(Lad)
I sneered as I looked the man up , and down. So this was Spelnor, clenching
my fists as I struggled to keep myself in check even though I ached to hit
him again. I rolled my eyes as I watched Mia fawn over him, icing his
rapidly forming black eye. Starring down at my fists, I continued to clench
them waiting for them to realize there were others in the room. She was
totally in love with the man.
"So this is O'Connor?" I said leaning against the wall.
"Yea, this is Brian," She said sighing wearily as she stroked his hair
gently drinking him in with her eyes.
"Brian , this is Ladie," she said nodding toward me. I smiled obnoxiously
as the thin man in front of me gawked. Obviously my reputation proceded me.
"So, Mr. "O'connor," I said almost bitterly " I need a favor," I said jumping right to the point as I went over my plan.
( L) My heart felt like it was racing a mile a minute as we donned out costumes. Slipping into a pair
of black jeans, a long sleeved black shirt, and one of Vs arm bands for luck I prayed that everything would go ok, for once. Looking across the room to my left I could see LAdie in a pair of green scrubs, pinning on her auburn wig. She was wearing green contacts as well, going all out, making sure she would never be able to be identified. Mia would be in the car with Mia, pills, and medical equipment ready for Jesse the moment we entered the car.
"Were ready to roll," Lad called out as she stalked towards the door, shoulders tense with purpose.
(Lad) I felt the familiar rush I always got when I did a job, or used Nos. I was ready to get in there, and back out with my bro. As Brian parked in the hospital parking lot I scooted up in the back seat to to review the plan, and check my earpiece.
"Go time," I murmured as me, and L stepped from the car, her heading around the back way. Hitting my watch as I entered the sliding doors of the hospital I adjusted my i.d., and headed for the long hallway that would take me to Jesse. Glancing around I talked into the nearly invisible ear piece "I'm in," I whispered as I tried not to hurry, and look unnatural as the seconds ticked by.
:almost there: I thought to myself as I turned the last corner. I breathed as sigh of relief as the room number came into view.
"12 minutes," Brian said reminding me off the schedule.
"Aight," I said licking my lips as I slipped into the room, locking the door behind me. Looking at his charts I saw that a nurse was due in about 10 minutes. I was frozen for a second at the sight of that thin body I knew so well lying in the hospital bed attached to machines. I knew all hell was gonna break lose after I unplugged the machines. "L?" I whispered as I opened the window.
"I'm here . She said giving me a thumbs up letting me know she was ready ,and waiting.
"Jess," I said shaking him gently.
"hmmm," he asked heavily sedated as he slowly turned in his bed .
"Hello Nurse, for a second I thought you were my friend Ladie, but I haven't seen her in a very very long time," he said making me laugh at his child like voice. "It is me hermano," I said kissing his forehead. (brother)
"Lad?" He asked coming out of his stupor.
"What are you doing?"
"Shh , I don't have time, were getting you out of here, do you think you could walk?"
"I can try," he said honestly.
"Ok, come on we have to be out of here in less than ten minutes, and once I Unhook these machines the Crap will hit the fan."
"I'll do my best," he said grinning sheepishly, humbling me with his complete trust.
"Aight on three mijo," I said as I helped him sit up.
"One, Two three," The rest was a blur as we rushed out amongst a mass of beeping devices and flashing buttons.
(L)
I breathed a sigh of relief, as the hospital got fainter, and fainter, finally disappearing with a push of Nos. Glancing back in the seat careful not to jar Mia, I smiled as I watched Lad kiss Jesse on the head. Things were finally getting back to normal.
( Lad)
" I missed you little bro," I whispered kissing his head thinking of how close I'd come to losing him.
"How you feeling?"
"Like I've been shot," he said making me snort.
"Come on Jesse," I said my tone serious.
"Well, my meds are starting to wear off," he said trailing off as he grimaced.
"I got your back," I said tossing off the wig, and digging under the seat for my black bag.
"Everyone's waiting for you," I said as the meds kicked in a few minutes later.
"Just concentrate on getting better. "
"K Lad," he said humbling me again with his complete trust of my capabilities as he drifted off. Digging through the bag once again I pulled out my cell.
"Hello?" answered a sleepy Leon.
"We're on our way baby, but we'll be stopping for the night soon," I said my voice suddenly tight. Hearing his voice made me long for him so badly it actually surprised me.
"Leiandra, baby where are you?"
" We just passed the border, Jesse is fine, everything went smoothly."
"Just get home soon," He said his voice filled with relief.
" I will," I said realizing as I hung up that I never wanted to be away from him again. L
We rented a hotel that night, and Brian, and Lad went back to pick up a few of his things, and his car. Jesse laid in the bed next to ours resting peacefully. I felt bad having Lad out there risking it all, but the truth is Mia nor I had neither the balls, nor the heart for it. The past few months had put a major strain on us. "What am I going to do? " Mia asked gently groaning as she rolled over on her side to face me.
"I don't' know, when are you going to tell him?"
: After we've been back for awhile, right now I'm to worried about Dom to think about any thing else. " Nodding my head in agreement I let my eyes close weary from the whole ordeal.
"So, Mr. "O'connor," I said almost bitterly " I need a favor," I said jumping right to the point as I went over my plan.
