up on a couple people." She replied vaguely.
"Getting into trouble." He stated more then asked.
"Not yet. So how is this nurse you got?" She asked sitting on the edge of his bed.
"She's a real old lady with bad bed side manners.
"Worse then mine?"
"Surprisingly, yes."
"Funny. Has she asked your doctor about seeing Jesse yet?"
"Nope. Said something about not wanting to push some two-bit criminal around." He said looking at his hands.
"Maybe the nurse will be better next shift." She said
"Hey we're going to get something to eat. We'll be back." Leon said
"Bring me back a hamburger!" Vince yelled
"Now, Mr. Venicelli, you know you're not to eat that kind of stuff." Nurse Irene said as the rest left.
"This food taste like crap. I've lost 5 pounds in like 2 hours." Vince whined.
"Well too bad. Shouldn't have done what you did." She said shrewdly.
"Now Irene, you know you can not pass judgment off on someone like that. That gets people fired." Mackenzie said nonchalant as she picked at her nails. Nurse Irene walked off in a huff. "I hate that women. She's the last person who can say anything about you guys. Her son is in jail for life for murder."
"Mackenzie?" Vince asked like a little boy when she calmed down.
"Yea?"
"Can you lay down here with me?"
"Used to having a female body next to you?" She asked half joking/half serious as she pulled off her jacket and threw it on a chair.
"Not really. I just want to hold someone." He said hoping she doesn't think less of him.
"Scoot over." She said before slipping in.
"Thank you. For everything." He said.
"Don't thank me yet. This is just a small thing." She said.
"It still means a lot." He said rubbing her cheek with his thumb. They were silent for a little while, then they heard a commotion in the hall. "What the hell?"
